In Alexandria, Virginia there are lots of organizations set up to protect and promote the interests of various groups from and to the Federal Government.  We saw the Retired Naval Officers Association and the National Association of Travel Agencies among others.  But our personal favorite was the The Institute for the Advancement of Service.

They have a web site and appear to be kind of new ageish and caring.  Here is a picture of Nurit trying to be of service to the instutite by straightening their sign.
