I have lived in Richmond, VA for the past 70 years. I was born in Farmville, VA where schools were closed rather than be integrated. I was formerly the Movie Circle Convener, a Facilitator and a Member of the Leadership Team. I saw an article in a newspaper about a meeting of CTTT-RVA at a Church close to where I live and decided to attend my first meeting on December 16th, 2016. At my first meeting I was impressed with and was in accord with the mission of the organization and the four legs of the organization. As a member of CTTT-RVA, I feel that I have developed some very lasting relationships and developed a sense of trust with persons of very diverse backgrounds. My motto at this age is “Learn today, like you are going to live forever.” I continue to participate in CTTT-RVA activities, events and trips because in addition to learning, I am able to experience a wider circle of family love from my new relationships.
