Another Giving Tuesday Message

Yes, it is yet another Giving Tuesday message from one of the many non-profit organizations in your email box today. But here we are, at the end of this shopping spree season, hoping you may contribute a bit to our mission. If you can send us a gift, that would be fantastic (here is the link to do that). If not, that is OK too.

Regardless of the above, we would love to extend an invitation to those who have not yet attended our Open University. We meet on Mondays and Thursdays starting January 13, 2020 (wow, 2020). Please come spend a day, free of charge, to see if it the program for you. The schedule will be out soon and available on this website (subscribe to the website to get the schedule link via email when it is available – you can do that on the right hand side of the website, just below our logo).

AND, we also invite you to volunteer to be a driver and help us ensure that Richmond seniors get to their medical appointments and grocery stores. It is an easy and rewarding way to give back to your community and some of our drivers feel that they are putting in their time now so they can cash in later, when they no longer can drive themselves. Find out more by watching our VIDEO. If it sparks your interest, please feel free to call and find out more (804-355-7282).

Thanks for your consideration (and for making it all the way through this message!). Wishing you a wonderful day and many more to come!

Open University – Thursdays

Hello Thursday OU Students –

I met with the administrator at First Presbyterian last week to discuss the church’s revised Child & Youth protection policy which has prompted them to make some changes in their building.  Following is a summary of the changes to help you navigate the building.  The church will place signs indicating no access areas.

You will still enter through the same door adjacent to the parking lot, using the buzzer at the right of the door when locked.  On the first floor, the hallway along the Fellowship Hall will be open to the end, including the stairwell which can still be used. However, you will no longer be able to continue down the hallway to the right past this stairwell. 

The restrooms on the first floor will still be accessible, but there is no access beyond them.

On the second floor, when exiting the elevator, there is no longer access to the right down the hallway.  To get to the classrooms where OU meets, you will need to walk around the hallway to your left.  The second floor is a rectangle, so you can go all the way around. Another option, for those able to take the stairs, is to use the stairway at the end of the hallway by the Fellowship Hall. 

And finally, concerning the restrooms on the second floor, please do not use the ones across from Room 218, close to the elevators.  Those are for the preschool only.  There is another set of restrooms around the corner, on either side of Room 209, for OU students.

We will be available on site to help everyone navigate these changes.  I thank you for your understanding and look forward to another great year of lifelong learning together.  See you on the 26th – Julie
