Hospital wins ad award
BLACKSBURG - Columbia Montgomery Regional Hospital received second place for a 30-second television commercial in the Advertising Federation of the Roanoke Valley's ADDY competition.
The spot, on the hospital's new birthing center, was created by Judy Tynan and Linda Comeau of the hospital's public relations department. It was produced by WDBJ television in Roanoke.
The spot automatically will be entered into a regional competition of advertisements from throughout Virginia, and North Carolina and South Carolina.
ADDY awards are chosen by judges who evaluate an advertisement's impact, relevance, focus, and whether it differentiates its client's products or services from others.
Music academy is guild member
BLACKSBURG - The Renaissance Music Academy has been accepted as a associate member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.
The Blacksburg school, founded by local pianist Teresa Ehrlich, is in its second year and its associate membership in the guild is unusual. Most schools must remain at a provisional membership level for three years before moving on to associate membership.
Renaissance was given associate membership early because of its sound business structure and organization, stability, increase in enrollment, faculty, and community support.
The membership means Renaissance will have an easier time qualifying for grants.
