SCLC | Thank You "Fuzzy"

This past Friday evening, Rev. Nelson "Fuzzy" Thompson, president of the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was given an appreciation ceremony for his leadership, service and dedicated civil rights moral beliefs. The ceremony took place at the Metropolitan Spiritual Church of Christ, KCMO and a packed church house. Friends from all across the state and country came to celebrate in his honor. It's always warming to hear words from the heart on what others think about your impact on others lives. I've known Rev. Thompson for years and still have not been told why they call him "Fuzzy". Maybe someone will be able to tell me.

Stay tuned for more highlights and features in the coming week.
