.....My marketing students at Menchville High School are working on a project building a marketing plan for historic Hilton Village merchants and the neighborhood. It's an educational experience and no money whatsoever is involved. The village is very appreciative and supportive of the kids. In doing the plan they are developing a very extensive official website for HHV. They have done a ton of research and found some interesting things on your site.....

In developing the Hilton Village site, we are looking for "memories". Maybe you and others could share your memories of Hilton.
The students will have a memories link. You guys have an awesome website. We have all enjoyed going through it.

Keep up the great work.

Anyone who would like to come see the results of the Hilton Village website unveiling is invited to attend - Thursday, April 19th, 2007
at 1:30 PM in the auditorium of Hilton Elementary School on River Road and Main Street. We'd love to have you all.
