RVANews.com posted a story today about a recent “Girls Rock! RVA Rock Camp held at St. Andrew’s School. An excerpt:
There were fundraising events: songs were played, poetry was slammed, and the camp grew in the minds of its makers. The desire to create far-reaching varied impacts in the lives of area girls grew as well — not only would the camp focus on music, but it would include workshops on things like self defense, mural painting, zinemaking, healthy foods, and creative writing.
Email announcement:
A group of folks from St. Andrew’s Church and the neighborhood are volunteering this coming week with the 1000 Homes for 1000 Virginians-Richmond Campaign to help folks who are chronically homeless move into housing. We’ve been “assigned” the Oregon Hill neighborhood and will be out in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Aug. 1-3). For more information, see http://1khomesrva.org/. You may also check out the recent blog post by Barbara Ambrose on the Virginia Supportive Housing Blog (NOTE – religious content):

They may still be looking for volunteers, so if you’re interested, please join us. You can register to volunteer online, though if you’re interested in joining our group of volunteers in this and surrounding neighborhoods, please let me know and we’ll get you on our list.
