Hi everyone!

My wife Caroline and I would like to invite folks to the William Byrd Community House for dinner and a documentary.

Vegetarian potluck is a 6pm. Please bring plates, cups and silverware to save landfill space. If you’re coming to the potluck, we’d appreciate an RSVP (John’s email is johnrichmond50@hotmail.com) – and if you know what food you’re bringing, tell us.

The documentary at 7pm is the much requested “Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes. Byron Hurt, the producer, recently appeared at VCU and showed segments of his documentary and its exploration of manhood in Hip-Hop culture.
