Shiver In The River/Artifacts Roadshow This Saturday
Two Saturday events happening close by- the first ever “Shiver in The River” at Tredegar, which is sort of a volunteer cleanup/winter carnival/chilly dip fundraising event, and the winter edition of the ‘artifacts roadshow’ at the Virginia War Memorial, where you can bring in military objects for examination by experts.

Open High PTSA Fundraiser at Chipotle in Carytown on Tuesday
From email:
I am a parent in the Open High PTSA. We wanted to let you know that we are having an Open High PTSA fundraiser at Chipotle in Carytown on Tuesday, January 27 between 4-8pm. Anyone that wants to come and support the school will need to tell the Chipotle cashier at the time of purchase that they are there for the fundraiser.
OHNA Meeting Next Tuesday
From email:
Hello all
OHNA’s monthly meeting is Tuesday, January 27th at 7 pm at WBCH (William Byrd Community House).
Jack Berry, from Venture Richmond, will be at the meeting to discuss the proposed rezoning of the amphitheater below Oregon Hill to allow more events. This issue could potentially have a huge impact on the neighborhood in terms of more amplified noise, crowds, parking congestion, and public drinking. If you wish to have your voice heard on this issue, this IS the meeting to attend.
Also attending the meeting will be City Planning Director Mark Olinger, and City Councilman Parker Agelasto.
Thanks
Jennifer Hancock
OHNA
