NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

Over 300 persons attended the NAACP's recent Freedom Fund Banquet on Saturday December 10, 2005. It was the first of many to come. Basically it's a fundraiser. Music was provided by UMES Jazz Band. The speaker was Stephen Peter's, noted Educator.

His presentation was excellent. It was practical. I particularly liked how he connected his presentation and life to God.

There was a book signing after the presentation. All the books were sold.

The following persons and organizations were honored:

Dr. Eddie Boyd Glenwood Haywood
Joe Morse SHORE-UP Inc.
Del. Rudy Cane American Legion

Hopefully, the organization's membership will increase, and the group will acquire some unselfish workers to address some of those issues Stephen mentioned in his presentation.
