Back To School And The Ministerial Alliance
The school years is almost upon us and the Juneteenth Committee was called upon to help with the planning and marketing of this event. I was appointed to help the Ministerial Alliance with that part of it.
I think its going to be a good turn out as far as the kids coming out and getting the school supplies that they need for school. So that is a good thing.
Ms. LaJoy and I went to their once a month meeting this morning and told them that we will also be donating funds for the cause as well as another church that called First United Methodist which I think was wonderful for them to do.
Sad though as I was speaking with the group that handles outreach at this church she was telling me how they needed more support in the food that was donated as they were giving away far much more that they ever had. So their church will be donating money to help purchase school supplies and help out with that. Great wonderful.
One thing that I learned today was how to do only what you are asked and no more than that since people will let you take on all of it if you want.
More on the next years family reunion and the Freedmans' Bureau next week. I will also try to post some photos from the back to school rally as well.
till then
have a good week and stay tuned to tomorrow for the next episode that gave us Denzel St Elsewhere..

Scratching Backs
I know you all know the old saying. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours? Well this time I am having to make good on that and help out a loval group called the Minsiters Alliance. This group is made up of African American ministers in the Ouchita County.
Well they are going to be putting on a back to school youth rally and they would really like for the Juneteenth Committee to be the marketing team behind the success of it.
I certainly could say no to them but I am off again to help them pull this off in less than two weeks. But I just wanted to say that no doubt I will do this so that I am guaranteed that they will work with us again next year for Juneteenth 2009.
Let's see how this goes and if we can pull this off.

Where History Lives
Did you know that Camden, Arkansas can boast as having one of the only remaining Freedmen's Bureaus in the United States? Oh yes we can boast about that.
The Historical Society in Camden that also handles the Chidester house and museum purchased the building and moved it to the new location off California street in Camden.
I was reading in the Camden News how they want to have this as a building that can hold African American art and other artifacts that pertain to black history in this area.
The Freedman's Bureau was where African Americans went to get established in the his area call Eco Fabre back in the day or the Ouachita. So I thought that was interesting.
They would like to work with the black community to get the building back to the period that it came from. I am excited about this and you know I am going to be giving the Historical Society a call this week!
Keep you posted
