Today was a great HandsOn Greater Richmond Day
More than 1,000 volunteers signed up for 40 service projects that all took place today as part of HandsOn Greater Richmond 2009, including projects at Armstrong High School and Bellevue Elementary. RVA Tweets has a running commentary from the day. The HandsOn Youtube page will be collecting video from the day and the HandsOn Flickr page will have photos from the day (and the local events ought to show up in the Church Hill Flickr pool, too).
Team Armstrong gave the teacher’s lounge a make-over
I was at Bellevue! Lots of great people showed up and a mini UPS army, wearing the traditional UPS brown, were donating themselves for the day. Nice to see. I’ve volunteered to come back to help them paint a mural :)
Thanks to all the volunteers that came out to Bellevue and Armstrong! It was a great day all around. Hope to see you ( and your friends) on HandsOn projects throughout the year and of course NEXT YEAR!
