Hello everyone, I got the opportunity to visit the office in VA yesterday and wanted to publicly point out that our staff is doing EXCELLENT work.

They each took time to speak with me, and took me on the "grand tour." These are some fantastic people doing a great job. *Trent Somes, III* Region 5 Alternate, Libertarian National Committee Founder, Westmoreland County Libertarians <http://fb.com/wclibertarians> National Chair, Libertarian Youth Caucus <http://fb.com/LYCaucus> Facebook <http://fb.com/trentsomes/> Twitter <http://twitter.com/TrentSomes/> Instagram <http://instagram.com/trentsomes/> Address <https://goo.gl/maps/gWqJw21CJZs> Cell: (412) 496 - 8552 Home: (412) 646 - 1872
