Companies, students partner to replace West End Manor Civic Association’s roof
For several years, the people at West End Manor Civic Association, a nonprofit neighborhood-betterment organization in the heart of Henrico’s Brookland District, watched their roof slowly deteriorate. Without the funds to repair it, the destruction of their building seemed inevitable.
Then, thanks to the generosity of four construction companies, the restoration of their roof became a hands-on learning opportunity for students at Henrico’s Career and Technical Education Program.
For Henrico Police Athletic League, ‘there’s no place like home’
Reflecting on his past, retired NBA player Johnny Newman recalled being greatly influenced by the morals found in the Wizard of Oz: respect, perseverance and hope.
Now, as board president of the Henrico Police Athletic League, a nonprofit that works to foster positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the Henrico community, he hopes that PAL participants will truly believe that “there’s no place like home.”
