APV December Salon at Helens
No guest speakers this month, instead we gather to celebrate the end of another year and the promise of 2014. We’re honored once again to have live music by the Tim Harding Quartet.
Please join us Monday, December 9th, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. as APV continues our monthly Salon at Helen’s.
The second Monday of each month APV invites members and guests to a casual, after work get together at Helen’s Restaurant, 2527 West Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220 for a complimentary light dinner (cash bar for wine, cocktails and beer).
This December marks the end of our third year as an organization as well as the beginning of our fourth year of Salons at Helens. We’re proud of the hard work we’ve done this year and we are getting ready for a busy new year with a new Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General, we’ll talk a little about our past and our plans for the future, but then we’re going to take a break and enjoy ourselves and you are invited! This should be a great chance to talk with other members and staff and a lot of fun.
So please join us for a great evening–and bring a friend!
Our Hearts go out to Senator Creigh Deeds and his Family
We are deeply saddened to hear of the severe wounding of Sen. Deeds and the death of his son Gus in an incident at their home this morning. Our thoughts are with Creigh and his family tonight.

APV Documentary Film Festival: Into Eternity, 2009
Join us Saturday December 14th for the final film in our 2013 Documentary Film Festival, “Into Eternity”. APV will host a 2pm matinee showing of this award winning 2009 film at the historic Byrd Theatre in Richmond Virginia. Admission is free to the public and we will be gathering afterwards to discuss the topics raised.
“Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storage, which is vulnerable to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and to societal changes. In Finland the world’s first permanent repository is being hewn out of solid rock — a huge system of underground tunnels – that must last 100,000 years as this is how long the waste remains hazardous.”
Here’s the link to the Trailer

Candidate Forum
APV was a prime mover in organizing the May 8th candidate forum here in Richmond and we are proud to announce it was a great success. Our thanks go out to Sen. Herring and Mr. Fairfax who are running for Attorney General and Mr. Chopra and Sen. Northam who are running for Lt. Governor for participating. All the candidates made strong presentations and Virginia would be well served to have any of them in office. Special thanks to Dr. Kim Allen who moderated tonight’s event and to the Gay Community Center of Richmond for hosting. Also a special thanks to APV Deputy Policy Director Roland Winston who was our point man on this event.
