| A Touch of Africa The Bower Hill Community Church outdid itself with their Touch of Africa event. The food was delicious; the drumming was energizing, (though the Board Members striving to dance with abandon left a great deal to be desired) and the storyteller mesmerized everyone with her own story of the first day she spent in a previously segregated school.
Our thanks to all the people on the Mission Committee. |
