Richmond, Virginia (January 16, 2007) -- Delegate Jeff Frederick announced that Monday, February 19, 2007 will be “52nd District Constituent Day in Richmond”. He and his wife Amy will host the third annual event for constituents of his district to come to Richmond during session.
“The event over the past two years were such successes, we wanted to be sure to make it an annual affair for the people of Woodbridge, Dumfries, Quantico, Triangle, Montclair, and Manassas to have a designated day just for them to come to Richmond, meet with their representative in state government, and see the legislative process at work first hand,” Delegate Frederick said. “Of course, our door is always open and constituents are welcome to visit anytime, but designating a special day and program for doing so will hopefully encourage people to come to Richmond that wouldn't normally otherwise visit.”
Frederick's office has planned for those participating a welcome reception, an opportunity to meet with Frederick and House Speaker Bill Howell, and an opportunity to watch that day's proceedings. Guided tours of Virginia's historical Capitol are not available this year due to the Capitol renovation project, but Frederick's staff said that they are working on putting together an alternate activity to substitute last year's tour, just as they did last year in offering tours to the Govenor's mansion and the Capitol grounds.
Delegate Frederick stated: “This office belongs to the people of the 52nd district, so I'm glad we were able to again put together a program for them to come and see their home in state government.”
Those interested in signing up to attend “52nd District Constituent Day in Richmond” or to receive additional information may email delegate@va52.com with their name, address, and phone number, or may call his Richmond office 804-698-1052.
