Also, following the success of ‘Craft Night‘, a sequel Craft Night is planned for later next month.
Tomorrow is a “Red Wednesday”, which means trash and recycling pickup.
Please go over what can be recycled.
NOTE: CVWMA (Central Virginia Waste Management Authority) has announced that all curbside recycling must now be INSIDE the CVWMA containers with lid closed. Items beside the container or on top of it will not be collected. In fact, incorrect setouts may not be collected at all. This is new as of July 1 for all our curbside recyclers, with the exception of townhomes/condos still using small bins. (And yes, this also applies to flattened cardboard boxes.)
Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night. More CVWMA information can be found at this link:

From WRIC report:
After being buried for nearly two centuries in an unmarked grave in France, Eliza Monroe Hay — daughter of former president James Monroe — will soon be laid to rest next to her loved ones at a Richmond cemetery.
The Catholic Diocese of Richmond announced Tuesday that it’s holding a reinterment ceremony at Hollywood Cemetery, located at 412 S. Cherry St., for the daughter of America’s fifth president on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 2 p.m.
The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, located at 823 Cathedral Place, will hold mass on the same day at 11 a.m. to honor Hay.
Both events are open to the public.
