From Executive Director Stu Mills:
In the Summertime, When the Weather is Fine…
It’s pretty hard to imagine frolicking around the grounds at a party when we’re
under a Winter Storm Warning and facing another four to eight inches of snow,
but that’s where my mind and my heart are today.
I can’t remember having more fun at a meeting here than we had last Tuesday
with the “Save SK8 Nelson” ad hoc committee. This group got off to a rousing
start in the planning of its June 27th “Super Saturday” event, and ideas were flying fast and furious. I have no doubt that this group is going to put on one
heck of a party and raise a ton of money to help pay for the liability insurance and maintenance on the
skate ramp. Keep your eyes right here for more announcements about the event, and if you have a
little time to offer, please join in the planning or volunteer at the event. Games, skating demonstrations, lessons, food, drink and music – you won’t want to miss this family-friendly party. It’s going to
be epic!
Following up on the ramp extravaganza, Saturday July 25th will bring our “Hoop Dreams” party to the
grounds. We’ve already received some significant grant funding for the project, but this event will top
off the cash we need to re-surface and re-stripe the basketball court, install new goals and more, and
this committee is just forming. I know I’ve been approached by at least a half-dozen of our members
who want to bring outdoor hoops back to the Rock, so please give Sara or me a call here at the office
to get in on the planning for another blow-out Super Saturday event!
If you and a bunch of your friends have an idea that you’d like to float for an outdoor event here this
summer, we still have one Super Saturday date open on September 26th and we’d love to help you put
it on and pull it off. Give us a call or drop us a line and we’ll get the event guidelines to you to help
you get started. And in the spirit of “adhocracy” – you’re commitment is to just one event – when the
party’s over, so is the committee!
Hot Fun In the Summertime… help us make it happen!
And thanks, as always, to all you doers out there that keep The Rock on a roll.

Sunday, 3/22: Wintergreen Performing Arts presents
The Adaskin String Trio
The Adaskin String Trio has won over audiences internationally

hailed for “vigor, precision and stylistic certitude” (Charleston Gazette) as well as “spontaneity, intensity and charm” (Peninsula Review) and the Boston Globe praised them for “directing the listener
to the heart of the matter.” Formed in 1994, the trio performs extensively throughout the United States and Canada, and has appeared
at Merkin Concert Hall in New York, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in
Washington DC, and in Boston, Los Angeles, Montreal, Nashville,

Now Open: The Rockfish River Gallery of Fine
Art & Exquisite Crafts
Kat Walsh, Betsy
Greenleaf, & Eleanor
Massie
The Rockfish River Gallery of Fine Art and Exquisite Crafts is now open! The Gallery occupies the room formerly known as the Conference Room, directly across from the front office.
As many of you know, the wonderful Valley Green Gallery closed on November 30th, after 22 years of operation. Those who were members were greatly saddened by this turn of events, as the Gallery was a great addition
to the community. One of the Gallery’s members, Kathy Bonham, decided to open a new gallery here at
RVCC. While the new gallery space is only about a third of the size of the old gallery, it will still be as varied in the
fine arts and crafts it shows as in the old gallery. Nineteen artists have stocked the gallery with paintings, photography, cards,
sculpture, jewelry, pottery, baskets, wood carvings, small hand-made furniture, candles, woven scarves, rugs and hats, glass-work
and more. The majority of the contributing artists were members of the original gallery.

Rockfish Arts Cooperative
We’re pleased to present the Rockfish Arts Cooperative, a program devoted to the development of arts classes at RVCC. These
classes are part of our ongoing mission to expand the cultural and educational programming available at our Community Center.
Over the course of the next few months, we’ll be working to convert Room 12 into a full-time teaching studio for the arts. The
studio will be available for use by both residential and guest instructors, and will offer a wide variety of classes and workshops.
RVCC will also be seeking funding to provide necessary materials and supplies for the studio, and any donation made to RVCC
for that purpose will be tax-deductible.
If you’d like to be involved with this project—whether it’s to teach a class, volunteer your assistance, or make a donation,
please contact RVCC at 434-361-0100 or email rockfishcc@gmail.com.

of ichi-go ichi-e—one time one meeting, being present and in the moment—that is honed in tea, is an important
practice to have in our busy and stressful lives. The sessions are based on the four principles of tea: Wa
(Harmony), Kei (Respect), Sei (Purity), and Jaku (Tranquility.)
Week I: Wa - Harmony: Intro (Why do Tea?), Bows (Shin, Gyo, So), Tea Dogu/Tea ware and their uses, Chabana
