The Virginia Council of Chapters meets quarterly - usually in JANUARY, APRIL, JULY & OCTOBER. Historically, most meetings were at Fort Lee Virginia (at either the Quartermaster Museum, Women's museum, or Fort Lee Club), considered a centralized location. More recently meetings are held at the Virginia War Memorial, in the new Galanti Eductaion Center. Meetings are occasionally hosted elsewhere, by Virginia chapters. Quarterly VCOC meetings are generally held from 10 AM to 2:30 or 3 PM. Once every two years the VCOC holds an expanded biennial dinner meeting with officers elected at the daytime meeting and sworn-in at the dinner that night. The next biennial meeting will be in Oct 2013.
