"The RA is not only a time to meet new friends and educators across the country, but also share what we are doing as a state,  'What makes Virginia awesome!' It's also the time to give back to those in need. We participate in community outreach by volunteering at local agencies such as Food Banks, Schools, People Serving People, donating books and toiletries, filled backpacks, and the Ronald McDonald House. Therefore Virginia is not just for lovers, it's for educators who care and love to give back! Finally, it's a great time to learn about the host state and maybe return as a personal vacation.  - Renee Beverly, Spotsylvania
