Q&A with Chairman Wetchel and Commissioner Wyatt & TMC (Áine, Althea, & Madalyn). We had a very enriching experience learning about the Commissioners roles & responsibilities on a day to day basis along with an insiders look at some of the current projects and initiatives for Madison County.
On October 14th, 2023, Teens of Madison County partnered with Marshall Native Gardens to volunteer at the Fall Native Plants Festival and Sale at the Madison County Public Library. TMC and numerous volunteers from Madison Early College High School assisted in many aspects of the plant sale, and took tours of the Marshall Native Gardens.
The 26th Annual Bluff Mountain Festival is June 10, 2023, 10:00am – 6:00pm, and Teens of Madison County had an information and refreshment booth at the festival.... on the grounds of the Hot Springs Resort and Spa in Hot Springs, N.C.

On Tuesday, May 9th, TMC once again, attended the Madison County Board of Commissioners meeting. We heard public comment and commissioners discussion on the 12 month extension on the biomass facility moratorium and updates on county finance. It was an informative meeting and refreshing to have the earliest meeting adjournment this year, just a little afer 8pm.

TMC leverages 10 teen volunteers, 3 vehicles, and 2 adult saftey people to collect almost 30 bags of litter from
Little Pine RD.
Áine officially introduced the Madison County Board of Commissioners to Teens of Madison County. Four dedicated teens, with school & jobs the next day, stuck it out until almost 12:00 midnight when the Commissioners adjourned. But it paid off with BOC Chairman Wetchel taking the time at the end to connect with each and every TMC attendee and exchange contact information.
