Kathy Gilliam, Youth Coordinator (left), and volunteers from the Central Shenandoah Valley Office on Youth washed and detailed the NRCS/RC&D Van and an NRCS truck on July 19, 2010.  Great job!  Look at it shine!!!

 

Blake Cormier - Blake graduated in 2009 from a high school here in the Shenandoah Valley.  He loves computers and software.  Blake has a wide variety of experience in the technical field.  He designs, builds, and maintains websites.  If fact, he gave me a lot of pointers on this website.  He is an Information Technology Specialist (ITS) at OFM Computer Systems, Inc. in Charlottesville, Virginia.  He also volunteers as a minister with a local American Sign Language (ASL) group in Staunton, Virginia.  On August 19, Blake will go to Brooklyn, New York and volunteer at the Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses as a minister.  He will continue to hone his skills in ASL.  As an Earth Team volunteer, Blake is our "technical advisor".  He has installed software on our laptop computer and updates it for virus protection periodically.  He has taught us how to use our PDA and digital camcorder.  He is a great addition to our Team.

 

Kristen Cormier - Kristen is a senior at a high school here in the Shenandoah Valley.  She has a love of animals and the environment.  Her interests include drawing, painting, scrap booking, card making, photography, and crafts.  Kristen writes her own songs, plays the guitar and piano, and sings.  She belongs to the Earth Watch and French Clubs at school.  She is interested in pursuing hairdressing and the ministry in ASL as a career.  As an Earth Team volunteer, Kristen has helped out in the RC&D office in the summer.  She is an excellent addition to our Team.
