July 15, 2020 Chamber Chatter

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTE

We are excited to tell you about Leadership Orange County.

A new program we are starting in the Fall.

Leadership Orange County is a program that brings together diverse leaders to address community needs, strengths, leadership skills and empower them to make a difference in the community.

Over an 8 month period class participants receive training on Agriculture, Industry and Economic Development, Health Care, Education, Law and Justice, and Government.

Beginning in October classes meet the first Wednesday of every month for a full day of activities and graduate in May. The fee for this program is $175.00 for Chamber members and $195.00 for non-Chamber members. Please call or email if you have any questions about our new program.

We send a big THANK YOU to WJMA and SAM FM for broadcasting the Chamber Chatter to our community!

Sincerely Yours,

Donald A. Vizi

Chamber Member Spotlight

EDWARD JONES - YVETTE RUIZ



Experience and Background

My career with Edward Jones began in 2014 because I wanted to be able to help others feel confident with their retirement goals. I was not taught about the value and importance of family wealth strategies, life insurance or retirement savings, which prompted me to teach my children and now I enjoy teaching others.

Before Edward Jones, my executive background was in insurance. I enjoy working with people who are ready to learn more about investing, begin the process of long-range planning with life insurance, long-range retirement goals and legacy and estate strategies. My passion is helping people who are ready to make an impact on their long-term strategies.

My husband and I have lived in Spotsylvania for 25 years and we are Ohio State Buckeye college football fans and enjoy cooking and entertaining. We have two sons who are serving in the military and a daughter in college.

Alayna, our branch BOA, and her husband have lived in Lake of the Woods for 16 years, and they have four children and five grandchildren. She enjoys spending time volunteering and spending time with her family and friends.

Our office serves Locust Grove and the surrounding communities and as a branch team, we enjoy being active in our communities and participating in community-based events. Our commitment is to help others by offering monthly seminars to help people become more knowledgeable about available services.

Currently, I am serving on the Orange County Chamber of Commerce board and Alayna and I are Chamber Ambassadors. We are members of the S.A.L.T Council and Toastmasters, trainers for Dementia Friend Champions and I serve with the LOW Lions Club.

Together, we welcome the opportunity to learn more about you and your financial priorities. To get a better picture of where you want to be, it starts with a conversation over coffee and getting to know more about you. Give us a call and let's visit over a cup of coffee.

Germanna Foundation Conference July 17th and 18th


I hope everyone is getting excited about our upcoming Virtual Germanna Conference July 17 and 18, 2020. We have great speakers and topics to present along with you, the audience, having the opportunity to ask questions of our experts. Our first webinar, featuring Dennis Loba, was a great success. You asked fantastic questions and a couple of real stumpers for Dennis.

I encourage you to sign up now for both days of the conference.

With this year’s conference not taking place in person, we miss the opportunity to gather together. I will truly miss seeing everyone that attends and getting to hear the personal stories of Germanna. I hope 2021 sees us gather at Germanna once more.

Germanna needs your help this year to keep growing our mission and reach.

Each year The Germanna Foundation relies on your support to keep growing and expanding. Your financial support:

keeps our archaeologists in the field maintains and expands our library holdings

allows us to put on programming to tell the story of Germanna

preserves our properties

the Visitor Center

the Siegen Forest

Fort Germanna archaeology site

Salubria

Hitt Farm property

AND put on great programs like the conference.

The conference is one of the ways we raise money to support our mission.

I understand this year is very different from past reunion/conference weekends and while we will miss the opportunity to gather together, this is an opportunity to meet and learn, and to introduce new people to the Germanna experience.

Last year we had two generous members challenge the rest of the membership to a fundraising goal. They offered to match 1:1 for every dollar up to $5000. The membership met and exceeded that challenge and we raised a total of $12,500 (including the match). This year, I would like to add my own challenge to the membership to reach a total goal of $15,000 by the end of the conference.

Germanna is reliant on the generosity of YOU, our members, to support the mission. I call on you to meet the challenge and encourage others to give to Germanna.

I look forward to seeing everyone on July 17 and 18.

Stay safe and health and I wish you the very best of the summer!

Virtual Journeys Summer Camp


Hospice of the Piedmont Offers Virtual Journeys Summer Camp

Hospice of the Piedmont is pleased to announce it will offer the seasonal Journeys Bereavement Day Camp virtually this year. Journeys Summer Camp @ Home is an

opportunity for grieving youth to meet other kids and share in some virtual fun even in the midst of sadness and processing loss. Hospice of the Piedmont grief counselors

and art therapists know that it can be healing to share feelings and experiences with others who are also experiencing grief.

Journeys Summer Camp @ Home will take place July 27 – 31 from 10 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. daily. It is open to children ages 4 – 18 and there is no cost to participate, thanks to the generous support of donors in our community. Sign up now by calling 817-6900

Space is limited.

Applications are due by July 17.

When kids sign up for virtual camp, they will receive a large box of camp supplies the week before camp. They will be asked to open one package of camp materials each day (each package will be marked for the day on which it should be opened).

Each morning of camp week, they will log into Zoom to participate in the day's activity.

During the Summer Camp @ Home, they’ll enjoy drumming, equine therapy, art therapy, music therapy and more.

The week-long virtual camp will conclude with a grand finale and a closing candle ceremony to remember loved ones.

Participants will need to have a Zoom-enabled device (phone, tablet, or other computer) and an internet connection to participate.

(Hospice of the Piedmont may be able to help in securing an enabled device for this camp – please inquire if you are in need of one in order to participate.)
