Community Guest Speaker Series

On Tuesday, March 19th the CCDC’s second Community Speaker Series will feature the Sheriff of Clarke County, Travis Sumption.  The Sheriff will give a presentation on “Keeping Our Community Safe.”  He will review the county’s crime trends and law enforcement obligations, and how he is prioritizing his department’s constrained resources to meet these challenges.  Following the Sheriff’s discussion, there will be ample time for questions from the audience. So if you have pressing questions or want to make a constructive suggestion regarding law enforcement priorities in the county, you’ll have an excellent opportunity if you come to The Sanctuary Wellness Center, in Berryville, to hear the Sheriff’s presentation.  Start time will be 7:00 pm.   

Upcoming concert

At the invitation of the Clarke County Dems, the jazz group Collaboration will be playing their fantastic music at the Barns of Rose Hill in a free evening of fun.  And you have advance notice.  If you love jazz and R&B, reserve your seats now either by calling the Barns or going through their website.  

Collaboration is one of the most experienced performing jazz groups in DC.  If you are looking for that tired, whiny sax sound that inflates today’s smooth jazz scene, best not come to the Barns of Rose Hill on May 25th.

But if you are looking for a “sexy” and supple sound that puts “soul” back into jazz, then Collaboration will be your thing.  With an eclectic repertoire of jazz, R&B, popular, traditional and inspirational music, the group’s “wow” factor is amazing.

For Collaboration, their music is the co-creation of effective communication in the pursuit of shared leadership.  The group’s performance on May 25th will also showcase a creative interaction with the audience.  In addition to creating a soulful experience, Collaboration hopes that their performance will inspire the audience to reflect that collaboration among all groups that are committed to the greater good is more vital than ever.

Collaboration has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in America’s music industry, including Lalah Hathaway, Phil Perry, Johnnie Gill, Peabo Bryson, the Manhattans, Betty Carter, Stanley Turrentine, War, the Delphonics and the late, great Phyllis Hyman.  They awed audiences at the 1997 Democratic Convention, the Presidential Inaugural Balls for Bill Clinton (1997) and Barack Obama (2008), The Capital City Jazz Festival and The Jazz Company at Walt Disney World.  They have served as the backup band for singers Patty Labelle, Eric Benet and Miles Jaye.

Reserve your seats promptly for Collaboration’s May 25th performance at the Barns of Rose Hill, by either calling (540) 955-2004 or going  to their website

In 2004 he relocated to Charlottesville to start a new business doing historic remodeling. He still holds a current contractors license.
