Friday's event, which drew more than four dozen people to Goler Community Development Corporation Building, was designed to spread Faith Seeds' mission to the broader commu nity. Guests included communi ty leaders like NAACP President Stephen Hairston and State Rep. Barline Parmon: Assistant Police Chief Louis Saunders was there too.
