Check out the Make a Difference blog!

The Local Accent is a website offering a comprehensive business directory for the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula as well as local weather, obituaries, and a very inclusive community calendar of all sorts of events. They also host a number of specialty blogs. The Make a Difference blog is devoted to news from charitable and nonprofit groups in the area.

Another wonderful source of information is connectRappahannock, whose mission it is to "strengthen communities by connecting people to ideas, information, and each other." Director Cindy Balderson has been working hard to help us establish a specialty email list addressing the issue of poverty. Lindsy Gardner, Cindy, and I collected email addresses for that list at the conference and in the days following it. If you have not joined connectRappahannock as a subscriber, please do! It's very informative and interesting and it's a good way to keep up with what is going on in the Northern Neck.

We seem to making some headway on getting the word out about VISIONS and its mission, so pass the word on all these great communication and public relations tools.
