Friends-
Im happy to announce that on Sunday, October 26th at 4 PM in
Monroe Park, The World Famous Bread and Puppet theatre will perform
for your pleasure. This company did a wonderful performance in the
same park last year and was a delight for young and old. The puppet
spectacle mixed with relevant social commentary made for a most
entertaining afternoon. There is no admission but donations are
gratefully accepted. Please mark your calendar and tell your friends.
Also, on Halloween (which is of course October 31), Lily
Lamberta’s All The Saints Theatre company will stage a wonderful
Halloween parade starting at 7 PM in Monroe Park and proceeding down
Laurel into Oregon Hill, coming back up Pine Street. This is also a
tradition not to be missed!

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
