The Valley locals have been nothing short of amazing in stepping up and helping the J1 participants. CVR in particular deserves some praise and a reward of some kind. This is the latest from the Best of Canaan Facebook page, link:
We had a call from Canaan Valley Resort a few minutes ago and they are asking for help to find lodging for 17 to 19 J1 students. They need accommodations beginning this Saturday night through March 3rd. Canaan is looking for one or two homes to rent and/or people who are willing to take one or two of these students into your home for the winter. Many thanks to Steve Drumheller and the staff at CVR who have stepped up to help these students, offer them jobs, along with temporary lodging, food and transportation until they get settled. I am truly proud of our community and ALL the folks - both locals and vacation owners who have offered to help in any way. If you are able to help with lodging, please call Becky Auvil at CVR, 304-866-2201.
