Virginia “Gini” Bonnell shared her journey last Thursday during lunch at the Open University in a talk entitled, Choose Kindness, Change the World.  She spoke about the life-changing inspiration that led her to create the “Be Kind” signs.  To get others involved, Gini had signs for everyone in the room and encouraged us to hang them outside in a place where they would be seen.

Well, I did just that and wanted to share it with all of you!  If you have a “Be Kind” sign that you have hung, send me a picture (jadams@TSCOR.org) and I will be happy to share it here with everyone too!  What a good message to spread – Julie

And you thought we forgot.  Are you kidding?!  That would be impossible!

Our volunteers are among the best volunteers in Richmond and we are so blessed to have every one of them.  We thank them for their dedication, contributions, personalities and energy.  Without our volunteers, we would NOT exist – literally!

Here are some photos from our 35th Anniversary Celebration this past March, honoring the work of our volunteers.  They are beyond amazing and we are so grateful – Julie

Due to low enrollment, Thursday’s April 11 “Medicine and Science” lecture, Impact of Diabetes on Visual Functions, is cancelled. Please join us Thursday, April 25 for Peter Goodman’s lecture, New Thoughts on the Problem of Obesity.

Our friend, Bill Lohmann, joined us at lunch today to talk about his new book, DR. COPTR: The Flying Physician Who Kept His Promise to Tangier Island.  As always, it was a wonderful time and I think Bill left us happy, well fed, and with a piece of PIE to boot!

Thanks to Susie, for taking such fine care of our speaker, and to Bill, for recording such a fantastic piece of history!
