SynerGeo is saddened by the loss of neighborhood fixture, Michael “Mad Dog” Brown. We will never forget him.
Michael Anthony “Mad Dog” Brown
Michael Anthony “Mad Dog” Brown died on July 27, 2010 at his Oregon Hill home in Richmond, Virginia. Born September 21, 1958 in Ohio, he was preceded in death by his parents and a son and is survived by a daughter and siblings. Quick to tell a story or share a laugh, he enjoyed blue grass music and living simply.
Visitation will be held at the SynerGeo building located at 349 South Laurel Street on Wednesday, August 4 from 5-7pm. A burial service will be held at Riverview Cemetery on Thursday, August 5 at 1:00pm with a reception following at Pine Street Baptist Church.
Much gratitude is extended to Angelus Funeral Home, Ms. Lewis, the Medi Hospice team and the Oregon Hill community. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to SynerGeo or the Oregon Hill Baptist Center food pantry.

SynerGeo will be having a “Soup Buy the Bowl” fundraiser on Friday, May 7th at 6pm at Pine Street Baptist. $20 a ticket gets you tea, soup, and a handmade bowl (fired in the SynerGeo kiln) of your very own to keep. Several children from our programs will be on hand to share their experiences with SynerGeo. This is a perfect opportunity for local, community-minded citizens from Oregon Hill and beyond to come out and support us, and to learn more about what we do for the neighborhood we serve.
This event helps continue to offer programs to low income children and youth. We really appreciate your support!
RSVP here! Email bonniehofmeyer [at] synergeo.org or call 804-648-2287 for more info.

As with most non-profits, it’s been a challenging year finding the resources to keep the wheels turning at SynerGeo. Please help us to continue building community and providing a safe, fun place for kids to get creative in Oregon Hill. This winter / spring, we’ve got two great options for supporting Synergeo and supporting yourselves at the same time:
- Place an order with us for homemade brunswick stew. It’s perfect soup weather! We’ll be cooking up a delicious batch of this classic stew for $7 a quart, and it will be available for pickup (or if you know somebody here, delivery!) on February 27th after 12:30pm. Contact Bonnie [bonniehofmeyer at synergeo.org] or call us [804-648-2287] to pre-order.
- Buy some plants from us for your spring garden. Your yard will thank us, and we will thank you for giving back to your community. Our online shop has something for all your gardening needs, including gorgeous flowers, fruits and vegetables. Each plant you order will arrive in the mail, ready to plant, at the appropriate planting time! Note: if you’d rather order by cash or check, you can contact Bonnie [bonniehofmeyer at synergeo.org].
Thank you so much for your generosity — your good works help us to do ours.
