Nelson : RVCC Returns Grant To The Dominion Foundation

Afton / Greenfield
Nelson County, Virginia

In an email prepared for individuals who have pledged contributions in the campaign to send back the Dominion Foundation grant proceeds, Stu Mills, the Executive Director of the Rockfish Valley Community Center, announced the following:

“We are very pleased to report that RVCC has today returned the $20,000 that the Dominion Foundation had granted to us for our Green Initiative project. The check went out in this morning’s mail …

“… We would ask that you fulfill your pledge at your earliest convenience. We would like to have the funds in hand by August 1st in order that we may notify the Perry Foundation that we have fulfilled our obligation of matching their very generous challenge grant in the amount of $21,317. The sooner we have the donations in hand to show them, the sooner we will have access to these funds as well, and the sooner we will be able to start replacing the 61 windows in the main building, and having our idle geothermal heating/cooling system re-ducted and operational once again.”

Checks can be made out to RVCC with “Green Initiative” on the memo line. Credit Card payments are also accepted at the RVCC office, at the Treasure Chest ,or on the organization’s website at http://rockfishvalleycommunitycenter.memberlodge.com/donations

As a proud supporter of RVCC since we first began publishing our magazine in 2005 – then called Nelson County Life – Blue Ridge Life is eager to honor its pledge and will soon deliver a check to Mr. Mills in the amount of $1000.00.
