Join us for a community conversation about the Presidential Inauguration on Saturday, February 21 from 1 PM to 3 PM in the Bard Room at Morrisson-Reeves Library. Richmond residents who attended the event are invited as well as residents who were unable to attend, but are interested in discussing it.

Jim Hair, Harry Leavell and his son Henry Leavell, and other Richmond residents will share stories, photographs and video of the Inauguration of President Obama. Everyone is invited to this free event. If anyone has photos they would like to share, or questions, please contact Jim Hair at jim@richmondartworks.com.

Please join us at Arden Hearth, 202 N. 15th St., for an elegant evening of sharing recitations and readings of poems or short excerpts from your favorite books. If all books were to be destroyed by fire, what fragments of literary greatness would you snatch from the flames? What lines of poetry are etched in your memory safe from the fate of ashes? After sharing our readings and reasons for preserving these writers, we’ll enjoy well-read conversation, coffee, and dessert in the charming setting of a fine old Victorian home of Richmond.  continue reading »
