Listen to me now and thank me later… Clear your calendar for February 16th. Buy a ticket to Mojo Saturday Night for the February show (February 16th, that you just cleared your calendar for). Come down to The Gateway and enjoy a rare and exclusive evening with Roddy Barnes and his piano. It’ll be some of the toe tappinest, hip shakinest, back beatinest and even some of the sweetest blues piano you’ve ever heard.

Creigh Deeds: Redistricting shenanigans

Creigh Deeds

The only thing predictable about a “short” session is that the days will be full and pass by quickly. We are more than a third of the way through the 46 day session and had real fireworks this past week. On Monday, the nation celebrated Martin Luther King Day and the second inauguration of President Barack Obama. Nevertheless, since the Virginia Constitution calls for the General Assembly to be in session, we were hard at work considering bills and resolutions. All legislation has importance to someone, but overshadowing those bills was a tactic involving redistricting that was sprung on the Senate at the close of business on Monday afternoon.

A ‘Thank You’ Tea Party

Contributors

On Friday, January 25, the Waynesboro Senior Center invited the ladies who hosted our Christmas Dinner over for tea. The ladies are members of the Women’s Fellowship at Blue Ridge Chapel Church of the Brethren. With help from many of their spouses, they created a lavish feast for us in December, with more delicious food than any of us could possibly imagine. They also made wonderful fruit baskets to give to all the members and staff that attended the dinner. This tea was just a small way of saying thank you to them for everything they did.
