Gala held
The Wakulla County Christian Coalition held its annual Arthur Andrews Scholarship Gala on Friday night, the traditional kickoff to a weekend of Black History activities. (Sgt. Andrews was a Wakulla veteran of the Vietnam War who was killed there.) Friday night’s gala honored clergy – from above left, Jocelyn Hayes accepted recognition on behalf of her father, Samuel Hayes, who was in the hospital and unable to attend; Elder Patrick White, center, and Damon Rich, with his wife Tamika, who was mistress of ceremonies for the gala. Damon Rich was also the keynote speaker for the night and spoke about identity, and who we are and who am I becoming? ‘Let God rename you,’ he said. And urged the audience to take time to slow down and listen. All these questions, he said, were the second most important questions to ask oneself. The most important, he said, was ‘do I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior?’ (Photos by William Snowden)

As we prepared to host an open house last week, I looked over at the conference table where a lot of food was laid out – too much food, it seemed to me at the time.
I was wrong.
A couple of hours later, all that food was gone.
Thanks to all the people who came out on Thursday evening for an Open House/Chamber After Hours event. It was an opportunity for us to say thanks to so many people in the community who have supported the newspaper over these four years.
There was a good crowd, good food and conversation.

Their session will focus on a topic they know well and have spent months mastering: the art and impact of podcast production.
