Virginia Blue Crab Appetizers In the Virginia summer, blue crab is king.

The sweet, succulent flavor of this Chesapeake Bay delicacy excites people all summer long as it finds its way onto menus in a wide variety of dishes. Unfortunately, over-harvesting and pollution have made the blue crab not only scarce, but also even more expensive, sometimes forcing its delicious taste out of people’s price range. This class looks to change all that by offering ideas for crabmeat that won’t rock the wallet. We will make great appetizer and starter dishes that incorporate the quality and flavor of the blue crab, while also pairing it with other great flavors to provide balance and value. The class will also provide a look into the crabbing industry, discussing the past and future of this great natural resource. T Date: Monday, July 26 Time: 6-9 p.m.

COMMUNICATIONS & WRITING

Communications & Writing Building Better Stories You love your characters. You think your plot is intriguing, but on the page your story falls flat. Focusing on something more basic, the building blocks that give a story’s structure, can give good ideas the foundation they need to succeed. We will revisit some of those “boring” basics you sat through in high school things like points of view and verb tenses. But this time, we’ll do it with an eye toward improving our own fiction.

Explore examples of stories where the writer’s choices are what make the story work, and learn how different choices could have weakened the final product.

Inclusion Forum: Moving from Confusion to Clarity If you’re ready to discuss issues related to race, gender, religion and other “hot button” topics, and would like some help with starting the conversation, we’re here for you!

This is where you can come to ask questions and to share insights regarding inclusion and exclusion. We will discuss how to deal with the challenges facing our communities and workplaces. Learn to communicate about differences, without creating unmanageable conflict; explore the repurcussions of the past in a way that is supportive and healing; overcome fear of offending, by learning how to communicate respectfully; respond tactfully and effectively to offensive remarks; share your insights; establish a broader mindset; and avoid exclusion, based on perceived or real differences, by understanding how it threatens our shared future.

Generation Gaps and Traps It is so important to welcome people of diverse backgrounds who bring different perspectives to the workplace. It is a strategic advantage for most companies who encourage diversity. Yet when we think of diversity, we usually think of race and gender. Age is an important element in developing a diverse team as well. And for the first time in the history of the industrialized world, four generations of people are finding themselves working side by side! It is imperative that companies not only satisfy the needs of the established Baby Boomers and Traditionalists who hold most of the jobs, but attract the talented tech savvy Gen X and Millennial employees and customers if they are to be successful. The different generations don’t always understand each other or see eye-to-eye. With education and communication, the generational gaps can be bridged and successfully navigated. This is a fun topic that takes a look at the past and the future in order to ensure that all generations are appreciated, valued and optimized in the workplace and the marketplace.

Clear, compelling, and persuasive written products are essential for telling your nonprofit’s story, and for attracting the support you need to reach new heights.

This workshop will equip you with the tools to improve your organization’s writing as you communicate with diverse audiences, from donors (existing and potential) to volunteers to the general public. We will discuss the often difficult realities of the writing process – especially “writing by committee” in organizations – and earn how to apply tried-and-true tips for good writing, such as “know your audience” and “revise, revise...and revise again.” We will analyze both amazing and awful writing from other nonprofits, and carefully assess your own organization’s products. A particular focus will be on preparing a mission statement for your organization in a format proven to be both effective in fundraising and inspiring to staff, boards, and volunteers. We will also consider the challenges and opportunities of new venues, such as electronic communications and social media.
