Passion Project for my After-Serving-As-A-Pediatrician “retirement” years:

Remember to bake bread for our Librarians. And photograph the children who still frequent Story Hour. I always want there to be more Libraries than there are McDonald’s …

"I think the public library system is one of the most amazing American institutions. Free for everybody. If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed their doors."

~David McCullough

If there are ever more McDonald’s than there are Libraries in the US, I’ll know I’m dead and in Hell.

Dear River City Fit:
Yes, I am over 50.
Yes, I am grossed out by how infrequently the neighborhood gym, to which I belong, cleans the equipment … (AND the bathrooms, I fear but I truly don’t know about the latter for certain.)
Yes, I may make a change … when the extra 8 minutes it will take me to walk/jog/Swog (my husband calls it) to the University Gym (VCU-MCV) doesn’t matter in a few months when my husband-running buddy retires.
BUT…
The number of ads you have showing up in my FB feed, AND the caliber of said ads, and the paucity of helpful information in them…

I probably would NEVER choose River City Fitness for my next gym or training partner even if you were FREE.

Convince me I’m wrong River city Fitness. Go->

2023 was an unforgettable year filled with gratitude and excitement! Our partnership with M4K Richmond reached new heights as they presented CHoR with a $100,000 check, marking the first installment of their $500,000 commitment. Together, we've established the M4K Fund — an endowed fund, creating a lasting legacy for M4K with CHoR.
But that's not all! M4K also sponsored our summertime tradition, Anthem LemonAid, and the 60th annual Children's Hospital Foundation Ball in November. Their unwavering support helps us nurture the champion in every child and we’re excited about the fan-stache-tic opportunities to come.
