VCU’s Paint The Town Green on Saturday
Virginia Commonwealth University Student Government Association is sponsoring another Paint The Town Green event for this Saturday, March 26, similar to last year’s.
I could not find anything on the regular VCU site, but I did find this announcement on the alumni site:
The Rams Alumni Volunteer Network was formed last year to provide an outlet for Richmond-area alumni to collectively serve as community-service volunteers on behalf of the VCU Alumni Association and the MCV Alumni Association.
RAVN will assist the VCU Student Government Association’s Paint the Town Green project on March 26. Paint the Town Green is a SGA initiative to gather volunteers to help clean up various neighborhoods in the VCU vicinity, including the Fan, Carver, Oregon Hill and Randolph.
On April 2, RAVN members will volunteer at the Monument Avenue 10K. Our alumni will staff water station at the beginning of the race starting at 8 a.m.
Volunteers are need for both activities.
For more information about how you can get involved with RAVN or serve as a volunteer, contact Morgan McDowell (B.S.’09/H&S), director of student and young alumni engagement, at (804) 828-8191.
I will update further as more information becomes available (or maybe someone can help out by leaving a comment).

foreclosure. The goals of the recovery class are to provide support,
education and resources to help recover financially and personally; to
empower individuals to create for themselves a more secure financial
future; and to find comfort and encouragement in a peer group setting of
other individuals who have also been through this difficult time.HOME invites anyone who has recently been through or are currently in
the process of a foreclosure to see if this 4-week class is right for
them by attending one of the informational sessions on Tuesday, March 22

these information sessions or contact HOME by phone prior to the first
class on March 29.
