Free Clinic thanks its local supporters
On Sept. 19, the Lynchburg Chapter of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) sponsored a fundraising Golf Tournament at Ivy Hills Golf Course.
Click to sendAll of the proceeds from this event were designated to the Free Clinic of Central Virginia. Because of Lynchburg NAIFA’s generosity, the Free Clinic will receive almost $5,000!
Due to the extraordinary physicians, dentists, pharmacists and nurse volunteers at the clinic, the $5,000 raised will translate into the Free Clinic of Central Virginia providing more than $50,000 worth of health care services to the uninsured and underinsured in our community.
On behalf of the Free Clinic and its board of directors, we would like to thank Tom Hodges, golf chairman, and Al Baughman, president of the Lynchburg chapter of the NAIFA, and their office staffs for organizing and hosting a very successful and well run tournament. We would also like to thank the numerous participants, hole sponsors and business contributors who insured this was a fun and successful event.
Because of the current economic conditions, the Free Clinic has seen a substantial increase in our patient visits and eligibility screenings. We greatly appreciate the support of the Lynchburg Chapter of NAIFA as they recognize the importance of the medical, dental, and pharmaceutical services for those in need in our community.

A sludge question
I have but one question for Prof. David Orvos concerning his latest comments on biosolids (The News & Advance, Letters to the Editor, Sept. 18).
“Prof. Orvos, why did you choose to spread a dump truck load of Class A biosolids on your lawn instead of Class B biosolids, which is what our area farmers are receiving?”
I believe the correct answer to that question underlines the whole problem of biosolids.
There are major differences in those two classes, as you must know. I suggest for clarity’s sake, that you should spell out those differences to the local citizens so they can compare “apples to apples” or in this case, “biosolids to biosolids.”
