Tim Tolson is on the show to today to talk about the Crozet Community Association (CCA). 

The CCA was incorporated in February 1985 by a group of local Crozet residents who saw the need to work together to protect, preserve, and enhance our Crozet community and establish a forum where all are welcome.

We also talk about the Downtown Crozet Initiative and the old Acme Visible Facility lots as well as the motorcyling to Alaska.

I appreciate Tim coming on and talking about the CCA, its history, contributions and the way ahead. 

Find more out at:  https://cca.avenue.org

The next CCA meeting is Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 7:30 PM at the Crozet Park community building.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
Annual dues are just $10.00!

Enjoy the show. - Brad
