Another VCU Siren Test Tomorrow

Dear Monroe Park Campus Community Advisory Group:

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 1, at noon, VCU will conduct our once-a-month emergency siren test on both the Monroe Park and MCV Campuses to ensure that the sirens are in proper working order. This test also serves to ensure that the siren batteries are fully charged. Unlike the test near the beginning of each semester which is a two-minute wail, the monthly tests consist of a one minute wail of the siren.

A reminder about text messaging and our VCU Alert Web site: text messaging is one of VCU’s primary channels for rapid communications and information. Text messages will be used for notifications about emergencies and closings and delays for inclement weather. There is no cost for enrolling. If you haven’t done so already, you may sign up for text messaging at www.vcu.edu/alert/notify. You can also subscribe on this same web page for email alerts. Emergency information also will be available on the VCU Alert Web site at www.vcu.edu/alert, which is also accessible off the VCU homepage at www.vcu.edu, and if you have signed up for them, you will receive an e-mail alert in a real emergency.

With this routine now well established, I will only e-mail the Community Advisory Group when there is any enhancement or change about which you would want to know. And please, do not hesitate to forward this email to your neighbors, to help spread the word about the siren test.

Sincerely,

SAM

SynerGeo Community Dinner Monday

Hi Everyone-
We are having our September Oregon Hill Community dinner THIS Monday
at 6pm!!!! Our doors will be open to anyone who wants to come and share
a meal with neighbors and meet our new 2008/2009. We do ask if you can
to bring something to share, even if its small or a paper good
donation. In order to keep these dinners going, we do need help from
the neighborhood! There will be music at the dinner by our new music
director, Bean Weatherford. Some of you may have seen him play at the
Byrd Farmers Market with his childrens band: The Ps and Qs. And it is
going to be his goal to find musicians in the neighborhood to play at
the upcoming dinners(which are every 3rd monday of the month!!)

We all hope to see you on Monday! Please help us by spreading the word
to friends/neighbors.
Have a great night
Katie Cowles
