Hello, hello, hello! To all of my dear friends and readers, I want to start off by thanking all of the 300 guests, from all walks of life, who supported me and my organization’s fundraiser, the Rosa Pryor Music Scholarship Fund Gospel Prayer Breakfast that was March 19. It was an awesome, sold out, successful event. Thanks to you who sent donations and purchased tickets and was there to see everything first-hand. I want to also thank all the members for their strong support in selling their tickets for this event.
Added to a special thanks is to Pastor Lee Michaels, who gave an inspiring sermonette that brought our guest to their feet; Barbara Nicholson, as my mistress of ceremony, kept the program very professional and organized; our God-sent musicians, singers and fantastic gospel groups, Remnants of Annapolis, Wilson Park Male Chorus and Katie “KT” Davenport, who kept our guests entertained, rejoicing, clapping their hands, patting their feet and shouting in the aisles. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and the children who will be receiving the profit from this event thank you, too.
