Do you know when or how to ‘go green’? If you don’t, be aware you are not alone. Most people are confused by the overwhelming noise of ‘green’ product or service claims.

Interested in the scoop? Join me when I host special events on September 11, 2010 at the ‘Virginia GoGreen Garden Festival and more’, an event that challenges you to Keep Virginia Green and Growing, ‘become a champion for the environment’.

Now's Your Chance: Be in a Movie!

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 -- Now is your chance to become the star you always knew you could be! A movie for Lifetime Network is filming in the Richmond, Virginia area and needs extras of all sizes, shapes and ages.

Always wanted to show off your pool shark skills, or your country dance steps? Now is the time! Sports fan? Then maybe you’re the football referee, coach, linesman or water boy that we’re looking for. We’re also looking for nurses, office workers, construction workers & vehicle drivers.

For those whose talents are less than physical, people who can simply walk down the street, yell at a football game or drink a cup of coffee are needed, as well. No special talents? Then sign up anyway, and plan on having a great time being part of the making of a movie.
