The results are in for our annual music festival / fundraiser Riverfest 2010, and it was a huge success! Nearly tripling last year’s proceeds, Riverfest brought in $7,746.90 which brings our two year total to over $10,000.

John Pamplin, the Chairman of the Riverfest Committee, was on hand to present the check to Jeremy Jones at the May RNA Meeting. “To put this in context,” John said, “we had about $100 in our account a little over a year ago. Today things are fundamentally different. We now have the means to raise money to support our local charities and start community marketing and beautification projects.”

The Riverfest Committee presented a list of suggestions of what to do with the funds, but the job of deciding how to spend the proceeds will rest with the Association. A new Projects Committee is being formed to undertake this task – if you would like to get involved with this new Committee, please contact our newly appointed Projects Committee Chairman Keith Sharp at 678-778-8774.

John also stated that this would be his last Riverfest, due to an upcoming out-of-state move, but he encouraged everyone to pick up where he left off. “Take this and run with it,” he said at last night’s meeting. A replacement Chairman for the Riverfest Committee will be selected soon – check back for details.
