Noble Nuptials
When Ann Kingston and her new husband, John, got married, they decided to add a different spin to their bridal registry by including donations to Appalachian Voices as part of their gift options. Thanks to their generous gesture, and to their friends and family, the inventive pair collected a total of $695 for the organization! We send our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the happy couple, who helped save mountains and communities through their selfless act of love
