The CFNRV has a very strong Floyd component to it - Jackie Crenshaw (past President), Ginny Gardner and I (past Treasurer) are current board members, and the CFNRV has funded and supported dozens of projects in Floyd, most recently including Reading in Floyd is Fun, the Harvest Festival, the Park celebration/fundraiser, the Historical Society, and the Humane Society. The meeting in Blacksburg with McKibben was attended by people throughout the NRV, including many Floydians. You can find out more about the CFNRV at www.cfnrv.org Warm Regards, Chris Fred – just a small correction/clarification – Bill McKibben was hosted by the Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV), not the Blacksburg Community Foundation (which does not exist).
