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.
