News : Celebrating 150 Years of the Vinton Community with 150 Women

Names still being accepted as part of the 150 Women project. As we prepare to celebrate Vinton’s 150 years, plans have been made to celebrate and honor 150 women making a difference in the Vinton area. We are asking for your help in identifying these special women of our past and present day. We are almost half way to our goal! We still need your help! Perhaps someone you knew or heard about in the past. Perhaps someone who impacted you or your family in a special way. Perhaps, someone, you worked with or worked for. Please help by making plans to submit historical as well as current women that have influenced our 150 years. No contribution is too small to be considered. Working on these plans are Nancy Beckman, Roxanne Ervin, Therese Foth, Ann Harrison, Ashley Hesson, Roxanne Higgins, Martha Long, Connie Ogier, and Melissa Schwan. Submission forms are available at the Vinton Public Library, the Vinton Unlimited office and online at www.vinton150.org. Submission forms will be collected through March. Mark your calendars for August 17-24, 2019 for a celebration of all that Vinton is, all we have accomplished and all that is yet to come. A full schedule of events to be released at a later date. Contact Melissa at the Vinton Unlimited office with questions.
