A baker’s dozen emerged from the gloom near Dogwood Dell on this crisp 70 and Sunny February morning for an opportunity to improve themselves. This is how it went.

Prayers – MMOB (see below) requested thoughts and prayers for Ellie in Charlotte recovering from an accident. Remember there are always folks out there in need of some good thoughts even if you don’t know exactly what they’re going through.
Oyster gave an update on Breaking Bread – it’s back to in-person, coming inside and serving. F3 Richmond has been covering dinner the last week of the month for a number of years. Let’s keep it up! Look for open slots on the Q Sheet.
Pigskin’s church held a blood drive today. I didn’t get the backblast out in time to be ahead of it. Blood donations are always needed. Look for an opportunity.
We had a special visit from the Mothership Saturday – Mighty Mighty Owl Bait was in RVA for a rugby tournament and stopped in to DogPile to get a beat down on the road. It was a great opportunity to show off one of the most beautiful locations in Richmond and certainly one of F3 RVA’s AO jewels. Really glad to have you join us and get to know you a bit. YHC was proud to show off just a small part of what DogPile has to offer as an AO.
I once again appreciate the opportunity to come out and lead this group which has changed my life for the better in so many ways. SYITG
