Synergeo Community Dinner
Hi everyone-
On Monday APRIL 21ST will be another community dinner @6pm. They
are now every 3rd Monday of the month. A lot of people didn’t get our
newsletter, don’t know what SynerGeo is, or aren’t on this group so
they don’t know about it. So we want your help to spread the word.
Please tell any O.Hill residents about it and remind them to join
us!!!
If anyone is new to the group or knowing about SynerGeo, I’ll do
a quick recap. We are a small non-profit at the corner of S. Laurel
and Albemarle street(we’re located at 349 S. Laurel) that runs after
school art programs for K-5th graders and we recently started a teen
center on Wednesday nights from 5:30-7:30pm and run multiple other
outreach programs.
So please join us on Monday April 21st for our dinner @6pm. Bring a
dish, dessert or side dish if you can and we look forward to having
you.
*******Also just to throw this out there, we still have spaces
available for our SUMMER ART CAMP!! It is July 28-Aug 1 and Aug 4-8th
each day from 9am til noon. It’s free and kids can come for one week
or both.*****
Have a wonderful day!

Come and celebrate our BHM Appalachia Spring Family Festival on Saturday, April 12.
Our new spring festival brings both familiar and unexplored opportunities for family fun in honor of a new season, the Byrd House Market hosts the Appalachian Spring Family Festival, a care-free and inspired day of getting outside to celebrate the creative opportunities blossoming all around. This Saturday, April 12.
Nearly two dozen vendors, farmers, artists, food vendors and craftsmen will showcase the best of Virginia’s bounty and celebrate the return of long days and sunny skies. An event for the young and old alike, the festival has something for everyone to enjoy. Shop for fresh produce, explore local traditions, or bring an instrument and join the live music. You can even decorate a bird house to take home.
Highlighting the state’s diverse cultural history, the Center for African American Genealogical Research will provide opportunities to trace your family heritage, and folk artist Anndrena Belcher will share traditional Appalachian storytelling, music, art and dance.
“Anndrena is one of our secret national treasures. More than ever is her gift as a storyteller needed today. We may have lost our tribal memory, at least for the moment. It is an artist like Anndrena Belcher who can help us recapture it.”
~ Studs Terkel
The Appalachian Spring Family Festival is Saturday, April 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the grounds of the Byrd House Market, located directly behind the William Byrd Community House, at 224 South Cherry Street in Oregon Hill.
