Thank You
I am so proud to be a Rockbridge County citizen. I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support shown to me in my campaign for treasurer. It’s been an incredible journey. I am excited to start this new chapter in my professional career and I’m looking forward to continuing my service in my new role. As I stressed in my campaign, I will see that all taxpayers are treated fairly and honestly. I look forward to the opportunity to work with all branches of county government and extremely excited in working as a team with our newly elected Commissioner of the Revenue. 11/14/2023 11:00 PM

An Early Turkey Day In Raphine
The Raphine Volunteer Fire Department served up approximately 260 ham and turkey meals this past Saturday night at its annual Thanksgiving dinner. Diners had the option of eating inside the fire department or taking their dinners home. This year a lot of people chose to eat their suppers at the fire department. “It was an exceptional crowd,” said Fire Chief Bruce Brooks. “It was definitely one of the biggest Thanksgiving dinners we’ve had.” (Joann Ware photos) 11/14/2023 11:00 PM
