Concerned Black Men of Richmond Spring 2023 Activity Summary Update

October 9, 2023

 

Greetings all!

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond would like to update you with a Spring ’23 activity summary. 

In March, we held an “Effective Communication & Public Speaking” activity.  It took place at Franklin Military Academy on the 18^th 

On April 15^th we took a trip to The Science Museum of Virginia.  This activity was used as a recruitment tool to grow our youth corp. We also held our Etiquette activity on April 29^th at Franklin Military Academy. 

In May CBM visited Ristorante LaGrotta to show off what they learned in the Etiquette activity. Former Governor L. Douglas Wilder met us at LaGrotta and gave an inspirational question and answer session with our mentees!

 

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond wrapped up the Spring 23’ session with an Awards Cook-In at Franklin Military Academy.  We acknowledged the many accomplishments of the mentees and provided them with a cash gift for their participation.

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond are working diligently to provide impactful activities for the youth in our community.

We have some exciting activities planned for the 23/ 24 session!

Thanks to each of the mentors and each of you for your interest and assistance in providing quality programs for the young men in our community. It means the world to our community and the youth we serve.

Sincerely,
Timothy 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
