Book Talk At Tredegar: Dixie’s Daughters: Shaping Culture in the American South

Discover the UDC’s work–especially its efforts to shape the worldview of young white southerners–during the organization’s heyday between 1894 and World War I.

Kids in Kayaks Kicks Off In A Week
From press release:
Nearly 100 local youth are taking to the riverfront this summer to engage in a special program offered in partnership by the National Park Service, YMCA of Greater Richmond, James River Park System, James River Association, American Civil War Museum, and The Valentine. Kids in Kayaks empowers City of Richmond youth with the knowledge of natural and cultural landscapes, provides awareness and access to resources and skill development, and builds confidence and wellness through healthy recreation and community engagement.
YOU’RE INVITED! On Wednesday, July 24, you are invited to visit Historic Tredegar at 470 Tredegar Street from 10:00 am to 11:30 am to view the programs taking place, talk to those participating and planning, and learn more about Kids in Kayaks.
Over the course of six weeks, City of Richmond middle-school students are enjoying a taste of what downtown’s riverfront has to offer. Programs include water safety courses, lessons on watershed science, and discussions about the area’s history. We invite you to come see for yourself!
“The Richmond riverfront is a vital part of the city where we can tell the stories of our nation’s history, both cultural and environmental,” said Richmond National Battlefield Park Superintendent Doyle Sapp. “This valuable partnership allows us to showcase the rich cultural and natural history Richmond has to offer while teaching kids how to safely enjoy the riverfront.”
James River Master Plan Review Tomorrow Evening
Do our voices count? I submitted my comments in a while ago. Many neighbors are suspicious given that this is partly sponsored by Venture Richmond and Dominion. Many neighbors think corporate voices may have more weight than citizens’, based on previous experiences. Still, a good time to make grassroots be heard.
Presidential Candidate Visits Tomorrow Evening
Dario Hunter, Presidential candidate and member of the Youngstown, OH Board of Education, visits Richmond, VA to talk about his plan to build a greener and fairer America as well as the strategy to grow the Green Party through the 2020 race and beyond.
He will be at the Main Richmond Public Library on Franklin Street at 6 pm tomorrow.

OHNA Meeting Tomorrow Night
From email announcement:
Dear Friends and Neighbors
Our Monthly neighborhood association meeting will be held at St Andrews Church at 7pm this Tuesday, June 25th. Really, other than our important updates, there is not much on the agenda except perhaps electing a new Vice President as our sitting VP has moved out of the neighborhood. If you are interested, come state your case.
Please stop by.
