Volunteer and have fun at the Richmond Chapter's first service event!

Help expand the Governor's School Alumni's presence in the Richmond community by handing out water at the SunTrust Richmond Marathon/McDonald's Half Marathon. Our water stop will be located on Lombardy Street between VUU and Maggie Walker at Mile 24 of the full marathon and Mile 11 of the half. This is a great way to connect with current Governor's School students at the neighboring race Spirit Group setup on school grounds. There will be two shifts, one from 11am to 1pm, and the second from 1pm to 3pm.

Also if you are running in the marathon and want to carb out, or if you aren't running and just want to hang out, come to Noodles and Co. at Willow Lawn the night before the race for a pasta dinner social event. Details on that can be found here http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=135767866475784

2010 Fall Festival and Alumni Reception

There was a great turnout for what Pat Taylor called the biggest Fall Festival yet! Your Richmond Alumni Chapter officers manned (and wo-manned) the Foundation table and welcomed all alumni to the festival. In total, 130 alumni stopped by the table, and 38 joined the Richmond Alumni Chapter! If you weren't one of those cool 38 people and want to be cool like them, send an email to richmondalumni@governorsschoolfoundation.org and get on the mailing list.

The Class of 2000 showed up en masse for their 10-year reunion. We also saw members of the original GSGIS Class of 1995 in town for their 15th. The Alumni Reception at Bottoms Up was equally packed and it certainly appeared that a good time was had by all. Thanks to everyone for coming out, signing up, and getting down!
