Boone County’s OVEC Team Really Taking Flight After Two Years

Organizing efforts in Boone County are really taking shape. When we began organizing in Boone County we had only about five dedicated people who agreed that business as usual simply was not working.

Since 2005, people from West Virginia have attended our local monthly meetings in either Van or Wharton. We have had as many as five counties represented at one meeting. Thanks everyone for dedicating yourselves to your communities and getting on board with OVEC to protect them.

Thanks to the OVEC board for visiting the Wharton/ Route 85 areas and getting to know some of local members who make up Boone County’s OVEC Team.

It was great for Boone County folks to meet some of the folks who work behind the scenes.
