Our monthly potluck will take place this Monday night, September 21st.  Bring a dish and come enjoy a meal with your neighbors!

SynerGeo is working with Four Mile Creek Baptist Church to host a Recreation Camp this week.  If anyone wants to send their kids to our camp this week its not too late! Monday through Thursday => 9:30-12:00.

Call 804-648-2287 to sign your kids up!

SynerGeo is looking for volunteers to help with programs. Also looking
for CSX employees. CSX gives $10 an hour to SynerGeo for every hour an
employee volunteers. This would really help us since money is even
tighter this year.

Please pass this on to any CSX employees you may know, who might want to
volunteer with kids.

thanks.
