Greetings,
The Concerned Black Men of RVA visited the Bowtie Cinemas for our March activity. All of our youth received a complimentary ticket to see the iconic movie “Black Panther”. Winford Hill (a former mentor) graciously paid for each youth in attendance. Also in attendance was Joseph Taylor (a former mentee and son of Alex Taylor).
Some of the mentees had already seen the movie but were eager to view it again!
After the movie, we had lunch and a rap session at the Pizza Hut Midtown on Davis & Broad Streets. Joseph Taylor addressed the youth on the importance of the values that the Concerned Black Men of RVA are instilling in them through various programs each month. He relayed how CBM’s Public Speaking activities helped him to confidently handle the requirement and he was selected as a leader of a group project at ECPI.
CBM of RVA sends a special thanks to each of you for your contributions. Your donations have aided us in our endeavor to influence our small group of young men in a positive way. We thank you for your support; it means the world to us and the youth that we serve.
Sincerely,
Timothy Mallory
President-CBM-RVA

Greetings,
The Concerned Black Men of Richmond recognized “Black History Month” by visiting the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia. We toured the museum on Saturday February 17th with 12 youth and 9 mentors.
There were 2 floors filled with examples of black men, women and children from Virginia that changed our country as well as the world. The tour was conducted by Mary C. Lauderdale, the Visitor Services Manager. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about each exhibit at the center.
There were a number of interactive displays that were fun as well as educational. The tour lasted roughly an hour and the boys were very engaged.
Ms. Lauderdale shared a very interesting story regarding Arthur Ashe. She explained how England sent a delgation to Richmond to see what we were doing to commemorate the Silver Anniversary of Mr. Ashe’s Wimbledon victory and that nothing was being done! She took time to share anecdotes at each of the displays and captured the attention of everyone.
The Concerned Black Men of Richmond strive each month to stimulate the imaginations and aspirations of our youth through activities such as this. Thanks to caring people in the community and beyond such as yourselves, we continue show our mentees that their possibilities truly are limitless. Again, thank you for your support. It means the world to the Concerned Black Men of Richmond and the youth we serve.
Sincerely,
Timothy Mallory
President-CBM-RVA

Comments Off on Concerned Black Men of Richmond holds ‘Improve Your Speaking’ activity at Franklin Miltary Academy
January 29, 2018
The Concerned Black Men of Richmond VA are excited to kick off 2018! We started with our “Improve Your Speaking” activity at Franklin Military Academy. The activity was coordinated by Mark Robinson with the RVA chapter of the “Toastmasters”. There were 11 mentees and 8 mentors in attendance.
Stacy Taylor of the Richmond Toastmasters started the event with a review of some accepted techniques for proper public speaking.
Next, Mark Robinson elaborated on “LPR”, (listen, pause and respond); a technique for answering questions.
After a brief discussion, the mentees were required to draw a question from a bag and use the “LPR” technique to answer the question. They were required to have an introduction, 3 points and a conclusion. We started with volunteers and then called on each of the rest to apply what we discussed.
Each of the mentees met the requirements and most answered their first selection pulled from the bag!
Not to be out done, the mentors demonstrated their speaking prowess as well. It was a great experience for all!
Each month the Concerned Black Men of Richmond VA attempts to provide the youth corp with activities that will enhance their development into productive citizens. We thank you for your contributions to our organization and trust that each of you knows how much it is appreciated!
Sincerely,
Tim Mallory, President CBM-RVA
