Monday Jan. 19th is Martin Luther King Jr.
Day and SynerGeo's monthly
community dinner at 6pm.
We would like to encourage you to volunteer in
your community on MLK Day.
Our staff is serving at sites through out
Richmond during that day (Neighborhood Resource Center, Jewish Family
Services, ElderHomes, VCU Reads, and Maymont Elementary School Project).


To volunteer go to
www. handsongreaterrichmond. org
and sign up to help a
local non-profit if you are able.


Then come by SynerGeo at 6pm, bring a dish to share and tell us about any
volunteering you were able to do.
If you can't volunteer that day, still
come by for food and conversation.


We are located on the corner of laurel and albermarle streets.


We hope to see you.


Bonnie

Some of you may know me already, but if I haven't met you yet, my name
is Kelley Libby. I'm a graduate student who rents at The Overlook. I
guess you could say I'm a newcomer to Oregon Hill—been here about 15
months. In that time, I've come across a number of Oregon Hill
citizens, both in the public writing and out in the neighborhood, who
are tremendously faithful to Oregon Hill and who stand up for it when
it needs help.

I really admire that. I come from a rural community in Northeast
Florida that in some ways reminds me of this community. One of the
things I love best about home is that people there take the time to
sit on their porches and visit with each other. I enjoy the stories,
the news, the jokes, the sipping of sweet tea, even the pauses in
conversation. To talk with a neighbor on a porch is fellowship of the
highest sort, and at the same time, a simple, natural happening. I
love that it happens here in Oregon Hill, that I've been invited to
sit on porches with some of you all—to watch the cars go by, to listen
to the birds and the church bells, to take a break from all the going,
and to get to know you better.

If someone were to tell me that there would never be another porch
talk, ever—that all the porches on people's houses were to be
removed—I would be devastated. And I would fight, as I'm sure some of
you would. And that leads me to my question.

What is it about Oregon Hill, for you, that you've either fought for
or would fight for if it came down to it?

I'd like to put all of your comments into a book that will benefit
Oregon Hill in some way. So I'd love it if you wrote to me, or posted
on this forum. Or if you'd prefer, I'd be happy to sit down and talk
with you. I'm at the William Byrd Community House every Thursday
evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and like I said, I like porch talks too.

My e-mail address is kelleylibby@gmail.com

Messages


Dear Neighbor,

We have been making and collecting messages from people, children, the community. Many people have helped create these signs to give to others; Some of the people involved in the project include- OH teenagers from SynerGeo's Teen Center, Transformers volunteer work group from Roanoke, The Cross-Pollination Project, Neighbors, Shoppers participating at the Byrd House Markets, and the SynerGeo Staff.

We will be passing out messages on Monday and Tuesday, if we miss you please pick one up on Tuesday at The Byrd House Market.

We hope that you will participate in our vision and display the message in your yard Wednesday, July 30 through Wednesday, August 6, 2008.

During these weeks we will be teaching children of the community about how art can affect their environment. Thank you for your participation in this project.

Also, feel free to leave the message up for as long as you wish.

Sincerely,

SynerGeo Staff
