as donating food to a homeless shelter, donating toys at Christmas
to the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services, participating
in the telethon for the Georgia Public Television (GPTV) and a telethon
for the Children's Miracle Network (which supports Eggleston/Scottish
Rite Hospital for children). We have awarded six scholarships to deserving
college students. We have made financial contributions to the APEX
Museum, the Children's Miracle Network and to five families who lost
their homes during a terrible tornado in Alabama. We have worked as
volunteers for the Black Arts Festival, the Black Family Reunion,
and the APEX Museum. We have raised funds for the Aids Walk, the Sickle
Cell Road Race, the 100 Black Men of Dekalb County Ride for Charity,
the
BMW Drive for Breast Cancer, and Hands on Atlanta. We have delivered
hot meals to the elderly through the Dekalb County Meals on Wheels
project and Ensure milk to senior citizens by way of the Senior Connections
Program.
