CORPORATE CIRCLE LEVELS OF SUPPORT:
T
oday, we come to the Blue Ridge Parkway to experience America’s most visited scenic drive. 469-miles of no traffic lights, no advertisements and uninterrupted recreation through Virginia and North Carolina. As you travel the Parkway this fall take a look at the mountains, woodlands and colorful trees. Remember that, without the stewardship of FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway, its individual and Corporate Circle members, and support from funding organizations, the Blue Ridge Parkway cannot be adequately preserved, promoted or enhanced. The original plan of the Blue Ridge Parkway was to tell the proud story of
Appalachia, and to leave nature undisturbed and unchanged in its pristine state for future generations to admire and enjoy. That is also FRIENDS’ goal: to keep the original dream alive for future generations. But to do this, FRIENDS must grow! We must increase our individual and Corporate Circle membership, and we must receive additional support from sponsor organizations as investors and stewards in the Blue Ridge Parkway’s future. Some of FRIENDS’ Corporate Circle members and other support organizations are highlighted above. Their generous support is symbolized by trees, just like those brilliantly displaying their colors
on the Parkway landscape this season. FRIENDS is proud to showcase the contributions of our Corporate Circle members as well as our partner organizations that provide support. Check out the links to their organization websites on FRIENDS own website at www. BlueRidgeFRIENDS.org. As members of FRIENDS Corporate Circle, these companies, agencies, institutions and organizations are demonstrating their commitment to be good environmental citizens. They are also choosing smart and responsible ways of communicating their company’s support of FRIENDS’ mission to our multi-state base of over 9000 members.
