ASALH South Florida’s Founder’s Day celebration was a success beyond what we could have imagined. The space was standing room only, with between 90 and 100 attendees. Dr. Hobson delivered a powerful and timely message, as did Senator Osgood in her acceptance speech. Beyond that, we raised nearly $500 in contributions through Eventbrite and 4 new members so far…and counting.
There were several elected officials in attendance: Broward Commissioner Hazel Rogers, Broward County School Board Member Jeff Holness, City of Fort Lauderdale Vice Mayor Pamela Beasley-Pittman, and City of Oakland Park Commissioner Letitia Newbold.
Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making this happen. Sheryl Dickey, for the use of the Midtown Commerce Center and for delivering the invocation. Kisha King for doing such a wonderful job as our mistress of ceremonies. Woody Clermont for introducing our speaker. Dr. Joan Cartwright for facilitating all the payments and reconfiguring our membership payment page. Ramona LaRoche for serving as our greeter last evening.
