Greetings all,
The Concerned Black Men of Richmond, Inc. held our 2nd Manners Workshop on Saturday the 17th of November at Franklin Military Academy. Again, the event was coordinated by Past President Wayne Rachel, Sr. and conducted by Elizabeth Kirven. There was a great turnout of both mentees and mentors.
Ms. Kirven’s workshop required the boys to write about events in their lives that described happiness, friend interaction, their uniqueness as well as family perception of themselves.
She also discussed table manners, job interviewing etiquette and wardrobe selection. The boys got to interact with each other and the entire group by practicing the various items that were discussed.
We presented Ms. Kirven with a gift certificate for coming all the way from Maryland to conduct this workshop. The Concerned Black Men of Richmond, Inc. really appreciate her dedication to our organization!
Again we would like to thank each person and organization that contributed to the Concerned Black Men of Richmond, Inc. Your contributions have been instrumental in ensuring that we can continue to provide impactful programs to young men in the Richmond area. We hope we can count on your patronage in the future.
Sincerely,
Tim Mallory
President-CBM-RVA

Greetings,
The Concerned Black Men of RVA recently conducted our Etiquette Pt1 event. The event was held on Saturday the 14th at Franklin Military Academy. It is a prerequisite to the LaGrotta Ristorante fine dining outing that will be in May. We discussed proper dress, table settings and how they are expected to conduct themselves in this type of environment. The Concerned Black Men of RVA have been doing this since 2011 and have progressed to a point where the mentees are instructing each other on how to tie neckties!
We also played the movie “Courageous” which illustrates choices, consequences and fatherhood. This is the 2nd time we have shown this movie to our mentees and it was received very well. Afterwards the boys were treated to lunch at McDonald’s.
We would like to again thank each of you who have donated to the Concerned Black Men of RVA. Your support is an integral part to the success of our mission. We strive each month to engage our youth with life enhancing experiences that will assist them in all their future endeavors. Your support means the world to the youth that 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
