Cousin Randy and List,

As a former Virginia 2007 Community coordinator and a current member of the
Jamestown 2007 Speakers Bureau, I'm more than a little concerned about the
impression that nothing is happening with the upcoming anniversary.

The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation is doing much more than offering
membership in a "1607 Society."

As the organization designated by the Commonwealth to spearhead the 400th
anniversary events, it is working closely with the Jamestown Federal
Commission, over 100 local governments, and scores of organizations to plan
events throughout Virginia in 2007.

As the web site says, there will be "18 months of Festivities, 10 Signature
Events, Hundreds of Community Projects and Commemorative Programs" beginning
in May of 2006 with a promotional sail of the "Godspeed" to Alexandria,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Newport (ending in July). It
is no coincidence that the Godspeed Sail will hit the primary media markets
on the East Coast.

For more information on these not insignificant activities, please visit:

A member of the Jamestown 2007 Speakers Bureau can be dispatched to give a
presentation at community events and club meetings by filling out this
