Well, with me that would make two. :wink: Seriously, I've been out of pocket for a while but have started rechecking this board. I hadn't heard about any Richmond area meetings. Maybe we can drum up some interest.

Sorry I never saw your reply, but I'd be interested. There has to be more than just the 2 of us that are local to Richmond.

Is there any life to the Richmond VA Chapter? I've only been on the forum for about a year, but definitely interested in meeting like minded investors.
Maybe get a group together while sampling some of our local micro-brews? :happy

I moved out of state, so someone else needs to take this over. There were only a couple people in the area and we were never able to meet up.

Long time lurker, first time poster so I could respond.

Out in Goochland in Manakin-Sabot. Feel free to PM me if you plan to set up a meeting.

Looks like enough to get a booth at O'Charley's now :happy

My first post is also a chime in to join a local BH group. I live in Midlo but would be all over a meetup at one of the new pubs in Scott's Addition.

Bon air. Definitely interested. I'm also an avid listener of the choosefi podcast which is put on by a guy in short pump and a guy in bon air. I know they have a Richmond local group. Maybe we could set something up with both as both groups preach a very similar message.

Thoughts?

Ok everyone, Mel's going to post something up as well, but I'm going to take a stab and getting the Richmond Chapter resurrected.

Here's my contact information:

Jeff
RVABogleHeads@gmail.com

First gathering will be at Tazza Kitchen, Tuesday June 4th @ 5:00.
https://www.tazzakitchen.com/location/shortpump/

Please email me your name (first name only is fine) and screen name if you plan on attending, so I can get a headcount and reserve the proper size space. This will be very informal/casual and all are welcome.

I look forward to meeting some of our fellow BH's! See ya'll in a couple of weeks.

I got tied up so Jeff beat me to it. It's official; Jeff is the new Local Chapter Coordinator for the Richmond VA Chapter. I'll be adding his contact information to the Local Chapters Map so others can find and contact you

Thanks to Jeff for stepping up. My very best to him and all the Richmond-area Bogleheads.

Just noticed this thread. I'd be interested in future meetings but on 6/25 I'll be in Europe with my son so won't be able to attend that one.

My wife and I should be able to make the June 25 meeting. However, we are doing some home renovations.
If the renovations take much longer than expected then we may not be able to attend.

Hi - just seeing this as well, live in Bon Air. May be able to meet - but sounds like the 25th may not work for a lot of folks. Will PM and get on board for updates. Great!
