A meet and greet event will be held in Jefferson to officially welcome the new executive director of Jefferson Matters: A Main Street and Chamber Community.

The Thomas Jefferson Gardens Board is hosting a welcome reception for Reegan Hanigan, who started as the executive director for the merged Jefferson Matters and Jefferson Chamber entities in mid-July. The Greene County native describes what she’s quickly learned in her new position.

“The one thing that I’ve learned is that Greene County and specifically Jefferson is full of so many volunteers and people that actually make things happen. And I couldn’t be more happy to be involved in that.”

The free come-and-go event will be held at the Gardens from 3-4pm on Thursday, August 13th, right before Hot August Night, the vehicle show which will run from 4:30-7pm around the downtown square.
