​LPA District 3

The Colonial Chapter (48)

 

In 1991, thirteen members of District 3 met and agreed to form a chapter. At the time the application was filed it was decided that the boundary of the Chapter would extend in a radius of 100 miles from Emporia, Virginia and would include counties and towns in Southeastern VA and Northeastern North Carolina. The application for chapter charter was submitted and approved on July 10th 1992. C. Harrell Parker was elected President and served until 1996. 

 

In August 1995 the Colonial Chapter hosted the Fourth Annual “Weekend at the Beach” in Virginia Beach, VA.
