This change was made with input from our followers to have the Community Townhall meetings every other month. Depending on activities concerning the proposed landfill, meetings at other dates and times may be scheduled. This will be done on a case-by-case basis as the need is determined.
Please mark your calendars with these dates.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN SESSION
Richmond was a buzz on January 10, 2024, as members of Virginia’s House of Delegates and Senators arrived in town for the beginning of the 2024 General Assembly Session. It promises to be a new experience for many with the changes from the redistricting that went into effect this year. If you have any questions about what district you are in or want to know who your delegate or senator is, the best source to obtain this information is https://lis.virginia.gov/. This is the Legislative Information System. Here you can also find information concerning the bills your elected officials are sponsoring and their current status as they are presented for review.
As usual, CCLA will monitor the bills before the general assembly and let you know of bills concerning the protection of our environment and provide you with contact information. Contacts can be in the form of in-person meetings, speaking before the committee hearing the bill, emails, or phone calls.
WEBSITE UPDATES
We are in the process of working with our media group to update and change some things on our website. The change has already been made enabling you to make comments directly on the posts under Recent Updates. We will see how this works out. Please feel free to give it a try – it will avoid you having to send an email or make a phone call.
FUNDRAISING
Members of this group are planning to meet to discuss fundraising for 2024. If you would like to be part of this group or have ideas for future events, please let us know. Always open to new ideas and offers of help.
DID YOU SEE THE BILLBOARDS IN CUMBERLAND? DO YOU FIND OUR NEW WEBSITE USER-FRIENDLY?
If you, please donate to help us defray the costs of media, advertising, building rent for meetings, and attorney fees. We depend on donations to pay these expenses and work hard at keeping them to a minimum. Trying to get the best bang for every buck. Just tap on DONATE on our website.
