Hello everyone, I hope everything is well on your end. I first want to thank all who supported the Rosa Pryor Music Scholarship Fund Gospel Prayer Breakfast Fundraiser. It was a success. Thanks to you and the fantastic entertainers who donated their talent and time, we raised enough money for another gifted child. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My emcees, Carlton and Darlene Douglass were outstanding and funny and did a great job of keeping the program going. “Just Being Blessed” and “Heavenly Bless Gospel Group” gifted the guests with their gospel tunes. Michelle Middleton, the Mime Dancer mesmerized the guests with her facial, hand and body expressions, some guests had tears in their eyes and then there was the gospel soloist, Nina Dennard who voice was like a gospel angel with a harp. Thanks to Minister Lamont Brown Jr. of Zion Baptist Church, who delivered a heartwarming sermon that garnered for him a standing ovation at the end.
