Bake Sale for Jesse from Great Valu
From a reader: There will be another bake sale to benefit Jesse McDaniel, the wine manager and all-around great guy at Great Valu. … Great Valu has been raising money through donation jars at the registers and one bake sale already, but community members are organizing additional ones. I have a flyer available with the full details, so if you email me back I can send it to you so it can be posted on the site (or you can just copy and paste the info). I am asking for donations of baked goods for this Sunday’s sale, which will be held 1 to 5 pm in front of the store.
A Pothole and a Speed Reminder in Crozet
Pothole in front of Cocina del Sol on Crozet Avenue … think this can get fixed before an axle is broken? Be careful going through the “school district” – just before Field School and Crozet Elementary there’s a nifty reminder. And just because I think it’s cool that Google’s Street View is in Crozet: View Larger Map

http://bit.ly/9YUCEk # crozet # Just got the word – every Monday in March, Spudnuts will be delivered to Trailside Coffee! … Thinking about going to King Family later http://bit.ly/cHhoh0 # crozet # @ caseyliss The tunnel may still be closed – http://bit.ly/3IUIh in reply to caseyliss # @ andreasarate The business yes, but the service is what confounds me. But as someone else said, detailing could be the new luxury in reply to andreasarate # This seems to be a service better suited for startup in a non-recession. But I don’t know the auto-detailing-market. http://bit.ly/9yVE2v # Seems there’s a property tax/school discussion going on here at Trailside Coffee.
Crozet Gazette says – Don’t Raise the Tax Rate
The fact is most everybody is worth a lot less today than two years ago and the loss is not imaginary or inconsequential, regardless of whether government tells you that four percent is an accurate adjustment to your balance sheet facts. The government needs to tighten up, too, and to be realistic, probably more than it is willing to think about without even more citizen pressure.
2007 Was a Good Year for King Family’s Meritage
From King Family’s email newsletter: The Governor’s Cup Wine Competition, held January 23, 2010, received over 200 entries. Of those entries, only 15 wines received gold medals. Our 2007 Meritage was picked as the best of the gold medals, taking home the prestigious Governor’s Cup award.
…McDonnell presented the 2010 Governor’s Cup on Friday to King Family Vineyards of Crozet, near Charlottesville, for its 2007 Meritage.
…A contest such as this is valuable as a snapshot of how Virginia’s industry and individual wineries are doing, and the gold-medal list contained some surprises.

Crozet Twitter Updates – Brief Notes for 2010-02-28
@tfjtolson Thank you Tim for the detailed response. What am I missing here? http://bit.ly/cVh41p in reply to tfjtolson # RT @tfjtolson: RT @realcrozetva: Raises at the Albemarle County libraries? NOT! For the rest of the story see: http://bit.ly/9ERFdL #Crozet # 16 minutes from downtown Crozet …
It is Incumbent Upon US to Read the Albemarle County Budget
“It is important for me to state very clearly that while the library is recommended for a reduction in this budget the County has not proposed and indeed would not support the closure of any branches, including those in Scottsville or Crozet. It is not our desire to recommend reductions to any of our valuable community agencies, but we do so out of necessity only after we have very aggressively reduced our own department expenditures to the point where core services must now be preserved. … In fact, in FY08/09 when the County was experiencing declines in revenues related to the economic downturn and responded by freezing/ eliminating county staff positions and reducing operating budgets, community agencies received an average increase of 4% in funding.
…I think a good business opportunity would be for some enterprising (team of) individual(s) to offer babysitting services in a central location ( Cville Coffee ? 🙂 ) so that parents can attend the public hearing.
