Last week I did a post about the Prince William County, Virginia Fire Chief retiring. This lady has won national and international acclaim for her leadership development skills.

It's a pleasure to know my post had some part in recognizing the public service accomplishments of a friend. Karen … (6 comments)
Who is Mary Beth Michos you ask? She was Prince William County Fire Chief for almost 13 years before retiring in September. Chief Michos has received both national and international acclaim for the work she has done in leadership training and professionalism for our county fire department and others throughout the country as well as improving the quality and quantity of the county's fire and rescue equipment.

prince william county: Wild Turkey or Virginia Gentleman?
- 09/10/07 08:03 AM
Many people think bourbon must be made in Kentucky just as Vidalia onions must be grown in Vidalia, GA. Wrong, wrong, wrong !!! The folks in Lynchburg, TN know that, but they are not the only ones who make bourbon outside the state of Kentucky, because bourbon is also made in Fredericksburg, VA. Virginia Gentleman Bourbon is produced by the A. Smith Bowman Distillery Although the distillery is located in Fredericksburg it started producing bourbon in Northern Virginia in what is now Reston, Virginia. Adam Smith Bowman purchased a dairy farm in that section of Fairfax County in 1927, He went into … (1 comments)

There are numerous attractions to bring you to the Commonwealth in addition to the fishing. If you have never had the pleasure of enjoying our hospitality you … (10 comments)
prince william county: Promote Your Service "Organization"
- 09/04/07 03:14 AM
REALTORS have a long history of community service. However, too frequently, we don't put forth an effort to promote the organization we serve as much as we could. Obviously, we will assist the organization if we include the organization in our personal promotion. Arthur and I are both Rotarians. We belong to different clubs in order to broaden our community service. I am a member of the Rotary Club of West Springfield and Arthur is a member of the Rotary Club of Lake Ridge. Both our vehicle tags, my stationery, my primary website and my AR site have the Rotary International logo

prince william county: Twofold Virtual Tour Approach
- 08/27/07 09:22 AM
Most REALTORS provide a Virtual Tour for their listings. It has been my experience the vast majority of them are a collection of still photos uploaded to their Multiple Listing System software. I create panoramic action shots both inside and outside the home. The software I use allows me to have as many as 50 photos enabling me to add points of interest such as schools, libraries, parks, local shopping centers, pools, bus and subway stops, etc. THE TWOFOLD APPROACH IS THAT Each of my Virtual Tours has their own URL I own a domain that has a link to the … (1 comments)
