Billboards Part of New Outreach, Website Campaign in Mingo County

Mingo County volunteers are working on a website, www.westvirginiafuture.org, and we have two billboards up along Rt. 119 to spread the word.

The billboards advertise our call-in number, (304) 475-2529.

Success! People are calling in and getting involved. You can call for updates on upcoming meetings. Please leave a message and someone will get back to you.
