Many thanks to Marvi Ali, the President of our Satellite Club of the Rotary Club of Richmond, and the Friends of the James River for coordinating this fun and productive way to celebrate Earth Day! Cat and Becca from FORJRP educated and led our club members about the hazards of invasive species. They then proceeded to search and remove these plants to prevent further spread in the park. Participants included Marvi Ali, Erin Kelleher, Pam Kelleher, Stephen Kindermann, Terrill Thorne, Barham Nardo, Paul Neumann, Warren Aldrich and Stephan Edemobi. They then went on to celebrate the victory against invasive species at O'Tooles in Forest Hill. Fun was had by all (except for the errant plants)!

Many thanks to Capital Trees for organizing the planting of over 8500 tree seedlings in Short Pump to help grow a new forest next to the Nuckols Farm Elementary School. This new forest will only take between 5-10 years and will help provide habitat for native wildlife as well as help cool the area within a 1/2 mile radius. We had 8 Rotarians from our main and satellite club help plant hundreds of seedlings in just 2 hours including Warren Aldrich, Paul Neumann, Paul Nardo, Barham Nardo, Katie Hellebush, Michela Worthington, Anna and Carlos Diaz.

It is so wonderful to see our fabulous friend and photographer, Karen Taylor Davis, getting much deserved notice for her photograph of our hard working Rotarians, Mary Ann Griffith Wilson, and Joe Kelleher, at Project Warm.

Since 1976, Project W.A.R.M. has been warming homes and hearts in Richmond, Virginia. The all-volunteer organization was founded when Lou Wilson heard a news story about a mother who was burning clothes to keep her family warm. When Lou said “someone needs to do something”, it meant that Lou would do something to make a difference. Within weeks, he and wife, Mary Ann, began to collect firewood to deliver to families in need, so they could warm their homes. Since that time, many Project W.A.R.M. volunteers have worked to collect, chop, split, and deliver wood to warm the hearts as well as the homes of those in need. When 98-year-old, WWII veteran, Ralph Lett, had a tree taken down, he wondered how he could get rid of the wood pile in his front yard. Enter Mary Ann and Joe Kelleher from Project W.A.R.M. They collected and loaded Ralph’s wood to pass along to Project W.A.R.M. families – warming the heart of the donor and the home of the grateful recipient.

We are crossing fingers that her photo wins the contest like it has won our hearts!
