Afro-American historical society kicks off membership drive Charles Weldon Wadelington, a consultant with the North Carolina Department of Resources, will be the featured speaker at the Society for the Study of Afro-American History's Open House program Sunday, Feb. 12, from 4 to 6 p.m. The ceremony is being held to make the public aware that Winstott-Salem State University has donated the office space for the organization. The second purpose of the occasion is to kick off the soci ety's 1989 membership drive. The organization collects, pre serves and disseminates information on local Afro- American history. Wadelington, a graduate of WSSU, is considered an authority on Afro-American history. He studied ethnic history at Bowling Green Uni versity and received a master's degree in Constitutional history. Wadelington has published tips on collecting and preserving black family history and a guide to planning a successful black family reunion.

The contribution will be used specifically to produce a training manual for local agencies to help them recruit more volunteers from minority communities.lt is expected that by 1990, the proportion of black children living with one parent will represent almost 60 percent of all black children compared to 17 per cent of all children who reside with only one parent In many communities with Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs, the racial composition of children who need and want Big Brothers or Sisters is not reflected in the volunteer pool. As a result, many minority children remain on waiting lists, some for as long as two to three years. The prob lem is especially acute for black youth where waiting lists often com prise up to 75 percent of the waiting list total. "We believe the new recruitment manual will help end the severe short age of minority volunteers," said Tom Donahoe, president of Pacific Telesis Foundation. "One of our primary goals is to enable organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters to make measurable difference through their programs in our California communi ties and across the country." The goal of the Minority Mentor ship Campaign is to assist local Big Brothers/Big Sisters agencies in obtaining more minorities to serve as Big Brothers and Big Sisters, provid ing one-to-one friendships for chil dren from single-parent homes. % TEEN TALK to present FOCUS Theatre Group of Charlotte ' On Feb. 10, at 7:30 pjri., TEEN TALK is presenting the FOCUS The atre Group of Charlotte as the special tec and parent event for the winter qu-^er.
