SAGE’s Central Virginia Chapter Now Official

In a newsletter sent yesterday by project coordinator Shannon Marling, she announced the news and information about other projects coming up for SAGE in Richmond. The Fourth Sunday Speaker Series continues with topics on abuse and neglect in February and alzheimer’s in March.
The organization is also working with Bon Secours Hospice Services on an LGBT Grief and Loss Support group that will run Tuesdays from 6:30 – 8 p.m. from March 1 – April 26.
