Concerned Black Men of Richmond holds End of Year Cookout for Youth at Robinson’s Park

August 16, 2019

Greetings all!

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond concluded our 2018/19 session with an end of year cookout.  The activity was held on June 15^th at Robinson’s Park in eastern Henrico.  There were numerous parents, donors, former and current mentees in attendance.  The boys always enjoy the opportunity to show off their athletic prowess on the basketball court and playground.

 

They have really bonded well with each other by the end of the session get along great!

We started the event by giving a summary of the activities that the Concerned Black Men provided this session. 

 

Next we highlighted the mentees achievements academically as well as extracurricular participation throughout the school year.

The mentees have really represented themselves well this year and were presented with a little cash from us as encouragement to continue to pursue excellence in all their endeavors.

The food was catered by Buzz & Ned’s Real Barbeque and was enjoyed by all.   

Allyson Dyche was there putting together a piece to be aired on NPR radio in the near future. We will keep you all posted as to the air date and time.

It is always good to get together with the parents to get their feedback on how the Concerned Black Men of RVA are impacting the mentees and to thank them for the opportunity to serve their loved ones.

The Concerned Black Men of RVA would like to thank each of you also for your interest and patronage of our organization.  You were instrumental in achieving our goals for the 2018-19 session.     We hope that you continue to support our efforts in the upcoming session and let others know about the great things that the Concerned Black Men of RVA are doing!

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory,
President CBM-RVA

Concerned Black Men of Richmond Holds Social Etiquette Class for Youth

June 9, 2019

 

Greetings all,

The Concerned Black Men of RVA held our “Social Etiquette: Doing it with class” activity on Saturday, May 25^th.  As in the past, it was held at Ristorante La Grotta, a world class fine dining establishment in downtown Richmond.  The event was well attended even though we had to make a schedule change.  Everyone was on time, well dressed and had a great experience putting into practice what we covered earlier in the program.

 The food and staff were great as usual and most of the boys knew what to expect.   They were presented with a four course meal with a choice of entrées consisting of Salmon topped with shrimp, Veal Scaloppini and Filet of Chicken.  For dessert there was cheesecake or chocolate ice cream.

 

This event is a very important facet of our mission in exposing our youth to diverse cultures and enhancing life skills.

We presented Tony and Andrea Capece with a token of our appreciation for their continued support of the Concerned Back Men of RVA! They are truly special friends and their generosity is greatly impacting young men that we serve.

We would like to thank each of you for your patronage and interest in our organization as we come to the close of our program this year!  Your support enabled us to take the boys to Monticello, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and to the IMAX Theatre in the Science Museum!  The Concerned Black Men of RVA are looking forward to doing greater things next year and we hope that you will spread the word and continue to give assistance to us as we serve our youth.

 

Thank you again
Timothy Mallory
President-CBM-RVA

Concerned Black Men of Richmond conducts Part 1 of Etiquette Essentials with Youth

May 8, 2019

 

Greetings all,

The Concerned Black Men of RVA conducted the “Etiquette Essentials” activity on Saturday, April 13.  It was conducted in the conference room of the 21 Building where our office is located and was well attended by the youth as well as mentors.  We started by going over what is expected of them while attending the fine dining activity at Ristorante La Grotta this month.  Most of the mentees in attendance have participated in the activity in the past and we asked them to share their past experience with the group.  Each of them had a different perspective and was able to expound on the importance of conducting themselves properly in a fine dining establishment.

 

This year we added a trip to the Science Museum of Virginia to see a movie in the Dome Theatre entitled “Wild Africa”.  This was a first time seeing an IMAX movie for a couple of the mentees and they really enjoyed the experience.

Everyone had a great time during this activity and was very well behaved!

The Concerned Black Men of RVA cannot thank you all enough for your interest and support of our organization.  We strive to engage the mentees in activity that enhance their life skills and increases their intellectual curiosity.  Your support ensures that money will not be an impediment to our mission in caring for our youth.  By impacting the young men we impact the community and by impacting the community we impact the world.

Sincerely,
Timothy Mallory
President-CBM-RVA
