We Heed Your Help with Feedback
Due to the COVID-19 virus and the Govenor's order not allowing large public gatherings, the Bright Leaf Hoedown will not be held this year.
We are considering a virtual/online component to assist our small business crafters, artisans and nonprofits to showcase their offerings online.
Disucssions of a 'Hoedown You Tube Channel' combined with a live streaming component via Zoom have been occuring, however, this event is for the community and we need the community's input.

What if:
- The last week of September various nonprofits are taking orders for food to be picked up at a specific location on Hoedown Saturday
- Nonprofits have a coordinated short video/engagement on You Tube or Facebook Live. Assistance on the video content could be provided
- Crafters have a video sharing their offerings, orders can be placed, or ordered online if crafter has an online store. Assistance on the video content could be provided
- Potential entertainment options could be explored, for example we are discussing the possibility of the a corn hole tournamnet being video streamed
Here is a quick survey to give us an idea if this is something the crafters/artisans, nonprofits, sponsors and general community would support.
Please respond by July 31, 2020.

Micro-Loan Recovery Program
On July 17, 2020 U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, announced that the Department's Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded a $2.2 million grant to the Piedmont Triad Regional Development Corporation to establish a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). This RLF will provide micro-loans to small businesses suffering from economic injury as a result of COVID-19 across the 12-county Piedmont Triad Region. Eligible applicants are encouraged to apply for a 5-year, non-forgivable, interest free loan ranging from $2,500 - $50,000. Loans below $10,000 may be eligible to qualify for a personal guarantee. Loan amounts above $10,000 will require additional collateral.
After much anticipation, the Micro-Loan Recovery Program is now active and can begin awarding funds. Please share this information with eligible applicants!

Life Beyond The Shadows Counseling, PLLC with Jennifer Hambright MSW, LCSW
It all began when her husband returned from the last of 5 Tours of Duty in Iraq. Jennifer Hambright realized she needed to understand what her husband had been through in service to our nation so she could help him, herself and their marriage survive. With her husband’s Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the road to recovery for the couple began; aided significantly with Jennifer enrolling into school to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Upon earning her degree, she applied and obtained her LCSWA from the NC Social Work Certification and Licensure Board, taking and passing the State exam to become fully licensed in 2018.
