He'll stop stareing at the bride and he'll speak....
THE BLUES CITY CULTURAL CENTER

This center began in 1979 with two great people, Levi and Deborah Frazier who were married in a union about one year after starting this most helpful civic project. Their commitment led not only to a marriage, but a union bonding them together to help aid a community with education, housing and development, social programming and aiding help with homeless mothers. This weekend will mark the celebrating of 30 years of service. The Blues City Cultural Center hasbecome a well renowned organization that continues to up lift the community. The special guest and honorees will be saluted for thier participation in this great celebration. Congratulations from "A Little Southern News!" As always, I only report a little news, but you can find out more regarding the charitable functions of this organization by contacting the following web site: http://bcccmemphis.org.

HERE'S YA'LL TIP
MISS GUSSIE MAES HAS IT:
wHEN Ya'll is dining out, always greet with a smile, and use your manners at the table. That's for laides and Gents...and whispering at the table is always an NO! NO!

Git on the bus!
I'm leeving.
I'm so thankful you came to read.

Yes, I do dress up as a bride often when I perform poetry, but I also live everyday to the fullest as being a bride of Christ. I'm not ashamed to wear the wedding dress.
