Ashley Gramlich's April Update

This month consisted of a lot of research and getting to know the communities first hand, even if it meant visiting the local diners & seeing how the 'local businesses are working' of course. One of the events was just in time for Earth Day, a highway cleanup along the West Virginia Pennsylvania border with 11 other community members. One of the perks the programs is getting out there and seeing the communities involvement and interactions. We were able to attend the Hammer In at Rice's Landing and see a great historical place, the Young Foundry, and see this great piece of history captured in time. We are constantly making new contacts throughout the region which brings different ideas to the table. All of which bring a new aspect to the program.
