Sunday’s Times-Dispatch book section has an error in the location of Thursday’s lunch speaker. Dr. Everett Worthington, professor of psychology at VCU, will speak on “Forgiveness and Heroic Humility” at First Presbyterian Church, 4602 Cary Street, on Thursday, April 28, and not at St. Luke Lutheran. His talk at St. Luke will be on Monday, May 2.
To quote our president’s proclamation:
People of all ages can volunteer, and anyone can, through the smallest of acts, do their part to improve the lives of others. This week, we celebrate the selfless individuals around our country who channel their civic virtues through volunteerism, and we encourage more people to make service an integral part of their lives.”
Volunteers help drive our country’s progress, and day in and day out, they make extraordinary sacrifices to expand promise and possibility. During National Volunteer Week, let us shed the cynicism that says one person cannot make a difference in the lives of others by embracing each of our individual responsibilities to serve and shape a brighter future for all.
I want to thank all of our volunteers at The Shepherd’s Center of 
Richmond for their dedication, energy, encouragement, creativity and excitement. Together, we continue to make Richmond a more caring community for older people – Julie

This Thursday, March 10, at First Presbyterian Church, our lunch speaker will be Adam Goehle, ESL Teacher, presenting Total Immersion in Istanbul. Lunch begins at noon and the talk starts at 12:30.
Due to a funeral at First Presbyterian Church, we will NOT have the noon lunch speaker this Thursday, March 3rd. The courses at 9:45 and 11:00, as well as the Feldenkrais class at 1:30, will meet as usual.
Our speaker for this day, Brett Bonda from Richmond Ballet, will be speaking during our spring session at both St. Luke and St. Mary. Be sure to catch him then!
We are sorry to announce that the Open University at St. Luke’s Lutheran is canceled due to inclement weather. There is a strong potential for hazardous travel conditions all morning and possibly throughout the afternoon and the safety of our students, faculty and staff is most important.
Stay safe and warm and we hope to see you at Thursday’s Open University at First Presbyterian – Julie
Last week we celebrated our volunteers with a luncheon, loot and lambs at First Baptist Church. We can never thank
our volunteers enough for all that they do to make Richmond a more caring community for older people – Thank you for your Thyme!!!
