2009 Annual Meeting 




Robert Lazaro, Mayor of the Town of Purcellville, is holding the plaque designating the town as the 2009 Friend of the Mountains. The town won the award for having placed a conservation easement on 1271 acres of mountain property surrounding their water reservoir.  The Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains gives the award annually to that individual or organization which contributes significantly to the preservation of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
