The Big Event 

In our third year, Longwood's Big Event 2011 has a goal of 100 service projects with 1,000 students participating. The event takes place on Saturday, March 26th, and students will arrive at job sites around 10:00 am. Jobs typically include cleaning windows, painting, yard work, or general trash pickup at the location. Once a job request is submitted, Big Event committee members will then contact you to set up a time to meet and survey the site. This is in order to ensure that we know what tools are provided, what needs to be supplied, and that it is a safe working condition. If there is a project you would like for Longwood students to complete, please let us know! Additionally, please understand that we are requesting that job sites are within a 10 mile radius from campus as this event continues to grow exponentially, and transportation for students is limited.

 

For more information, or to submit a job request, check out our website at www.longwoodbigevent.org , or email us at  longwoodbigevent@gmail.com.  Members of the Big Event Executive board are more than willing to answer any questions or address concerns.  I have also attached a Word document of the Job Request Form.  Feel free to either fill it out online and email it to the address above, or mail it to:

 

         Longwood Big Event, 201 High Street Box # 2958, Farmville, VA. 23909

 

Thank you so much for your time.  We look forward to working with you!

Leadership Farmville


Leadership Farmville
The 2010-2011 Leadership Farmville class visited the Virginia General Assembly on Wednesday, February 16th. While there, they met with Virginia Senator Frank Ruff and Virginia Delegate Watkins Abbitt, Jr. and sat in on Delegate James Edmunds' Agriculture Committee meeting. Afterwards, they toured the Virginia Capitol and grounds and were recognized from the floor of the Virginia Senate. Above, the class is pictured in front of the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial. Leadership Farmville is a program of the Farmville Area Chamber of Commerce.
