On November 3rd, we will be electing the Delegates and senators who will represent us in Richmond.  Come to our forum and find out where they stand on the issues that are important to you.  

This event is Wednesday, October 14th, in the auditorium of the Virginia Beach Oberndorf Central Library.  We will begin at 6:30 PM.

Co-sponsored by Princess Anne Garden Club, Virginia Beach Garden Club, Back Bay Restoration Foundation, Virginia Beach Council of Civic Organizations, and Lynnhaven River NOW.

No pre-registration is required.  For more information, 757-962-5398 or Karen@LRNow.org.

 

All are welcome to join us as we pick up trash and debris from shorelines, wetlands and other areas at Beach Garden Park.  Much help is needed.

We will meet across from Farm Fresh at 9:00 AM and finish by noon.  For more information or to register, contact Dana@LRNow.org.

 
LRNow has taken a position in opposition to drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Virginia.  We have made too much progress restoring our oysters and other marine species, restoring water quality and our wetlands to put it all at risk.  More information about our position is available on our website.
If you share our position, yard signs like the one pictured are available in our office at the Brock Environmental Center. 

 

 
All walks will be led by LRNow and the Audubon Society.  We will meet at 7:30 AM on Marlin Bay Drive and walk a loop in Pleasure House Point including a stop at the Brock Environmental Center.  There is no fee, but a $5 donation will be appreciated and help offset our costs.
For more information or to register, contact  Dana@LRNow.org or call 757-962-5398.

City Council to Ask Citizens at Town Hall Meetings and Online

For the first time in 24 years, the City Council must choose a new city manager.  James K. Spore will retire on January 1.  He began his tenure in Virginia Beach in 1991.

The City Council is conducting a nationwide search for a new city manager.  To aid in that search, City Council members want to hear from you.  What qualities make a good city manager?  What do you want to see in our next leader?

City Council members will hold four town hall meetings and sponsor an online virtual town hall to gather input.

Town Hall Meetings:

- September 16 -- 6:30 PM at the Oberndorf Central Library.

- September 17 - 6:30 PM at the Great Neck Recreation Center

- September 23 - 6:30 PM at the Kempsville High School Cafeteria

- September 24 -- 6:00 PM at the Municipal Center, Building 19
