Things That Feed My Soul

One thing that is incredibly important to me is to give. To give of my time, energy and talents to my community whether that be local or world.

I have several projects I am working on. If you can somehow help guide, inspire or give resources to help, please let me know. Both of these are very much in start up but have good momentum.

Tackling Hunger and Nutrition at Smith Mountain Lake is a project of the Smith Mountain Lake Rotary in partnership with Lake Christian Ministries. During the next several years clients of Lake Christian Ministries will be provided with fruits and vegetables purchased by Rotary or donated by the community. The goal is to make their meals more nutricious and balanced.

The community is and will be involved with a community garden, growing bucket tomatoe plants, planting an extra row and donating surplus from family gardens. Master Gardener Groups, Booker T. Washington National Park staff and facility, local garden groups, farmers, local groceries, Rotarians, volunteers from LCM and local church groups are already helping and this project is already provding food for about 25o families. Hoping that by summer and with the garden and donations we can provide for all 450 currently served by LCM.

Working on a grant and other funding to put  in a 1 mile community fitness/walking trail on 40 acres in Goodview at the Elementary School.
