Discover Richmond Children’s Activities
If you have ever stressed about how to entertain your young ones, Richmond has plenty of great places to learn and have fun.
Virginia Fine Arts Museum
Richmonders love art and many flock to the Virginia Fine Arts Museum in the Museum District to see world-class exhibitions, from mummies to pop art. Introduce your little Richmonders to the wonderful world of art – pick up a Family Fun Guide from the Visitors Services desk and encourage them to try their hands at the museum’s art scavenger hunt. 200 N. Boulevard
Meadow Farm Museum
What was life like in the rural South in the mid-19th century? Find out at Meadow Farm Museum in Henrico County. Costumed interpreters introduce kids to life on the farm: Visit with a blacksmith in his forge or a doctor in his office. The museum is part of Crump Park which has plenty of open space, walking trails and a great playground so bring a picnic and enjoy a day in the country. 3400 Mountain Road, Glen Allen
SPARC
Since 1981, the School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community has been inspiring young ones to take to the stage, meanwhile building confidence, character, appreciation of diversity, and teamwork. Enroll your budding actors in one of SPARC’s performing art classes, with acting, singing and dancing. 2106 N. Hamilton St.

Dominion pledges $500,000 to Black History Museum
The largest ever private-sector donation to the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia lifts its campaign to renovate and move to the historic Leigh Street Armory above the $3 million mark. M. H. West & Co., Inc. supports this kind of effort to fund a great Richmond project.
The $500,000 pledge from Dominion Resources is notable not only because of its size but also because it can be used to leverage other grants, said Stacy L. Burrs, chairman of the museum.
“Very often the contributions we receive are challenge grants,” Burrs said. “A gift of this size not only leverages the challenge grants, but it also leverages support down the road from other major corporations. Everyone knows that Dominion is a leader in the community. They’ve vetted the project and see it as worthy of this kind of contribution. It means we’ve done something right. We’ve made a good start.” (more…)

An Interview with an Industry Stakeholder
Marilyn West is the CEO of M. H. West & Co., Inc.
Accolade: Humanitarian Award of 2012 from the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities for bridge-building connecting communities
Q: Why do you work with students in the School of Business?
A: My brother has a graduate degree from VSU and I got to know Eddie Moore who was from Philadelphia and then I got to know Keith Miller and his work for Go Red for Women. He and VSU were really the first school in the area to support Go Red for Women. Also, because of Mirta for what she has done as a minority at a minority institution. As a business person, I have been very impressed with what has been done. I have been around VSU and have been hearing about VSU for a long time so I guess it was natural for me to get involved and to support the Reginald F. Lewis School of Business.
Q: Identify your favorite quote.
A: “I don’t look to jump over 7 foot bars; I look around for 1 foot bars that I can step over.” – Warren Buffett
