Secondhand Sundays @ The Roanoke Market | Virginia is for Bloggers Hello there VA Bloggers, and friends, my name is Bekuh and I blog over at Secondhand Sundays. Secondhand Sundays is my personal blog that showcases my love of vintage, food, crafts, and the great outdoors. I live in the southwest corner of Virginia with my husband Ryan and our pup named Nellie. I’m here today to share a little bit about our recent adventures at the historic Roanoke farmer’s market. It’s important to Roanokers that you add the word historic before farmer’s market whenever you mention the downtown area, just a little tip if you ever visit, wink wink.

Nonprofit organizations fall into five main categories: Click here to view an IRS chart detailing characteristics of types of nonprofits. Again, you will note that each type is designated by the IRS Code under which it appears. The key question to ask yourself is, "Who will benefit from the activity?"

Aldous Huxley: The Mike Wallace Interview THE MIKE WALLACE INTERVIEWGuest: Aldous Huxley5/18/58 WALLACE: This is Aldous Huxley, a man haunted by a vision of hell on earth.
