We have another opportunity on Saturday, December 2 nd. We are hosting our Gingerbread Workshop, which consists of guests coming in and making gingerbread houses and learning new recipes for ginger-based foods. We will need volunteers from 11:30 am-5:00 pm to assist with:
- Guest check-in
- Workshop helpers
- Event clean-up (you do not need to worry about set-up as that will happen on the previous Friday)
- General event help
If you are able to assist the whole day or part of the day, please let me know as soon as possible! There will be two volunteer shifts - 11:30 am-2:00 pm and 2:00 pm-5 pm, and we would prefer to have five people per shift. You are also welcome to take on the entire 11:30-5:00 time slot if you’re feeling brave and helpful! Remember that after 25 volunteer hours, you receive a free individual membership to the Branch (a $55 value!!!).

About The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design
Location:
2501 Monument Avenue, Richmond, VA 23220, US
Mission Statement
The Branch elevates awareness of the transformative power of architecture and design.
Description
Architect John Russell Pope’s Tudor-Revival design for prominent financier John Kerr Branch resulted in a 27,000-square-foot residence featuring eleven levels; a chapel-like studio; and fireproofing by means of concrete floors and masonry walls. With its long gallery, great hall, commodious library and dining room on the main floor, the house, completed in 1919, provided ample space for displaying the Branches’ extensive collection of European tapestries, textiles, and furnishings.
Pope also designed the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the National Archives, and the West Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as well as Richmond’s Broad Street Station (now the Science Museum of Virginia). His residence for the Branch family is the only individual Monument Avenue building listed on the National Register of Historic Places and awarded landmark status by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Richmond.
In 2003, the Virginia Center for Architecture Foundation purchased the landmark Tudor-Revival mansion designed by John Russell Pope, one of America’s major architects. This museum on Monument Avenue, serving the Commonwealth, expands exponentially the Foundation’s ability to provide exhibitions and programs to educate and entertain Virginians and visitors, and transforms it from its beginnings as a scholarship fund to a public cultural institution.
