🚨 WANT TO HELP WV FLOOD VICTIMS FROM HOME? 🚨

As West Virginia faces the aftermath of severe flooding this July, our neighbors are starting the long, hard process of cleaning up and rebuilding. The biggest asset we have right now is each other.

We need volunteers to answer calls for the Crisis Cleanup Flood Hotline!

📱 What You'll Do:
Talk directly with affected residents, listen to their needs, and log cleanup requests so local relief organizations can deploy help exactly where it’s needed most.

💻 What You Need:
-A computer
- Internet connection
- A phone (cell or landline)

🙌 How to Get Involved:

1️⃣ Get Trained: Complete a brief 20-minute training session before taking your first call: https://crisiscleanup.org/training

2️⃣ Get Registered: Email [email protected] to receive your Crisis Cleanup login instructions.

3️⃣ Claim Shifts: Sign up for the times you are available to answer calls: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094CAFAB28A7FECF8-64883805-crisis #/

Thank you for stepping up to help West Virginians when it matters most! ❤️

Time took its toll but it won’t have the final say for Clarksburg’s grand Waldo Hotel.

Completed in 1904, the Waldo Hotel took nearly 4 years to build. Commissioned by Clarksburg’s own Civil War vet, attorney, and Judge Nathan Goff, this hotel has seen it all. In addition to its original purpose (hotel) it has held throughout its life multiple businesses including restaurants and a college.

The Clarksburg History Museum is excited to see the work begin on the restoration!

163 years ago today, West Virginia became a state. Clarksburg has been here quite a bit longer (since 1785) but we prefer the years spent as the Mountain State (IYKYK) 😉
