·         Congratulations to the Thomas Jefferson Area CIT Program and their coordinator Tom von Hemert.  In two recent media pieces, the Thomas Jefferson Area CIT program made Virginia proud!

o   In this video following the Tucson shooting, Fred Frese and Pete Early give an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”  Look closely, what pin is Pete Earley wearing? http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/politics/2011/01/16/sotu.01.16.frese.earley.cnn.html

 

Let me know if you have any questions,
