Day at the Races at Tampa Downs was a great success! Elegant ladies in their hats and dapper gentlemen came to fellowship, watch exciting races and enjoy a delicious buffet.
Everyone had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again next year.

The Scholarship Fundraising Cruise was truly awesome! Members, families , and friends left Tampa, Florida in great expectation. Some of the "newbies" to cruising were very excited. From delicious cuisine to relaxing on the beach, games, shows, spa time and everything in between, the cruisers definitely had a wonderful time. Cruising with us was Reverend Kenneth Buie of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, who facilitated a Sunday morning service that was spirit filled. One cruiser won a gold record for her participation in "Name That Tune". Congratulations Cynthia! Another cruiser was recognized for his service in the military. Congratulations Chris!
It was a cruise that generated funds for the Scholarship Program. The Club will continue awarding needed funds for the community's high school graduates. Thank you everyone!

The African American History celebration was very informative and a good time was had by everyone.

The guest speaker Dr. Viennesse Timmons-Black was the official griot for the day. She told the history of the Spring Hill Cemetery in Brooksville, FL. The Cemetery is a historic site that is being preserved to honor the ancestors who are buried there. Additionally, a film of one of Dr. Ralph Abernathy's speeches was shared by the Black History Month committee.

Recognition was given to the Life Members who are 90 years young or older. They are Beatrice Colber, Howard Brown, Irma Ramsey, Colinnettee and Donell Spears.
