Richard (Dick) G. Tami established his periodontal practice in Virginia in 1977 and remained active in the community. His work included membership in the Woodbridge Rotary Club, where he enlisted help from Nick Carosi of Arban & Carosi pre-cast concrete company and from the Board of County Supervisors, especially Supervisor Hilda Barg, to build the "Welcome to Woodbridge" sign and place it along the northern end of the Route 1 corridor. He also solicited other organizations to participate in the project by placing their logos on the sign. From 2008 to 2009, his next project brought public attention to the need for a universal baseball field in Prince William County that would provide a safe field for children who are physically and mentally challenged. Through his efforts, the field was built, and approximately 60 children use it annually along with the Wounded Warriors.
