VALDOSTA – The NCNW has openings available for organizations and vendors for the 9th Annual Community-Wide Family Reunion.
Release:
The Valdosta-Lowndes Section of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), a nationally recognized 501 C3 organization, has open slots for vendors, churches, businesses, and organizations during their upcoming 9th Annual Community-Wide Family Reunion, which will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Scott Park located at 1101 Old Statenville Rd. The event is free and open to the entire community. All donations and sponsorships are tax deductible. The family-themed event will have live entertainment, vendors on site, free resources, and games for the entire community.
“NCNW is committed to not only celebrating families in our community but also providing resources along with a day of entertainment to remind them of the importance of working and supporting one another. It is my vision to expand not only on Dr. Height’s intention but to continually impact as many families as we can through this initiative,” stated newly elected Section President, Attorney Karla Walker.
Historically, NCNW’s fifth National Chair and President, the late Dr. Dororthy Irene Height, envisioned a family reunion celebration in 1986 to unify African American communities and amplify the historic strengths and values of their legacies. Moreover, the Valdosta-Lowndes Section established a similar vision to incorporate celebrating families and unity throughout the community through this celebration.
“We are about serving others and our community. Over the past two years, we have been unable to host this event due to the pandemic, but now we are back on track and ready to provide a family filled day of free resources and fun for everyone,” stated 2018-2022 Section President, Dr. Jamie Foster-Hill.
To be a sponsor, vendor or to provide a free service to local families, contact NCNW 229-234-2353 or ncnwofvaldosta@gmail.com. ALL families are encouraged to come out and receive resources and celebrate families in the Valdosta-Lowndes community and surrounding areas.
