In talking to the region’s local government officials – specifically, the City of Roanoke, Montgomery County and the Town of Blacksburg – all have mentioned that their citizen committees are lacking young adults. They say that there are just not enough interested citizens willing to serve on boards that help shape and mold the future of local government entities.

In conversations I have had with young adults, some are interested, but they do not know where to go, what’s available, and no one has asked.

Therefore, I am asking all young adults, and all adults alike, if you are interested in serving on a local government committee, then let me know. I will get your name to the appropriate person. Local government needs your service now for the future.

The Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau has created an outstanding brochure detailing the plethora of outdoor adventures in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

This lifestyle appeals to many across the nation who are tired of living in the big city and want to experience a simpler lifestyle that this region has to offer.

Get your copy (Download OutdoorBrochure.pdf)  and send it to others you know who would like a copy in other regions. Also, I am sure the group would snail mail you a paper version of the brochure. It is worth having.
