From FaceBook event Flying Brick Library Housewarming:
GOOD NEWS everyone! After months,ahem, years of planning the Flying Brick Library is moving & we couldn’t be happier. After over a dozen years in a private residence in Oregon Hill we’ve decided to take the plunge & expand to a public location. We are joining forces with the fine folks at the Richmond Zine Library at Gallery 5 in Jackson Ward. Now not only can you dive into the ever growing zine collection, but now you are welcome to cozy up to the hundreds of books that the library will have on hand.
Help us celebrate, not just our new digs, but also Gallery Five’s twelve year anniversary that week. Performances by Jake Mayday & Andrew Alli will round out a very festive evening.
Thursday, April 6 at 7 PM – 10 PM

From Grace Baptist Church (Dover Road):
On March 9, Grace Baptist Church will be partnering with Oregon Hill Baptist Center to provide and serve breakfast to 40-60 people as part of the Center’s homeless ministry. Grace had this opportunity last October and it was a most rewarding experience. There is a signup sheet on the table outside the office to volunteer to provide food for the breakfast and/or serve the meal. In addition to the breakfast, Grace will be providing snack bags for the guests to take with them as they leave the Center. Please consider making a contribution by check or online (designate “Snack Bags”) to help cover the cost of items for the bags. Your contributions of food, time and monetary gifts will be appreciated.
