Events

Everyone is invited to welcome the members of a cross-country March for Peace that will be arriving in Richmond Saturday evening, 8/18/2007. This is a group that left California in May and hopes to make it to Washington, DC by September 11th. The following events are planned to welcome them:

6:00 PM -- Greet the marchers at the main entrance to Earlham College, 815 National Road West.

6:15 PM -- Walk with the marchers on the last mile and a half of the day, east into downtown Richmond and north to Renaissance House.

7:00 PM -- Community potluck meal at Renaissance House, 302 N 11th St.

People that could be there for the welcoming at 6 are especially needed.

A casual bike ride is planned for Friday, August 31 at 5 p.m. Please bike with us from the Richmond Municipal Building, 50 North 5th Street, to the Glen Miller Park playground (behind the parks office building) for a "bring your own picnic" dinner at shelter #9. This is a family event. Kids will be able to play on the playground while grownups make new acquaintances.

This is a very casual event to simply bring people together who are interesting in bicycling. If biking is not convenient for you that day, feel free to join us at the shelter.

UPDATE: The event was a success!
