Between signing a few veterans bills (including a piece of legislation to extend absentee ballot deadlines) and a trip to Busch Gardens, Governor Bob McDonnell will drop by Charlottesville this evening to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Madison House. The UVA-based community service hub turns out more than 100,000 hours of free do-goodery every year.
In addition to the Governor and a few awards recipients, Madison House will also host Democratic Congressman Tom Perriello, who will introduce McDonnell. The invitation-only event takes place at the UVA Art Museum tonight at 7pm, with McDonnell scheduled to speak at 8pm.
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
