Ice Cream Social for Park Planning on June 7
PARTNERSHIP FOR FLOYD, INC
P.O. Box 53, Floyd, VA 24091
PARK PLANNING / ICE CREAM SOCIAL - June 7, 2008
The Partnership for Floyd is hosting a planning event/ice cream social for the Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park on Saturday, June 7th, 12:00-4:00 PM at the Sun Music Hall. All community members are invited. The Floyd County Woman’s Club will be assisting with serving free ice cream to all attendees. This is a family friendly event. Everyone’s ideas are important.
The first planning event/ice cream social for the park area was held last year and great ideas for what the community wanted to see in the park area were created. The list included things like an amphitheater for music and theater events. This year the planning event will include architects from Hill Studios and Streamline Timberworks who will draw conceptual sketches of the area as community members are expressing their likes and dislikes for ideas proposed.
The Floyd Town Council has done the work to make the space available for the park; however, they would appreciate the community’s in put into making decision for the use of the park and to assist in raising the necessary funds for developing the area. The Partnership for Floyd will be spearheading the fundraising efforts. The Partnership will be holding a drawing for a handmade quilt by Thelma Via, a Hotel Floyd gift certificate, and a handcrafted tea pot by Jayne Avery. Tickets are $2.00 each or three for $5.00 and are available at the Town of Floyd office, Something to Do, Hotel Floyd, Art Under the Sun, and Bell Gallery. Tax deductible donations will also be accepted for this important community purpose. The drawing for the raffle will be held at 4:00 at the ice cream social & park planning event. The Partnership for Floyd received a $500 grant from the Community Foundation of the New River Valley to assist with the costs of this event.

Celebrate Earth Day in Floyd - April 19
Local Earth Day Event in PlanningSince its inception in 1970, Earth Day has been an annual opportunity for civic and church groups, schools and universities, municipalities and national organizations to take a fresh look at how we might work more effectively towards a healthier planet.
Come celebrate our place in the world with a focus on the topic: Water and Life in Floyd County. The April 19 event at Floyd County High School will be free and open to the public. Speakers, panelists, vendors of water and nature-care-related products as well as water, soils and geology professionals will be present. They will meet with interested county residents who want to learn how to help maintain both adequate quantity and quality of water in the county.
Opening at 9:30 AM and with sessions beginning at 10:00 a.m., four morning presentations in the auditorium will offer perspectives on water, sustainability and earth-care issues in Floyd County and the region.
Ongoing demonstrations and displays will be offered by FCHS students as well as by area agencies, organizations and enterprises. Food and snacks will be available provided by local vendors.
A panel discussion in the early afternoon will look at ways to "take home" better water and soil management practices and apply them locally now--the best way to start having a long-term earth-impact for the years ahead.
Details of event times, locations and topics will be made known in coming weeks in the Floyd Press.
Your participation is invited. Plenty of space is available at the high school for vendors of water and earth-care products and services, earth-related arts and crafts, food services and relevant stewardship and conservation information. Help is always welcomed in any way you might volunteer for the day.If you are interested in being involved in this effort sponsored by the Partnership for Floyd, please contact Jack Wall at 392-4381 or e-mail jwall@wallresidences.com as soon as possible. And put April 19 on your calendar today!
