In keeping with the past, Northern Neck Soil & Water Conservation District is coordinating fall waterways cleanup events on three different dates as part of the annual Virginia Waterways Cleanup organized by Clean Virginia Waterways (CVW) of Longwood University. Volunteers are still needed. The first of the cleanups are two Lancaster County sites, scheduled for Saturday, September 12. Please register to help with these morning events, which follow the busy Labor Day weekend. This is a great way for you and your family and friends to be part of the stewardship of the Northern Neck's natural surroundings-to be part of the solution to an aesthetic and environmental problem in the community-trash in our rivers and on our shores. Lancaster (two sites, concurrently): Saturday, September 12, 9:00 a.m.-noon Greenvale Creek Public Landing, Mollusk Windmill Point Beach, White Stone In 2008, a record number of citizens came forward in Virginia. With 5,710 volunteers picking up 254,046 pounds of trash on 365 miles of Virginia's rivers, streams and beaches, the effort set an all time record for the state. Later cleanups are set for two other counties: Northumberland: Saturday, September 26, 9:00a.m.- noon Lodge Landing, near Callao Richmond (two sites): Sunday, October 18, 2:00-5:00 p.m. Jones Creek Landing followed by Carter's Wharf Public Landing The data collected from the cleanups are used by the Ocean Conservancy, Virginia State Parks, U.S. Coast Guard, National Park Service and hundreds of nonprofit organizations to help track trends in litter, and to design litter-prevention efforts. This annual event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, the world's largest volunteer effort to collect data on litter and trash in the aquatic environment! Cleanup events are held on the coasts, and inland, since inland litter often ends up in our Bay and our oceans. Of the top ten categories of the trash picked up from Virginia's rivers and beaches, cigarette butts are on top of the list. Food and beverage packaging dominate the rest of the list. Last year's volunteer efforts at Farnham Creek Landing in Richmond County and Westmoreland State Park yielded a similar top ten list as the state's, in general, with cigarettes and filters leading the way, accumulating to 1,700 at the two sites. The total haul of trash for the two sites weighed in at 556 pounds. Interested volunteers or groups please register with Faye Andrashko, Northern Neck Soil & Water Conservation District, 804 333-3525, ext 113, or faye.andrashko at va.nacdnet.net. NNSWCD will provide directions to sites, as well as snacks, water, and sunscreen at the event. Registration is necessary to assure sufficient supplies and for contacting participants in case of weather-related changes. Please bring protective gloves and hats and wear shoes that can get wet.

These lectures are taught by Professor Richard Brettell of the Aesthetic Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas. He is a teacher and curator of international renown and is widely published on 19th-20th century art. In this lecture series, you will learn how the Impressionist aesthetic was driven by the rise of the railroad and suburban tourism; how Mary Cassatt painted the lives of wealthy expatriates, while Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec scoured the dives of Montmartre to draw Paris by night; about technique: Degas's use of lighting effects, Renoir's plump, sensuous brushstrokes. "We'll take a chronological, and oftentimes biographical, approach to studying the artists rather than looking at each career separately," says Professor Brettell. "This is due in large part to the fact that there was a certain amount of collectivity among them, visible not only in the Impressionist exhibitions but in the artistic tours/retreats that pairs of painters took in order to study modern life and its environs." This information was taken from the www.greatcourses.com website. Theses DVD lectures are free to the public. Refreshments will be served. Call 725-1278 for more information.

Just 1/5 believe they could avoid such problems for one month with half their employees out. The survey also found that while 74% of businesses offer paid sick leave for employees, only 35% of businesses offer paid leave that would allow employees to take care of sick family members, and even fewer would allow paid time off to care for children if schools/daycares were closed (21%). Does your business/organization/agency have a plan on how to adjust your operations to account for greater absenteeism? Do you have a plan on how to slow the spread of H1N1 in the workplace?

We encourage you to take a few minutes to answer this survey. -------------------------------------------------------- The V3 Campaign is seeking answers from you! Too many in the public and media as well as our policy makers are unaware of the economic and social impact of the nonprofit sector. When it comes to addressing the problems of poverty, education, public health and environmental quality, the nonprofit sector is leading the way in producing solutions. These solutions, however, could have an even greater impact if they were leveraged through more powerful and enterprising partnerships between nonprofit, business and governmental forces. The V3 Campaign has these issues in mind as it becomes part permanent campaign and part nonprofit organization. This hybrid will become both resource center and advocacy arm for nonprofit organizations nationally, with an eye towards a global initiative. The V3 Campaign has partnered with ConnectNetwork, American Humanics, and Virginia Network of Nonprofit Organizations to launch this survey. This survey runs from September 10 - September 30, 2009, with findings presented in October. Please follow this link to take this 15 minute survey. The survey answers will help the V3 Campaign determine how nonprofit employees and leaders would like to see this exciting campaign develop and will produce information that we can present to those who run for office so that they will better understand the vast untapped power of the nonprofit community. Thank you so much for your time! V3 Campaign Courtney Sieloff, Director Robert Egger, Founder -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The RFP is in both Word and PDF formats. The RFP announces the availability of $10,000 in grant funding. The submission deadline is October 21, 2009. (We can only accept hardcopy submissions.) The grant (or grants) will be announced at a public ceremony on Tuesday, December 1. Twenty-one students at the University of Mary Washington are taking a course entitled ECON 324-Economics of Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector. I am the instructor. The aspect of the course of most interest to you is the semester-long class project. Thanks to the generosity of Doris Buffett's Sunshine Lady Foundation, the class has been given $10,000 to use to make grants to local charitable organizations. To maximize the educational value of the project, the project will be student-directed as much as possible. Neither Doris Buffett nor I will have any say in the selection of recipients. The RFP has been written in such a way as to attract submissions from a wide variety of charitable organizations. This is the fifth year the course has been offered, and we anticipate this course to be an annual offering at UMW for quite some time in the future. Please feel free to circulate this message among your associates. I will be happy to answer your questions about the RFP. Please contact me by e-mail at rrycroft at umw.edu or by phone at 540-654-1500.

St. Margaret's offers a diverse student body and a sound college preparatory curriculum, challenging to each individual. In a Christian environment, founded on the Episcopal tradition, both honor and character are developed. St. Margaret's seeks to inspire each student to make the best of herself, and in so doing, make a better world.
