Spotlight on Service
Marching Virginians Build a House in Memory of Ryan "Stack" Clark There is a beautiful new house on Cedar Hill Drive in Blacksburg built to help a local family achieve its dream of being a homeonwer. The house was built in loving memory of Ryan "Stack" Clark as a partnership between the Marching Virginians, the Town of Blacksburg, and the Community Housing Partners.

“RED CROSS HAD RECEIVED OVER 45 PROMISES TO COME TO THIS DRIVE FROM REPEAT DONORS. HOWEVER, LESS THAN 30 ACTUALLY REPORTED DURING THE DRIVE. RED CROSS WAS SET TO HANDLE MANY MORE DONORS THAN ACTUALLY CAME. FORTUNATELY, MANY NEW DONORS ALSO VISITED. IT'S A SHAME DONORS MAKE PROMISES THEY CANNOT KEEP!”

“This experience was quite valuable because although there were five of us working on the yard, it was a lot for us to do but we left with a sense of satisfaction and pride knowing that we took so much of the work load off of the family. The yard was so large and there was so much work to do, and 65 bags of leaves later, we left knowing that we made a difference. Both the family and the facilitators of the Big Event expressed their gratitude, especially since our club was able to help them better reach their goal.”
