Message from the Chair Scroll Award for Jack Volume 46 Number 2 December 2014 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Hello Dancers, We are now in the middle of our winter formal season. A big thank you goes to Ann McBride for once again chairing a very suc- cessful St. Andrew’s Ball. Special thanks go to Doris Fisher, Kris McGinnis and Kim Baily for their hard work preparing the evening’s din- ner. Next up is the Orange County Christmas Ball (Dec. 13) followed by our Hogmanay (Dec. 31) and the LA/OC Burns Supper & Ball (Jan. 24). This year we have a new (to us) band for Burns: StringFire!. They are from the Bay Area and have played at the Hawaii workshop for many years. Please plan to come and enjoy dancing to their music. At the AGM I mentioned that we planned to begin work on our 50th anniversary events.

  • Congratulations on 100 Years, NAACP Pasadena! I Appreciate Your Dedication to Providing Equal Opportunities Through Jobs and Education in Our Community
    Congratulations on 100 years, NAACP Pasadena! I appreciate your dedication to providing equal opportunities through jobs and education in our community. @SupervisorBarger @KathrynBarger @SupervisorKathrynBarger KathrynBarger.LACounty.gov NAACP 2 MESSAGE FROM BRANCH PRESIDENT, ALLEN EDSON Greetings, Tonight, the Pasadena Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is celebrating our Centennial in Pasadena, at the 34th Annual Ruby McK- night Williams Awards Dinner. Thank you all for celebrating this historic achievement with us. The Pasadena Branch has strived for what is right and will continue to fight for what is right in the City of Pasadena. Diversity and inclusion have long been the hallmarks of the Branch since its founding by John Wright, September 8, 1919, before it was fashionable, in all aspects of life in Pasadena. The Branch lead the court battle for the desegregation of the Brookside Plunge, the selection of the Rose Queen and her Court, and the desegregation of the Pasadena Unified School District. If you were to take an informal poll of the African American residents of Pasadena, they will all express their love for Pas- adena, without providing any specific reason. Growing up in a family environment where the NAACP was front and center in the conversation, I surmise that their love for Pasadena is due to the work of the NAACP and the courage we have instilled in the community, to let their voices be heard. The Branch continues fighting for what is right, and to be successful, we need to work together as a community. The NAACP has joined with the Interdenominational Ministrial Alliance (IMA), in a Civic Engagement Project for the 2020 Election cycle.
