The ONE Campaign is sponsoring an exclusive free screening of the HBO film Mary and Martha on Saturday, April 27th at 4:00pm in our Chapel. This film is the heroic, true story of two mothers who, after the loss of their sons, become activists and dedicate themselves to the cause of malaria prevention. The trailer can be found at bit.ly/16Lc8HE. Pizza and light refreshments will be served after the show. You can RSVP online at bit.ly/152ffwK or contact Lee Williams at 874 – 1965.
Not as important as Transportation Transportation Transportation, but still on folks’ minds…
I am not sure what’s going on, but evidently no parking on west side of Laurel Street 195 overpass tomorrow…
In contrast, this sign is more explanatory…some celebrity cook guy is coming to the Landmark tomorrow and needs parking…
But then there is this VCU news… (click for Commonwealth Times link)
Proposal Would Raise Parking Costs
Perhaps some of this will be discussed at the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association meeting tomorrow evening…or maybe the 5th District meeting on Wednesday evening…
The last speaker for the 2013 season of the Richmond Forum is a good one.
In July 1960, at the age of 26, Jane Goodall traveled from England to what is today Tanzania and bravely entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. In the more than 50 years since, she has become an international icon, a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and a tireless advocate for environmental stewardship. Dr. Goodall will take us into the world of the Gombe chimpanzees, discuss the current threats facing the planet, and share her reasons for hope in these complex times.
