Blue Ridge Fest Selects Meyer Center as Funding Recipient RAFFLE TICKETS FOR 2008 HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE AND 2008 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE AVAILABLE Begun in 1998, Blue Ridge Fest is organized by employees of Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative. "Giving back to those who most need help" and the festival being organized solely by employee volunteers "are what make Blue Ridge Fest unique among sister festivals," according to Blue Ridge President and CEO Charles Dalton. "Through the volunteer efforts of employees and the generosity of our sponsors, the festival has donated $535,000 over the last nine years to agencies in the four-county area served by the cooperative." The Meyer Center is grateful to be selected as a funding recipient for 2008. This year's festival will offer the opportunity to win a 2008 Harley-Davidson FATBOY motorcycle (donated by Harley-Davidson of Greenville) and a new 2008 Ford Mustang GT premium convertible (donated by Edwards Auto Sales of Walhalla). Tickets for the raffle may be purchased at the Meyer Center or by phone using your credit card. Please contact Barbara Martin at the Meyer Center, 250-0005, Ext. 208, for more information. You Can Help a Child to HearTopping the Center's wish list is equipment for the "Therapeutic Listening" program. The program uses specially altered CD's to help children with listening difficulties and sensory processing delays. We currently have four children using this program, but many more could benefit if additional equipment was available. Each tape costs about $40 and a pair of headphones, $120. If you would like to donate any amount toward this need, it would be greatly appreciated. Donations in honor of a friend or loved one will be acknowledged with a special card. If you would like more information, contact the Occupational Therapy Department at 250-0005, Ext. 213, or Ext. 210.
