When I meet with prospective buyers within THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN, they want to know how they can easily become involved in and become an integral part of the broader community of our historic hometown and surrounding small towns.
Obviously, becoming involved in a church of your faith is an excellent way to get to know a group of people with whom you will share core values.
Another favorite way is to volunteer with the many non-profits that exist in this servant-heart atmosphere around this Blue Ridge Parkway area.
One of my favorites is The Appalachian Therapeutic Riding Center located about 10 minutes from your cabin or mountain home within The Cove at Celo Mountain. It is pure joy to witness the rider and volunteers interacting with the uncanny ability of the horse to transcend physical, emotional, mental, or psychological limitations or traumas. Enjoy Part I of a video of some of these people below. Part II can be accessed by clicking on the link listed below the video. A list of some of the area non-profits follow. Some may be an extension of work you have done in your own hometown.
Join with us in this rewarding work of community. Help support this worthy non-profit at the Kentucky Derby Celebration May 7, 2011 at the Burnsville Town Center. Big screen projection of the actual race, gourmet dinner, live music and dancing, Player's Corner games and locally handcrafted work and other fine prizes. Call(828) 675-5814 for tickets.
