Greenway’s Melrose Trading Post is a staunch supporter of its local community. Working in tandem with Fairfax High School and Fairfax Parents and Friends Foundation, Greenway Co-Artistic Directors, Whitney Weston and Pierson Blaetz, envisioned the Trading Post as a means for the students to make a significant contribution to their own success through raising money for school programs and increasing confidence and self-esteem.
