We got to learn a bit about United Bank as President and CEO of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce Tina Combs and I spoke to the bank's Marketing Director John Flaherty. It sounded like they are serious about being an active part of the community. Learn more at www.unitedbank-wv.com/ and of course www.berkeleycounty.org

Nice to catch up on the Eastern Panhandle Free Clinic with Executive Director Michelle Goldman. We also got to meet their very qualified Development Director Vicki Shean. She will have a chance to really work with the people benefiting from their services! Taste of the Town coming up in October! http://www.wvepfc.com/j/

There's still time to catch the 2012 Season of the Contemporary American Theater Festival. James McNeel gave us a nice picture of how the season has gone. Attendance is good, but can always be better. Get tickets now at www.catf.org

And some serious questions after the shooting at a movie theater in Colorado. The conversation about gun control has again moved to the forefront of political conversation around the country. Art Thomm with the West Virginia Citizen's Defense League took time out of a vacation to defend fire arms as a constitutional right.
