The May 2014 Crozet Gazette is Out!

Crozet’s best newspaper is out! Pick one up at a local merchant and spend some money while you do. 🙂

Some highlights:

The Rutherfoord Hotel will open in Spring of 2015. — And the story/survey I wrote last year asking whether folks thought a hotel was needed in Crozet.

Real estate market update

Brownsville’s Destination Imagination Team goes to the Globals

CCAC reviewed the Barnes Lumber proposal — For a detailed account of that meeting, I highly recommend spending a few minutes reading the tweets from that CCAC meeting.

Crozet Park Master Planning Survey (I do think that “slightly” and and “moderately” are synonyms)

Add Your Own Event to the Crozet Calendar

Eventually I’ll add a widget or something to the side of the blog making finding this feature easier but in the meantime … I’ve opened up the calendar feature on the site to allow anyone to add their own events.

Add your own event to the Crozet Calendar here.

For PTO events, vineyards, Old Trail community events, music at Fardowners or Southern Way Cafe – or Starr Hill’s  tasting room – or church events or whatever. I’d love this calendar to become more of a hub for the Crozet community than it already is.

Adding an event is easy, and takes less than two minutes.

A couple tips for adding events to the Crozet calendar:

– times are in 24 hour time. (1800 = 6pm)

– Please upload a photo if you have one.

– if I’m missing a category, please let me know

– Add the date to the title! Example – Bike to School Day – 7 May 2014 – I’m hoping we can make the calendar live long enough where we have duplicate events over the years.

– Please please please don’t abuse this. Thank you.

Snack Drive at Crozet Elementary

Kids shouldn’t go hungry at any of our schools. Looking at the data and seeing emails throughout the year, all of our schools – Crozet, Brownsville, Henley and probably Western – have needs that we as a community can help solve.

via backpack mail:

Crozet Elementary School Snack Drive – April 21st through May 2nd.

Throughout the school year, CRES has worked hard to provide snacks each day to those children in need. With a couple months left, we are completely out of snacks! Please consider donating pre-packaged, nut-free snacks so our students continue to receive a snack each day.

Possible donation items include, but are not limited to:

– pretzels

– crackers

– cheese sticks

– graham crackers

– animal crackers

– gift certificates or monetary donation so CRES can purchase snacks

Donations may be sent in with your child or dropped off in the office during the Snack Drive.
