Thankful for the wi-fi at Crozet Library – it made tweeting from my computer possible vs tweeting from my phone. 🙂

Crozet Angel Tree 2014

Last year’s Angel Tree was a great success. This year, there are still people in need. Lisa Ebanks writes (bolding mine):

“Each Christmas season the counselors at Crozet Elementary, Brownsville and Henley partner with Crozet Baptist church to provide warm clothing for children in need. This year there were 240 children identified, up from the 225 that our community served last year. We have been able to fulfill the needs of these families as a community working together and spreading the word. Please consider “adopting” an angel or a family of 2,3 or 4 children. This is a great teaching moment for children or an awesome team building project at a place of employment.

Please contact Lisa Ebanks at [email protected] to be matched. Let’s work as a community to keep these kids warm this holiday season.”

Interested in Riding Bicycles in Crozet?

Skyline Drive

Crozet is a great place to ride a bike.

I’ve ridden a bicycle for a couple years now, and have found group rides to be a great way to ride – for community, camaraderie, pushing each other a bit, and pastries at the end of the ride.  If you’re interested in riding for an hour each week with a few folks, please click through to the google form. If we have enough interest (and accommodating weather, maybe we’ll go next week). I promise nothing other than I’ll try to organize as best I can. I’ll put together a google group or something as we go.
