FLS: Heading toward the railroad tracks on Princess Anne Street today, you see an odd assortment of buildings. The 600 block evokes a style you might call municipal bland, while the 500 block consists of orphaned historic structures flanking parking lots. But the randomness belies the storied past of the downtown Fredericksburg street.

The Department of Economic Development & Tourism honored Dynovis during Business Appreciation month. The 2019 theme is inspired by "Businesses who give Back!" Dynovis Communications Director Christine Repp and her husband, CEO Brad Repp, are longtime supporters of The Community Foundation (@community_found) and our community. Chris served on the Foundation's Board of Governors from 2012 to 2018. She is one of three board members asked to serve as president for two terms. During the Foundation's The Community Give 24-hour day of giving event in 2014, 2015 and 2016, Chris' leadership and many volunteer hours were essential to the event's success. When her 6-year term on The Community Foundation board ended, Chris agreed to serve as president of the board of The Women and Girls Fund of the Community Foundation. Her vision and leadership were responsible for a dynamic new fund advisory committee structure, the fund's most successful community event (1000 Women @1000.women), and the addition of more than 80 new members to the fund. Dynovis has supported the community both through Foundation event sponsorship and annual mission support. We thank Dynovis for its investment in our City and giving back to our community!
