On behalf of the Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Organization, Sussex County, we would
like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to everyone who helped make
the 35th Annual Commemorative Weekend Celebration a success! Together, as a community, we
honored and paid tribute to the life and legacy of the late Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Our theme this year, "Let
Justice Roll Down Like Water" reminded us of the on-going struggle
for racial justice in so many areas of our lives. We were so happy to once
again hold our annual banquet after a two year hiatus due to the
pandemic. Our thanks to the CHEER
Center for their support! We want to
recognize the contributions of Mr. Peter Clark, our keynote speaker, Mr.
Bryan Clark for providing music throughout the evening and one of our
Founders, Rev. Dr. William T. Wallace, who served as Master of Ceremonies. Our first “in person”
Worship Service in two years was held at Trinity Faith Christian Center. We are grateful to Bishop A.D. Jones and
congregation for their kind hospitality.
Thank you to the Rev. Gary L. Meekins, Pastor of Harmony United
Methodist Church, Millsboro, DE for his stirring message of hope, Mrs. Nika
Drew Reid for an outstanding job serving as Worship Leader and all the
speakers, dancers and musicians who made the service so meaningful. And Thank You to this
wonderfully supportive community, to all of you who attended the Banquet and/or
the Worship Service or rendered your support by purchasing Ads in our
souvenir booklet. Once again, in faithful
support of our mission, the Cape Gazette published a full page ad to
commemorate the weekend. We are so grateful for their continued support and
for the support of all the businesses and organizations who contributed to
the cost of the ad. A special thank you to all
who donated to our scholarship fund so far this year. Your support is always needed and
appreciated in perpetuating and nurturing the legacy, the vision and the
dream of Dr. King. Donations to the
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Organization may be made to P.O Box
781, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.
Contributions will help fund scholarships for deserving youth in
Sussex County and the on-going work of the Organization. As we continue our efforts to make the
Dream a Reality, we solicit your prayers and support to help us achieve our
mission in 2023. Thank You and God Bless! Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Celebration Organization of Sussex County, Inc. |
