9 comments • Debbie Malone, Realtor Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake VA • November 08 2009 07:19AMRed Shirt Friday is one way ordinary Americans can show unity and support for the military personnel who have served or are currently serving our country. Soldiers have sacrificed their personal freedom, safety, comfort, time with their families and many have given their lives so we might enjoy ours.
Take the opportunity at the mall, the grocery store or at the airport and say thank you to a soldier.
The Soldier: - By Charles M. Province
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
If you can read this message thank a teacher,
If you are reading it in English of your own free will THANK A SOLDIER!
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
To all the brave men and women who have dedicated or given their lives
to protect this country and its freedoms:
Thank you.
Wear Red on Friday and show your Support for our Troops locally at Monument Terrace every Friday at noon with Red Shirt Friday

Wondering if there's anything to do in Downtown Lynchburg? We spent another fun evening at The Grand Ballroom in Lynchburg on Friday night. The Steve Freeman Band played starting at 7pm. The crowd enjoyed great food and dancing to great music:
If you'd like to enjoy an evening out at The Grand Ballroom YOU’LL HAVE TO HURRY.
The Grand Ballroom is booked solid in April for wedding receptions and graduations so these Friday night events are limited. The Grand can accommodate over 300 people and include food, entertainment and transportation services. They offer complete special event and wedding packages with personalized services.

4 comments • Debbie Malone, Realtor Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake VA • February 25 2009 04:49PMI was invited to join the Lynchburg Jazz group on facebook where they've created a dinner event in downtown Lynchburg. Every Friday between 7-11pm- you can enjoy dinner and live music in The Grand Ballroom (Your Jazz & Blues place! Live artists every Friday night. Flavorful homestyle meals with refreshing wines and beers) . My husband and I decided we had to check it out this past Friday night. The Grand Ballroom is located at 742 Commerce Street in Downtown Lynchburg.
The Grand Ballroom is a venue for wedding receptions. They also host reunions, graduations, social events and corporate events.
This building is a great example of the restoration efforts in downtown Lynchburg. The Grand Ballroom’s interior columns are decorated with white lights, and the tables were dressed in white tablecloths with large hurricane candles. The interior is beautiful and elegant, with high ceilings and a gorgeous center staircase.
For $25 (A COUPLE), we were treated to a delicious buffet dinner consisting of BBQ Chicken, Ham, two side veggies, potato salad and rolls (feel free to go back to the buffet too!) and dessert. There is a bar available for soft drinks, wine and beer.
The live music started at 7pm and was provided by Splaaat. They were excellent and played a variety of jazz and blues. The low lighting and candlelight provided the perfect atmosphere; it was wonderful (and accounts for my dim photo's).

7 comments • Debbie Malone, Realtor Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake VA • February 23 2009 12:31PMWhat a great turnout for the debut of Salsa Nights at the Dance Theatre of Lynchburg! After a successful demonstration of Salsa dancing at Liberty University's Multicultural Awards Banquet at the Holiday Inn Select,
the doors opened at 9pm for lessons in Salsa dancing at the Dance Theatre. This is a beautifully restored building on Commerce Street and I can't think of a better location, right next to The Mezzanine Cafe. It's refreshing to see these downtown businesses packed on a Friday night.
Salsa is a part of the cultural heritage of many countries and I think it's a wonderful skill that is being taught thanks to the leadership of Eddie Reyes. If I was ever going to feel comfortable with my daughter being out late on a weekend, it's on a Friday night. These gentlemen even walk her to her car. For more information on lessons, contact Salsa Nights.
Megan and Antonio along with many others will help teach you the basics of Salsa.
If you're a college student looking for a fun, wholesome activity, check out Salsa Nights now held at the Dance Theatre of Lynchburg, 722 Commerce Street. $3 in advance, $4 at the door. Parents, there are theatre seats for us to sit in and watch the lessons too. You may pick up a few moves!
