Arlington County Republican Committee Mark Kelly, Chairman

In memoriam

ACRC sadly notes the passing of several dear friends in 2006. All had served on or supported our Committee, and each contributed greatly to the civic life of Arlington County. We shall treasure their memory for years to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.
