Concerned Black Men of Richmond Attends 30th Annual 2nd Street Festival

October 16, 2018

 

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond started the session off by attending the 30^th Annual 2^nd St Festival in Historic Jackson Ward October 6^th & 7th.  We manned our usual booth next to the voter registration booth on Community Row.  There was a lot of interest shown in our organization and a couple of former members stopped by as well.  A few prominent politicians visited our booth and it was nice to thank Senator Jennifer McClellan in person for her assistance with the Capitol Tour that we went on last session.  There was a lot of interest shown by parents many expressed their appreciation for what we are doing in the community.

 

 

 

The 2^nd Street Festival has provided The Concerned Black Men of Richmond with excellent exposure for a number of years and we hope the relationship will continue for years to come.

Thank you to all of you for your interest and patronage to our organization.  Your support means the world to the youth that we serve.

 

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory, President CBM-RVA

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

Dear Fellow Sponsors and Supporters of CBM:

We are excited to begin our new session for 2017-2018 and would like to thank each person who contributed to the success of our program.

This past summer, three of our youth, graduated from high school and elected to go on to college!  We are excited and proud of the choices they have made to pursue higher education.  

CBM actually had the privilege of mentoring two of these young men since the 5th grade and we are delighted that we were able to help stimulate them culturally, academically, and socially.

Ramone Jeffers graduated from Garner Magnet High School in Raleigh, NC. He is attending North Carolina Central University majoring in Sports Medicine.

Torian Jones graduated from Richmond Community High School. He is attending Old Dominion University majoring in English.

Timothy Banks graduated from Franklin Military Academy.  He is attending Virginia State University majoring in Mass Communication.

 

All of these young men exemplify what we are trying to accomplish with our programs.  Thank you all for your contributions through participation and or monetary donations.  We hope that The Concerned Black Men of Richmond can count on each of you for continued support.  You are providing an invaluable service to the community and the world.

 

Sincerely,

Tim Mallory
CBMRVA President
