She does this by maintaining a website www.blenkoproject.org and the blog http://media.herald-dispatch.com/blog/blenko/ as well working to develop an oral history of glassworkers and by speaking all over the state about Blenko and West Virginia Glass and the history of the Glass workers.

I was told we should send individual letters and I should encourage any sponsoring group example: Blenko Collectors and Blenko Glass to also send a letter to both houses. Email or snail is appropriate. Phone call are also accepted. I would encourage you to write or phone at least once. If you are not a collector don't let this stop you. You visit the blog. You come to learn about the State of WV. Take the next step and help us get this support group together. If you are a member of the Blenko Collectors Society please contact the appropriate officers about a supporting letter. If you have contacts at Blenko Glass Corp. please contact those people. My only contacts are the young ladies who sell me the glass. Thank you and thanks to Dr. Bob for sending me the information. Erik Wells (D - Kanawha)
