October 9, 2025 — Michael Graves – Lunenburg United Way CANCELLED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT SIGN-UPS

Lunenburg County is a wonderful place to live, work, play, and raise a family. But not everyone gets the same chance.

For the past 20 years, Michael Graves has been the Executive Director of the United Way of Lunenburg County. Working part-time, he's also worn many other hats – local business owner, 2 term municipal councilor, and community volunteer. To keep costs low, Michael chose not to run a formal office. Instead, he prefers to meet people where they are – in the community, on their terms.
