Scholars kick off Unity House project – cleaning, painting on agenda |
| Members of the Lyford Cay Foundation Scholars Association made a special delivery to the folks of Unity House on Saturday, March 17, 2001. It’s a part of the scholars’ plan to give back a little of what the Lyford Cay Foundation has given to them. The former recipients of Foundation scholarships gave gifts of grocery items and other much-needed supplies to the residents of the home for elderly citizens. In upcoming months, scholars will spend their Saturday mornings painting the walls and cleaning the grounds a Unity House |
| More than 800 professional women and men have
passedthrough the doors of the Foundations and are now looking back to thank
the benefactors who have helped them along the way. Members of the Community Service Committee are: Cherrylee Pinder, Clark Atlanta University, ’94; Madonna Bonamy-Bethel, Acadia University, ’94; Keith Bell, UWI, ’00; Darnell Bain, Taylor University, ’87; Kimbler Romer, St Benedict University, ’98; Bridgette Seymour, Berkley University, ’99; Caralyn Adderley, Tuskegee University, ’96; Kevin Sweeting, FIU, ’97; Laura Stuart, Clark Atlanta University, ’94; Charessa Simmons, Belmont Abbey, ’93. |
