Help Save the Crozet Library

Many of you have heard about the possibility that the Crozet library could be shut down because of budget cuts.  Jim Duncan has reported it on his Crozet real estate blog, RealCrozetVA, and his Charlottesville real estate blog, RealCentralVA.  You can read more about it The Hook, Charlottesville Newsplex, and Daily Progress.

One of the commenters on the RealCrozetVA site recommended that people concerned about the possible Crozet library closing should contact the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for the White Hall district, Ann Mallek.  Her information is as follows:

Ann H. Mallek
White Hall Supervisor
P.O. Box 207, Earlysville, Virginia 22936
Home: 434-978-1150
Email: amallek@albemarle.org

If you would like to post other ideas so Crozet citizens can voice their concerns, please post in the comments section.

Project H Design: H is for Humanitarian

Product design initiatives for Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.

Project H Design connects the power of design to the people who need it most, and the places where it can make a real and lasting difference.

We are a team of designers, architects, and builders engaging locally through partnerships with social service organizations, communities, and schools to improve the quality of life for the socially overlooked. Our five-tenet design process (There is no design without action; We design WITH, not FOR; We document, share and measure; We start locally and scale globally, We design systems, not stuff) results in simple and effective design solutions for those without access to creative capital.

Our scalable long-term initiatives focus on improving environments, services, products, and experiences for youth and K-12 education institutions in the US through systems-level design thinking and deep community engagements.

Murray Elementary is raffling off 3 tickets for the March 20th Taylor Swift show at the JPJ!

Yes T-Swift fans ( and their parents), you read that correctly: there is still a chance to get your hands on tickets to the concert of the year!

Here is the scoop:

I am the co-chair of Bingo Night at Virginia L. Murray Elementary School in Ivy.  We have three tickets to the March 20th Taylor Swift concert at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville and we are raffling off these concert tickets to benefit the Murray Elementary PTO as part of Bingo Night on Friday, Jan 29th at 6:30 pm at the school.   

Details:
- The three concert tickets together constitute the prize for the raffle.
- They are in Section 312, Row L, Seats 8,9,10.
- One raffle ticket costs $5.00.
- You do not need to be present at Bingo Night to win.
- We will not sell any more than 1000 raffle tickets, so your chances are 1/1000 or better.

If you would like to purchase raffle tickets, I will be selling them on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 from 10am to 4pm at my office: Nest Realty, 126 Garrett St., Suite E, Charlottesville.  Here is a map:

Questions? Email me any time. 
(If you use webmail, I am at ambw at comcast dot net).

So come out to Nest on Saturday and take a chance on these tickets: benefit a local school and perhaps you'll win a chance to make some lucky teen in your life extremely happy!
