Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia is registered with The Virginia Office of Consumer Affairs, and is a member of both Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce and Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Welcome to the 2018 Annual Report! With this Annual Report, you will see a number of new changes as we transition to “Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia.” We have a new name, new logo, new website and new staff titles. But most importantly, we will still be doing the same great work throughout our expansive region, from the greater Roanoke Valley through our southern communities of Martinsville, Henry County and Patrick County up to the Alleghany Highlands and out to many counties further west. In each hometown or city, there are so many wonderful and generous people who have played such vital roles in getting your Community Foundation to its current size and strength, and we deeply appreciate your continued involvement and support! Change can be intimidating and even frightening. Often, our first inclination is resist it, but change almost always provides opportunities to learn new things, to rethink processes and to improve the way we work. Paraphrasing the “sailing” maxim written by poet William A. Ward, the pessimist complains about the wind direction; the optimist expects the wind to change; while the realist adjusts and changes the sails to find the most effective and efficient route going forward. Community Foundation Serving Western Virginia has now set the mainsail and is full speed ahead on the next leg of our journey. We will always remember, be grateful for and pay homage to the early legs of this trip. They are what shaped us, nourished us, built us and now securely positioned us to serve the philanthropic intentions and goals of our donors and meet the most important needs and opportunities of our many communities. So, grab your sunglasses and sunscreen and join us on board a very familiar vessel with the same leadership and sterling reputation but with a new name stenciled across the bow. We cannot wait for the many wonderful collective experiences over the coming generations! Alan E. Ronk President & CEO ANNUAL REPORT 2018 | 3 INFINITY ACRES 4 | COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SERVING WESTERN VIRGINIA ANNUAL REPORT 2018 | 5 Infinity Acres photos by Kenny Webster Photography. 6 | COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SERVING WESTERN VIRGINIA “Animals are such agreeable friends — they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.” – George Eliot INFINITY ACRES JOY IS…. being nose to nose with a llama. Sounds like a slogan for a T-shirt, right? Well, here in Ridgeway, there is a gem of a place called Infinity Acres Ranch where exotic and domestic animals regularly bring the love to adults with disabilities, veterans, children and others. The Ranch runs a variety of important and beneficial programs. In addition to its vital interactional support programs for the constituencies noted above, including its Enriching Nurturing Animal Based Learning Experiences (ENABLE) program, there are educational school field trips, Llama 4-H, a summer camp, a petting zoo, and numerous other programs for the entire community. Some years ago, the nonprofit’s founders wanted to open up their 62-acre farm and share their passion for connecting animals and humans. They have long known of the incredible healing that comes out of the special bond between a person who is hurting emotionally or has learning challenges and a calming, non-judgmental, loving animal. Studies have even shown that such bonds can play a role in reducing blood pressure, elevating our mood and even increasing serotonin levels. But, trust me, you don’t need to read any scientific treatises on the subject to be convinced. Just volunteer your time at or visit Infinity Acres and see firsthand the incredible success stories regularly playing out there. The Community Foundation did, and we immediately knew we had to support their work and all those incredible llamas, and alpacas, and the coatimundi and the sugar glider and… the whole menagerie. See you soon at the Ranch! MORE THAN THE E.N.A.B.L.E.

Your days of causing pain to our region’s most vulnerable are numbered now that Feeding America Southwest Virginia’s new Community Solutions Center is up and running! Yes, Hunger, your newest adversary is here. You’re now up against a collaboration among several partners including FASWVA, Roanoke Police, Goodwill Industries of the Valleys and Northwest Roanoke community leaders. The Center will house several program areas including a fresh foods market, an outreach space for Roanoke Police, a community room for meetings and workshops, and perhaps most importantly, a production and training kitchen. The kitchen is being used to prepare up to 500 fresh meals daily for the food bank’s “Café to Grow” children’s food truck. Additionally, the kitchen hosts culinary job training courses, with the expectation to prepare up to 40 students annually for a career in the food industry. So, Hunger, when you try to show your face around the neighborhood, you’re going to have Shaqueena and Charles and Althea and all the rest of the Center’s culinary students and the support of the Community Foundation standing in your way!

We have learned detailed information about our region’s strengths and weaknesses. We have studied service organizations, businesses, and local, commonwealth, and federal programs to really understand what’s available in the Roanoke Region. We have asked “what does the future hold for the Roanoke Valley of Virginia” and “how can we ensure a strong quality of life in our communities?” The Partnership for a Livable Roanoke Valley is an initiative of seven local governments and more than 60 organizations in the Roanoke Valley. The initiative seeks to promote economic opportunity and a greater quality of life for all Roanoke Valley residents through the development of the area’s first regional plan for livability.

Odell (Fuzzy) Minnix Harry Nickens Planning Commission: Martha Hooker, Chair Kyle Robinson, Jr. Todd Ross Al Thomason Don Witt Acknowledgments Thanks are due to the many citizens of Roanoke County who participated in this long-range planning process and contributed to the development of the 1998 Community Plan. Without their support, assistance, ideas, visions and recommendations this Plan could not have been accomplished. Special thanks are due to the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, Neighborhood Councils, Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Think globally, act locally. --Rene Dubois The concept of the public welfare is broad and inclusive. The values it represents are spiritual as well as physical, aesthetic as well as monetary.

THE 1992 ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA: A STATUS QUO STATE IN THE YEAR OF CHANGE Larry J. Sabato University of Virginia THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The 1992 election, full of upheaval and transformation around the country, was more traditional in the Old Dominion. While the nation was ousting White House incumbent George Bush, Virginia voted to reelect him by a percentage that was Bush's sixth-best of the 50 states. 1 And in a year when many scandal­ tainted congressional incumbents stepped aside, voluntarily or through defeat, the only changes in Virginia's U. S. House line-up were forced by redistricting and one age-related retire­ ment. Much as in 1976, when southern Democrat Jimmy Carter won the presidency, Virginia resisted both regionalism and the call for change-and this time the Commonwealth was joined by most other states of the South.
