Dr. Joycelyn Elders Speaks at SCLC Community Luncheon
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Joycelyn Elders, former U.S. Surgeon General under President Bill Clinton. She was the keynote speaker for the SCLC Community Luncheon held at the Marriott Hotel - Imperial Ballroom. People have said that she is a no-nonsense - tell it like it is person when it comes to health care. Well, they're right! She shoots straight from the hip and let everyone know her views on personal health care and health care education. During the luncheon, two local doctors were recognized for their community support. Dr. Herman Watson received the President's Award and Dr. Jasper Fullard received the Community Service Award.Below are some of the photo highlights.

SCLC Interfaith Service by Royal Photograhy
Sunday afternoon, SCLC continued their partnership with The Jewish Community Relations Bureau and American Jewish Community by taking part in their annual “Interfaith Service.” The service was held at the Community Christian Church, 4601 Main St., KCMO and a record number of attendants packed the church. This event is one of many activities that are scheduled during the month of January in celebration of Dr. King’s national holiday. During the Interfaith Service, Bunni Copaken, Community Volunteer with Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey, was given the 2012 Evelyn Wasserstrom award. Music was provided by the SCLC Mass Youth Choir and Tim Whitmer & Everette DeVan. A special dance celebration was rendered by “The Beloved Community” dancers; choreography by Rev. Michelle Harris-Gloyer. The guest speaker for the afternoon was well known writer, Leonard Pitts, Jr.
