Meet-Up & Members Blog

The RPCVs of Gulf Coast FL invite you to a special event Saturday, December 7, 5 – 7 pm at Matt Montavon’s home, 7448 Ridge Road near Clark Road and Honore Ave.

We will bid farewell to Leita, who will be stepping down as President, and to Randy Adams, who has been a resourceful board member this past year.

Most important, we will have the honor of hosting special guest speaker, Glenn Blumhorst, who will visit us from Washington, D.C.

Glenn is leading the Peace Corps community’s flagship campaign to establish Peace Corps Park on a National Park Service site near the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall.
