Eve, Inc. says thanks!

Another year, tremendous community support and a great evening. The 43rd Annual Eve Benefit Auction on August 22nd grossed over $32,000 all because of the wonderful support we received from the community, local businesses and the many individuals who attended, bid for items and had fun at the event. Local auctioneers, Charlie and Keelan McLeish, volunteered their time and once again had the crowd energized. Washington County Sheriff’s office provided a security presence, the Zonta Club of Marietta and the Environs helped to organize the Silent Auction items so that we were able to ...

Thanks for Support

I would like to thank the organizers and participants of the recent Chuck A Duck fundraiser that was held last week at MHS by the Marietta Volleyball team in my honor. I recently had a cancer diagnosis increased to Stage 4. The volleyball coaches felt that the sports community of the city schools would like to express their support.

The Constitution, use it or lose it!

There is something a foot in the Mid-Ohio Valley. People in Washington and Wood County are turning out for Democracy. Four members of Living Democracy: Engaging Citizens, a local citizens group, just finished teaching a four-week ILR (Learning in Retirement) class with 55 community members involved in learning about how the Constitution was written, how it has evolved and grown and what is happening to our Constitution today. Our hope is that these 55 citizens will go out and talk to family, friends and neighbors about the important principles in our Constitution; popular sovereignty ...
