Monday’s Open University Canceled
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
Monday Open University Update
Good Day Everyone!
There is the possibility of inclement weather on Monday, February 15. Monday is also Presidents’ Day and the city schools are closed, so we do not have their decision to determine whether we are closed. So this is our inclement weather plan for Monday:
We are keeping our eye on the forecast and will make a decision Sunday evening. This decision will be posted on our website. If we are closed, it will also appear on the scroll of the local television stations.
Stay warm over the next couple of days and check on your older neighbors! -Julie
New Topic! Same Great Speaker!
We are privileged to have the eminent historian/author Charles Bryan at all three of our Open University locations in February. Dr. Bryan has announced that his topic for those appearances will be “What Makes Great Nations Great?”
He will still have available copies of his new book Imperfect Past: History in a New Light available for purchase and signing, as announced in our newsletter. Dr. Bryan will speak at St. Luke Lutheran on Feb. 1; at St. Mary Catholic on Feb. 3 and at First Presbyterian on Feb. 4–all at 12:30.
Open University WILL happen Thursday!
It’s time to get out of the house! Open University will meet as scheduled, Thursday, January 28, at First Presbyterian Church. When Richmond City Schools have a delayed opening, we meet as we normally do. Classes are 9:45, 11:00, 12:15 and 1:30.
We also have a change of lunch speakers at 12:30. Elizabeth Seydel Morgan, prize-winning poet and author of Spans, will be unable to speak at First Presbyterian Church on Thursday, Jan. 28. She will be rescheduled for the fall. In her place is Paul Sacra, whose topic is “”The Battle of Cedar Mountain: Stonewall Jackson’s Last Fight as an Independent Commander.”
We hope to see everyone who can make it safely!
Open University’s Lunch-n-Life Cancelled
Richmond City schools are closed again tomorrow which means that our Lunch-n-Life program at St. Mary Catholic Church on Wednesday, January 27th, is cancelled. We will be opening the office at 10:00am on Wednesday and we will keep our fingers crossed about Thursday’s Open University (OU). If Richmond City schools are closed, the OU is cancelled. If there is a delayed opening, we operate at the normal scheduled times.
We hope everyone is doing well with all this snow. Be very careful if you venture out – Julie
