AND THE AWARD GOES TO….
Our hearts continue to overflow with gratitude for being among those were recognized and received a distinguished award; the Katherine Glaize Rockwood Award for Outstanding Community Preservation. One of our guiding principles comes from Proverbs 3:5-6, ““Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” AMMD Pine Grove Project will continue to acknowledge that God has cleared paths, made new paths, and directed us along them. On September 29, 2023, we were recognized for staying on the path by Virginia’s premiere preservation organization, Preservation Virginia. We are grateful to PVA, and thankful for every milestone, goal, and objective we have met; every award achieved, and every achievement recognized; every person and organization who have joined our preservation protection, and advocacy work; every prayer or words of encouragement, and every monetary blessing from individuals, corporation, and/or grants.
