Norris, Sr., M.D., who was one of Virginia?s first black doctors and practiced as a family physician in the lower Northern Neck for over 47 years. The book chronicles the life and times of a man who labored long and tirelessly for his beloved fellow citizens of the Northern Neck and the State of Virginia. Dr. Norris will discuss the process of writing the book and some of the problems that physicians faced in the South in the early 20th century. He will focus on the elder Norris? response to the lack of specialty medical care in the lower Northern Neck, his efforts to deal with the ravages of tuberculosis in the black communities, and his involvement in education of youth and continuing education of physicians.

As part of this program the Partnership will offer a series of sessions on different aspects of nonprofit governance. Each Roundtable session is: facilitated by experts; designed to encourage lots of discussion among participants; a safe place to ask questions and compare your experiences with other board members; focused on common challenges faced by nonprofit board members and the staff who work with them; and scheduled to accommodate board members who may have full-time paid jobs. The first session in the Board Roundtable Series will be focused on Cultivating and Engaging New Board Members. One of the most important roles of a board is ensuring a strong next generation of board members. A good board doesn't just happen; it requires a thoughtful, ongoing effort to identify, cultivate, and engage the mix of board members that will have the time, talents, and passion needed to take an organization forward. During Cultivating and Engaging New Board Members we will discuss practical applications that will help the organizations: identify the profile of desired board members based on the organization's needs; develop a nominating process which the entire board understands; cultivate potential board members; establish board member expectations; welcome, orient, and engage new board members. The intended audience is senior nonprofit staff and board members. The workshop facilitator is Katherine M. Whitney, Director of Warren, Whitney, and Sherwood. Cultivating and Engaging New Board Members will be held on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 from 7.30 a.m. to 10 a.m. (7.30 a.m. to 8 a.m.: Light breakfast and networking; 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. workshop) at the offices of The Community Foundation (Suite 116, 7501 Boulders View Drive, Richmond, VA 23225).

Message-ID: <20100226115613.mhwyx8w2kgkosg8k@mail.connectnetwork.org> On behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau, we are asking our partners to join us in making history by helping to boost the mail back participation rates across the Nation and in your community during the 2010 Census. During each Decennial Census, the Census Bureau undertakes the count of every person residing in the United States, as mandated by Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. To encourage everyone to take 10 minutes to answer the 10 simple questions on the 2010 Census form, we are launching the "Take 10" campaign. Through "Take 10," you can visit http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/ to get updates on the proportion of households that have mailed back the 2010 Census forms. You also will be able to view differences between your community's participation rates and those of neighboring communities or other areas across the country. The "Take 10" Challenge - Tools to Inspire the Mail Back Participation Rates for the 2010 Census During the 2000 Census, 72 percent of occupied households mailed back their forms. In 2010, we are challenging communities to do even better. The Census Bureau's "Take 10" campaign gives you a wide range of tools to inspire your community to meet our challenge. These include: * An interactive, map-based, "Take 10" Web site that allows local areas to track and compare their 2010 Census mail back participation rates, which will be updated on a daily basis at http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/ , and to look up their 2000 Census participation rates. * An electronic toolkit is available which includes talking points, sample speeches, new releases, newsletter copy, event suggestions, flyers, stickers, and doorknob hanger templates, and more. * Suggestions on how to use friendly competition with other communities to inspire participation in the census. You can play an important leadership role in encouraging your community to mail back their forms. Most 2010 Census questionnaires are delivered from March 15-17, 2010. From the time the forms are delivered until the closing of the mail campaign at the end of April, you have the opportunity to remind your area residents of the importance of mailing back their census forms. We believe that you can encourage participation through speeches, special events, and challenges. The stakes are high; an accurate count of the local population helps to ensure that your community receives its fair share of federal funding. This funding includes resources for services, such as health care, education, and roads. Your constituents must complete and mail back their census forms between March 15, 2010 and April 15, 2010. The good news is that the 2010 Census questionnaire is one of the shortest in history-just 10 questions that only take about 10 minutes to complete. We hope we can count on you to encourage participatation in the 2010 Census. Visit http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/ now to see your area's 2000 Census mail participation rate and check the site daily for updates beginning March 22.
