EARTH'S FRIENDS

I moved to Virginia Beach March 31.

I am grateful to the Virginia Living Museum of Newport News for providing an Earth Day celebration. Hampton Roads is full of things to do and places to go. I am pleased that the Virginia Living Museum remembers the Earth.

That an Earth Day celebration exists says to me that this region is a community with an environmental soul.
