BYLAW INFORMATION
My name is Ashley Bond and I’m married and have four children aging 6-15. My kids and I love spending our summer at Ridgewood pool. I work in a school setting (AES) at lunch and recess with children all day helping to keep them safe and occupied. Which gives me a good sense of motivation and helps engage children of different ages. My drive and love for people is why I think I would be a good candidate for the Social Chair.
My name is Peyton Wills, proud wife to my husband Stephen, bonus mom to our 6-year-old daughter Meredith, and new mom to our baby girl who was just born in January, Hallie. Stephen and I both grew up in Christiansburg and are active members of the community. We have been members of Ridgewood for 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time and making memories at the pool these past few summers.
I am excited to be running for social chair and am confident that I should earn your vote because I have experience and LOVE planning and managing social events. Organization is also an extremely important value in my life as I have discovered that I function better when I take the extra time to ensure things are in order. In college, I assisted with planning and organizing my sorority’s social events and fundraisers. After college, I have continued to have a passion for organizing and planning events such as my wedding, birthday parties, and hosting at our home!
We are looking forward to another great summer at Ridgewood and I hope to be able to serve our pool community as social chair!
Hello! My name is Amanda Newhouse and I’m running for the Social Chair position at RWSC. Some of my best summer memories growing up are from RWSC as my mom, sister and I spent our days at the pool. I’m so grateful I can share this experience with my daughter and husband now. Event planning and management has been my passion for as long as I can remember starting in high school when I served as class President during my Junior and Senior Year planning prom and graduation activities. This has carried over to my adult life where I’ve served on the PTA for Christiansburg Primary and Elementary School during my daughter’s time at each school. I was the President of PTA at Christiansburg Primary School which involved the planning and organizing of special events and fundraising. I currently serve on the Women’s Ministry Group at Blue Ridge Church where I help plan member events. Through all these opportunities, I have managed invoice creation and payment, event planning, overseeing the events day of and everything in between. I believe this knowledge and experience will be invaluable as the Social Chair at RWSC
Hello I am Heather Durbin and I am hoping to earn your vote and represent you all as the Social Chair at Ridgewood. My husband, myself and 4 kids have been members of Ridgewood for 7 years and we love the memories we make at the pool every summer.
Fot the past 9 years I have been a volunteer as a Wish Granter with Make A Wish. With this role I have worked with local children with life threatening illnesses and their families. My job is to ensure the child's wish is granted. In this position I execute from begining to end to ensure the best experience for the child and family. This includes engaging with the community to obtain donations, creating unique surpises for the child and planning a celebration that is specific to the child's interest and ensuring all is done within budget and leaves a lasting memory for the child. I enjoy seeing the child's wish come together from start to finish and the look of pure joy on their faces at their celebrations.
I hope to be able to work with you all to bring fun events to the pool, and ensure anyone who hosts a party at the pool has an enjoyable, organized experience from beginning to end. I would love to utilize some of my expertise in executing fun events at the pool to ensure your family is left with lasting memories at Ridgewood.

I work at Floyd Department of Social Services as the CSA Coordinator and Family Service Specialist and have been there for almost eight years.
