    400th Anniversary of America’s First Representative Legislative Assembly Historic Jamestowne on Jamestown Island and Jamestown Settlement July 30, 2019 Welcome Elizabeth S. Kostelny, CEO of Preservation Virginia Elizabeth S. Kostelny: Governor Northam, Speaker Cox, Senator Norment, Sir David, and all of our distinguished guests, welcome to historic Jamestown. I'm Elizabeth Kostelny. I have the great honor to serve as Chief Executive Officer for Preservation Virginia. On behalf of Preservation Virginia's Board of Trustees and our Jamestown Rediscovering Foundation Board of Directors, I share our appreciation for friends and partners gathered today, and acknowledge the leadership of the administration, the general assembly, American Evolution and Jamestown/Yorktown Foundation. Our special appreciation to our partners in managing historic Jamestown: the National Park Service, tribal representatives, and members of the descendant and family societies. Today we commemorate the events that occurred on this site 400 years ago. The distinguished speakers who follow me will capture the importance of those proceedings and the direct influence still felt today. I will highlight this physical place and the persistent efforts of women who have ensured its preservation. The history embodies within these walls would have been lost if it not were the vision and dedication of women. In 1889, Mary Jeffery Galt and Cynthia Beverly Tucker Coleman founded the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, now known as Preservation Virginia. Their goal was to save and restore disappearing landscapes and buildings that embodied our colonial traditions. Successfully securing Williamsburg's Powder Magazine and Mary Washington's Fredericksburg home, the women established an organization, the first in the nation, over 130 years ago, and has saved more than 500,000 Virginia historic places.

    Monday, January 18, 2010 -126- JOURNAL OF THE SENATE MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 2010 The Senate met at 12 m. and was called to order by Lieutenant Governor William T. Bolling. The Reverend J. Kim Steinhorst, Clarksville Presbyterian Church, Clarksville, Virginia, offered the following prayer: Mr. President, members of the Senate, distinguished visitors, and guests, we gather at this moment to invoke a higher power to assist in the work done this day. With humility and honest self-reflection, for those who wish, please join me in prayer. Wise and wonder-filled Creator of the universe, we are in awe at the majesty of this great Commonwealth, its mountains and lakes, its forests and streams, its bays and beaches. Yet, we know that geography is more than land mass, it includes people too. We are mindful that just as there is diversity in terrain, there is diversity among the peoples of this state—economic diversity, social diversity, racial diversity, even religious diversity. For we are farmers and shopkeepers, bankers and manufacturers, doctors and nurses, teachers and students, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters who seek to live at peace, who seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We ask for blessings on the new administration of Governor McDonnell and Lieutenant Governor Bolling. We ask for blessings upon this august body. From the antecedents of this chamber came the men and women who fought for freedom, who stood with courage against oppression, who sacrificed for the common good of Virginia citizens. So, we ask for blessings upon each Senator; for the work that each does; for the committees on which he or she serves; for the decisions made as individuals, as representative of his or her district; and as a collective legislative body.
