Resources for

Voting Information


Jane Newell, one of our new members, is the immediate past President of the League of Women Voters. Jane shared some information that might be helpful to all of us as we prepare to vote in November or as we help others who desire more information about voting. 

The League of Women Voters recommends using Vote411, a non-partisan source for candidate information. The LWV contacts local, state, and federal candidates with questions and publishes exactly what they return. The voter just provides their home address to obtain the information on the candidates. Unfortunately, some candidates do not reply.  Vote411 is at www.vote411.org .

 

The League of Women Voters is also hosting some candidate forums for candidates running for office in the City of Richmond. Here some of those upcoming events. 

  • Richmond City Council at VMHC – Oct. 9 at 6:00pm (all districts have been invited)
  • City District 5 Mayoral Forum at Richmond High School for the Arts (formerly Wythe HS) – Oct. 10 at 6:00 (all five candidates have committed to attending)
  • Mayoral Debate sponsored by Richmond First Club at VMHC – Oct. 15th at 7pm (Will be televised by co-sponsor WTVR Channel 6. Be seated by 6:30.)

For more information, the local League website is found at www.lwv-rma.org .  

St. Francis Feast Day/

Blessing of the Animals Service

at Capitol Square

Sunday, October 6th @ 4:00pm

 

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has invited Centenary and our sister downtown churches to join them in a simple service of the Blessing of the Animals in honor of St. Francis’ Feast day at Capitol Square near the Bell Tower. Please bring your well-behaved pets (or a photo!), a lawn chair/blanket, and cat/dog food donations (cans or bags) to this intergenerational, interspecies service. Together, we will give thanks to God our Creator, bless God’s creatures, and pray for the healing of God’s creation. All pet food donations will go to Richmond Animal League (ral.org). Contact Rev. Gwynn Crichton for more information - gcrichton@stpaulsrva.org.
