As we work to get the Blue Ridge Group active again we'd love to hear from you. What issues are important to you here (Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Watauga, and Wilkes counties) that we should be involved in? What kind of programs do you want (any suggestions for speakers we should have are greatly appreciated)? Where would you like to join us for an outing? Our email address is below if you'd like to send us a note.

We have two openings on our Executive Committee if you'd like to be even more involved.
