Cindy Rinker, corporate content editor at Shentel since October 2002, was
recently named the 2004 chairman of the Woodstock, Virginia Downtown
Enhancement Committee’s Promotion Committee.  The Downtown Enhancement
group was established to find ways to revitalize downtown Woodstock.   As a
member for the past four years, Cindy has helped develop, plan and promote an
impressive list of events from Light Up Woodstock at Christmastime to a street
dance in spring, to Halloween on Court Square in October. The ultimate goal is to
create a downtown area that is lively, attractive and reflective of Woodstock’s
important historical significance to the Shenandoah Valley and the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
“It is important to preserve the beauty and history of this area for the
generations to come.”
