FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oct. 2005 Foxx Attends Davie
Businesswomen’s Lunch DBWA to Co-Sponsor Business After-Hours by Sheri West Symanski U.S. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R–5th District), in the area for the Dell Grand Opening in Winston-Salem, attended the monthly meeting of Davie Business Women’s Association (DBWA). Foxx, a member of DBWA who spends most weekdays on Capitol Hill, expressed delight that her schedule allowed her to share lunch with fellow businesswomen. Having had a career in business prior to serving in the state government and now in the U.S. House of Representatives, Foxx explained how she empathizes with working women, truly understanding the challenges they face, and that she considers every issue examined by Congress to be a “women’s issue.” She mentioned that the Republican Women’s Caucus is evaluating several ideas for projects to undertake and sponsor that will be of particular benefit to women. Foxx also told about the “Hero Bill,” which she authored, that would allow military personnel to invest combat pay into an IRA. (The current tax code does not allow non-taxable income, including combat pay, to be invested in IRAs.) The bill passed unanimously in the House of Representatives, making Foxx the first Junior Congresswoman to have a bill passed, and awaits vote by the Senate. Davie Business Women’s Association meets the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 noon at the Rotary Hut. The program for Nov. 2 is networking. Guests are welcome. For more information, contact Janel Hensley at 782-2242. This Thursday, October 13, DBWA will team with the Davie County Chamber of Commerce and RayLen Vineyards to sponsor Business After-Hours from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event takes place at RayLen Vineyards and will include tours and wine tasting, catering by Bette Hauser of Savory Spoon, music by Bottom Line, door prizes, and more.
