At a joint meeting last week, the Rockbridge County School Board presented their updated capital improvements plan to the Board of Supervisors.

Several members of the Mountain Gateway Community College Educational Foundation Board gathered for a photo in their Western attire at the “Bubbles, Bands and Brunch” fundraising event – the theme was “Stampede!”-- held at MGCC Oct. 8. Pictured are (from left) Helen Kostel of Clifton Forge; Deborah and William Weddle, and Mark and Elaine Nelson, all of Lexington (the Nelsons were also recognized as “Partners” for their contribution to the event); and Susan and Mike Friski, also of Lexington. Since 2003, “Bubbles,” which was brought back this fall after a hiatus of four years, has raised more than $70,000 in scholarships for continuing students.
