As you all know our own Cookie Bonner coordinated with the First Missionary Baptist Church Praise Dancers. We collected $500 to assist the young dancers with new uniforms. Your financial support was appreciated as was the encouragement for these wonderful young dancers. Pictures will be sent to us from the sponsor allowing our club members to see how nice these youngsters look in their new attire. Thanks to all who gave from your hearts so that these young people will feel good about themselves as they dance for the Lord. Good job AACC and Ms. Cookie! Juneteeth was celebrated in the Lodge on June 20. It was suggested that each family bring their own entrée and one dish to share. It was a success.
