Message to Members of Create Huntington and Those Who Would Like to Be

Message to the Members of Create Huntington and Huntington Residents Who Would Like to Be; from Member Stacy McChesney.
--------------------
Support [for Create Huntington] is appreciated, but we NEED You Now!

Believe me, I get it. Between work, school, kids, parents and everyday life - it's hard to carve out an hour. But, if you can make one hour for yourself, you will discover new energy, meet new people and learn about things happening in our community - things you've only "wished" about.

Never been able to make it to Chat n Chew? Here's your chance. Come as you are, MONDAY evening, 5-6 p.m., in the lobby of the Frederick Hotel. Remember, it's not a meeting, so you can't possibly be "too late" - and you can leave anytime.

You see, now through Tuesday, over 400 community and business leaders are in Huntington to see what we've been up to. We need you to step up and set the example. All you have to do is smile, strike up a conversation or point someone who looks lost in the right direction - there's nothing to it. If you want to take it to the next level formally volunteer, please check in at Conference headquarters at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena, Third Ave. & 8th Street, and ask for Julie Hewett. It's nothing physical, but they do need you to direct people.

Don't miss: TODAY, public sessions, 1-4 p.m., ($39) pertaining to writing a business plan for success, green jobs, unlocking creativity and social media. Live music, Bluetrain, 4:30-6:30 p.m., lobby of the Frederick Hotel (FREE), Jamie Oliver's Kitchen is open 5-8 p.m. (FREE), Mountain Stage / five acts, including Kathy Mattea, 8 p.m. @ the Keith Albee Theater ($20).

TOMORROW: The Conference really kicks into gear and you may walk up and register. Go to http://www.facebook.com/l/257ed;www.createwv.com for a detailed agenda. After the events are over, we will return to Thursday night think tanks, EVERY THURSDAY, 5:30-7 p.m. Quality of place and change of pace begins with you. We can't do it for you, but we will meet you half way. Create Huntington!
