"Catch the Spirit of Davis Chapel"

 

Dear Friends:

 

 

Davis Chapel Church in North Richmond is seeking donations of $1.00 or more to help them save and complete their church. Please review the video "Catch the Spirit of Davis Chapel" video. You can help the cause by donating and sending the video link to family and friends on your Facebook, My Space, Twitter, and email list today. We hope that you are compelled to ask them to send it to their family and friends and so on. We pray that this chain of outreach and giving is not broken. Their goal is for this video to go viral and touch people around the world. This is our Prayer.  Let's show some support and donate a $1.00 or more.

HEALTH

 

Aftermath of Proposition N

 

By: Brazell H. Carter, MDpropn

 

Proposition N, the tax initiative aimed at fighting obesity by taxing foods containing excessive amounts of sugar was a noble idea.  Unfortunately it was ill conceived as it unfairly created a rise in food costs for residents of the city of Richmond, fortunately it was defeated.  As a physician I agree that for obvious health reasons we need to drastically decrease the consumption of sugar in our diets.  We also need to decrease the amounts of fat and salt in our diets and emphasize exercise as a balanced approach to better health.

 

The health of Richmond community and inevitably the health of the nation will hinge on our ability to better educate the populace around making wise choices in our dietary selections.  If we are to truly address this issue, let us dedicate our efforts toward building a health education/medical center in Richmond.  We could not only provide information about health for the community, but we could also provide a modern medical clinic to attract more physicians to the city of Richmond.  Currently health services in the city of Richmond are limited and are likely to fall short of expected needs with the advent of Obamacare.  Many Richmond residents seek medical care outside of the city a trend likely to increase in the future.  Dr. William Jenkins, a practicing pediatrician in the city of Richmond for over fifty years died recently, it would be quite an honor to dedicate a medical facility in his name to further serve the people of Richmond.
