Huntleys from page A1 Bishop Huntley also does his part to make a dent in the community's problems. He tends a community garden across from the church, filling it with vegetables for everyone to harvest. "They can go up there and get anything they want," he stated. "Last year, we fed over 200 families out of that gar den." Bishop Huntley, who retired from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., repairs old computers to be utilized in the institute^ com* puter lab. An avid cook, he lends his expertise to the Institute's health ministry as well, coaching participants on how to prepare healthier meals by foregoing items such as salt. The Institute has also part nered with the NC Cooperative Extension Services to provide classes on healthy cooking and tips on stretching the rations given by the church's food pantry. The Huntleys are also active in several organizations outside the church as well. The couple holds two positions on the advisory board of Vigils for Healing, an interfaith commu nity ministry. Mrs. Huntley also serves on Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County's board of directors. Bishop Huntley participates in a Notification Program through the Winston-Salem Police Department, where resi dents confront repeat offenders about thtf damage they are doing to the community. The purpose of the program is to let those who are committing crimes know that their commu nity won't tolerate their behav ior and to help them find a way to live their lives crime-free, he says. ~ *mm "I wanted to do something to help out black, young men because so many of them are wasting their lives," he declared. Despite their busy sched ules, ("We are here more than we are at home," she says) the Huntleys say they always make time for the people of the com munity. On any given day, they can be found eating lunch with a local child at school, counsel ing a neighbor who struggles with addiction, or simply lend ing an ear to someone who needs to talk. "The biggest thing is caring for the community," she said. "You have to help people wher ever they are. That's what it's all about." The Alpha and Omega Institute is currently in need of computers that can be rehabbed and used in its com puter lab.

G. O' Kelly Library will honor the legacy of the late Evon L. Reid next month at a fundraising dinner. For nearly half a century, longtime music educator Reid devoted his life to sharing the marvel of African-American ctiurch music. But contributing back to his alma mater via his expertise in spiritual harmony was a dream left unfulfilled prior to his death. c The dinner will help to realize Reid's dream of giving back to WSSU. The Monday, April 7 event, which starts at 6:30 p.m.. will feature Dr. Kevin Sloan, choral director for the Salem Presbytery Black Caucus Mass Choir, who will present a spe cial retrospective tribute to Reid's dedication to fine religious music. The musical tribute will showcase the shift from four part hymns to unified voices of praise. Reid's musical journey dates back to 1941, when he gradu ated from Winston-Salem Teachers College (Winston-Salem State University). Reid's extended tenure as a music teacher spans several North Carolina school systems, including a posi tion with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System. His passion for church music steered him to serve as church choral director in Winston-Salem for more than 40 years, dur ing the period when church music changed radically. Reid's tenure as a church musician includes service at United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church. St. Paul United Methodist Church and St. Philips Moravian Church. Reid, who was recently honored with a Special Tribute Award at The Chronicle's 25th Annual Community Service Awards, died last year. The dinner will be held in McNeil Banquet Hall of the Anderson Center at Winston-Salem State. Tickets cost $40 each and includes a three-course dinner.
