Community Building Parking Area Paved November 2018.
Initial funding for this $24,000 capital improvement was provided by a Seneca Trail Charitable Foundation Grant to the Williamsburg Community Action Group. The WCA applied additional funds received from a Modern Woodmen of America Grant and private donations to extend the paving area all the way to the road. The Williamsburg Ruritan Club donated the final $4,000 funding gap. This paved parking surface is a tremendous help for our many residents and visitors who use canes, walkers, and wheelchairs or otherwise have difficulty traversing gravel surfaces. Many thanks to our generous benefactors, with a special acknowledgement to Jack Goodman who envisioned and spearheaded this project!
Bluegrass Is Back!
The Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Deparment hosted their first annual Pig Pickin Bluegrass Festival fundraiser on the most perfect autumn evening imaginable. Three notable bands played from early evening through late darkness, inspiring some to dance and others to kick back in their portable loungers and enjoy. The food was great and the music awesome! Thank you WVFD!
Loving Our Beautiful Roadways
The Williamsburg 4H Flying Falcons and the Williamsburg Ruritan Club turned out for a fall cleaning of our scenic roadways. Bottles, cans, and debris were picked up and bagged for the dump. Many thanks to all who helped!
Kitchen Expansion Completed!
The kitchen wall in the Community Building has been moved out five feet to give much needed workspace behind the service windows. Room for more volunteeers! Thank you WCA member Jack Goodman for securing the grant and overseeing the work!
4H Paints The Town!
The Williamsburg 4-H Flying Falcons have really spruced up the place this summer! THREE Williamsburg signs have been repainted, plus the marquee framework holding one of the signs, plus their own 4-H sign. And so then someone just had to come along and paint the flagpole, too! Hope you have noticed how much brighter things are in our community center. Thank you 4-H!
Williamsburg Ruritan Club honors Jack Goodman as a 2018 Community Champion
Jack was born here and then, as a lot of young men, left home to find his way in the world. After 50 years, he and his wife, Barbara, have come back to serve the community of his youth. Being a son, brother, husband, father and grandfather of 3 and great-grandfather of 2, he has worn a lot of hats over his years.
Jack worked in the oil/petrochemical field in D. C. and Georgia and now brings his talents to help give a semblance of order to the Community Action and Ruritan Club of Williamsburg. Among the many contributions to our town, he has helped with grant writing, getting new playground equipment, working with others to reset and clean up the local cemeteries, and working with the club for the roadside clean-up, Adopt-a-highway. He helps with the monthly shooting matches, annual Easter Egg hunt, Community Fair, annual pork loin dinner, Community Christmas party, and he is also an active member in Andrew Chapel United Methodist Church.
The 2018 Williamsburg Community Fair was a great success with many thanks to all who attended and all who volunteered!
