Williamsburg WV Community Appreciation
Kudos To You!
We can see clearly now!
New ceiling lights have been installed at the Williamsburg Community Building. The Williamsburg Community Action Group applied for and received a Hollowell grant to replace aged lighting units. The new tech lights are much brighter and use less electricity. Thank you Hollowell Foundation! Thank you WCA! Thank you Volunteers!

Williamsburg Ruritan Club Announces Stan Zahorenko As Their 2017 Fourth Quarter Williamsburg Community Champion
The Williamsburg Ruritans have honored Stan Zahorenko as a 2017 Community Champion for his many years of volunteer service in our community. Stan and his wife Debra relocated to Williamsburg in 1997. They immediately became volunteers in their church and community. Stan continued to be a salesman of office equipment, this time at Lewisburg Office Equipment, until retirement in 2008 due to medical problems. With many hours of building and re-building houses, Stan lended his expertise to the construction of the Williamsburg Community Building and later assisted in the repair of church pews used inside the building. He also designed and constructed the Andrew Chapel Methodist Church sign. Stan has worked tirelessly for community fairs, Ruritan functions, and anywhere he has been able. As the Williamsburg Ruritan Public Relations Director, Stan coordinates much advertising and Public Service Announcements for the community. Whether it is a dinner or a shooting match, chances are you have seen his posters. As a Past-President of the Williamsburg Ruritans, Stan knows how much hard work goes into being a successful volunteer! Congratulations Stan, thank you for your active support of the Williamsburg Community.

Williamsburg Ruritan Club Announces Elmer Hedrick Jr. As Their 2017 First Quarter Williamsburg Community Champion
The Williamsburg WV Ruritan Club honors Elmer Hedrick, Jr. for his many years of volunteer service. As a life-long resident of WV, Junior Hedrick (as he likes to be called by his friends, neighbors and family) joined the Ruritan Club in 1972. Junior has raised seven sons, all of whom have remained local to the community, he has 14 grandchildren and at last count 11 great-grandchildren. He is well known in the county as a dairy farmer; a past-employee of the Board of Education as a school bus driver; he worked for the State road department and also did road construction. He is too busy to retire! If you get out on the road early in the morning you might catch him driving down the road in his John Deere tractor with one of his great-grandchildren to go feed the cattle. Junior is an active member of the Andrew Chapel Methodist Church. Always willing to lend a hand, he has assisted greatly with the ongoing projects of fixing and resetting the gravestones in several of the local cemeteries. The community is privileged to have Elmer Hedrick, Jr working and sharing with us.
