Selma was a wonderful success and the conversations during the post-reception were interesting to say the least. Thank you all for coming out.

There are two films remaining in our 2nd annual Black History Film Festival. These selections include GET ON UP, a 2014 American biographical musical film of James Brown’s rise from extreme poverty to become one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century (February 12); and, DEVOTION, an aerial war epic and true story of two elite US Navy fighter pilots (one black/one white) during the Korean War, who risk their lives and become the Navy’s most celebrated wingmen (February 18). Please get your tickets; I promise you will have an enjoyable afternoon.

Films begin at 3:00 p.m. sharp in Freedom Hall. Tickets ($10) are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking the link(s) below or www.aahc.scaclub.org or purchased at the door or through the Activities Office.  Each showing will be followed by a small reception to eat, drink and share your thoughts. We hope to see you there. Click the link below:

As you may know the annual BHM day of celebration is Saturday, February 22 from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in Independence Center. Doors open at 11:00 a.m. to allow for some shopping with our vendors. Guest speakers include MarQue Munday, Director, Miss Juneteenth Nevada and Mr. Athar Haseebullah, Executive Director of the ACLU. A delectable soul food dinner of rib tips, grilled chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, sweet yams and cornbread can be purchased for $15. Plan to come join us as we celebrate Black heritage through guest speakers, vendors, food, and fun. This is a free event.

Note: Tickets for the soul food meal are going fast, and we only have a limited number of tickets remaining. We encourage you to purchase your tickets by February 12th so that your lunch is reserved. There is no guarantee that you will receive a dinner at the February 22 event; we're ordering a certain number of dinners based on what is sold in advance. This is a first come first serve.

Carolyn Fortune and I will be available at the sales ticket desk across from Activities office on February 12 from 10 AM until 11:30 a.m. for you to purchase your tickets. Tickets will also be available at the film festival. I repeat: You won't want to miss this delightful soulful meal consisting of rib tips, grilled chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes, and cornbread.  And stay for the party afterwards. There will be dancing and music for your enjoyment. And don't forget to BYOB. 

The party continues....
