Heart of Glass
Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

The BLENKO PROJECT Needs YOU!

Interested in VOLUNTEERING? The BLENKO PROJECT needs YOU! One of our goals was BEAUTIFICATION * of the lovely grounds at BLENKO GLASS Visitors Center. For eighteen months now several Blenko employees and a small number of Volunteers have been planting, weeding and watering the 'new' beds and plants. We could use VOLUNTEERS for July 15 - August 30th - let me know if you are available - doesn't require any 'skill' or "plant knowledge" just a willingness to hold a water hose, water and or pull the occasional weed. Perhaps 2 -3 hours MAX.
Could be a Sat or Sunday. There will be someone available to instruct the volunteer (ie where the water hose is ...etc.) Let me know if you have an interest. hjh
*Beautification - A term LADY BIRD Johnson coined - but the Editors inform me PLAGIARISM isn't an ISSUE in BLOGGING.
