Thanks to WTKR NewsChannel 3 for its coverage of a recent student field trip that Rubin Communications Group coordinated to educate young people on the region’s future with wind energy.
Because her mother was incarcerated, Shaquita Outlaw was raised by her grandmother on Cedar Street in Suffolk, never imagining that she would eventually live directly across the road in a home of her own, thanks to her strong work ethic and Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads.

VIRGINIA BEACH — Some people refer to Wednesday as Hump Day but around Virginia Beach, many have gotten wind that it’s now referred to as WINDSday.
“We don’t get a new industry in this region very often,” Joel Rubin, CEO of Rubin Communications, said. “Here’s one that’s coming that I think we really need to understand, appreciate, take advantage of and let it really drive our culture.”

He’s on a weeklong journey to raise money for the nonprofit to install solar panels on the roof. (more…)
