Shenandoah Region members gathered at the historic Michie Tavern adjacent to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello home last evening to celebrate the holiday season and to reminisce about the past year. Members dined on delicious classic Southern fare. An outstanding time was had by all.

Attendees brought toys, games, and even a donation of 100 children’s books to support the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The incoming Shenandoah Region Board for 2025-26 was formally introduced: Jon Perelman, President; Rick Ebinger, Executive Vice President; Cecile Graziano, Vice President; Steve Upman, Secretary; and Dan Graff, Treasurer. Thanks for stepping up to lead the chapter.

The traditional highlight of the evening was a raffle which included gift certificates for the Drive Shack golf, select restaurants in the region (The Inn at Willow Grove, Perry’s Steakhouse, and The Farmhouse at Veritas Restaurant), as well as the most sought after prize, a voucher for the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta.
