SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONIC! F
Carver High School has
some "diamonds" who are
working in the community.
Members of the
Diamond Club for Success
donated toward a food bas
ket, which was donated to a
needy family for the
Thanksgiving holiday.
The basket contained
fresh collard greens, a
turkey, dressing, macaroni
and cheese, white potatoes,
sweet potatoes and other
items. Members of the Phi
Omega Chapter of the
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority also donated
toward the basket. Club
members believed it was
crucial to contribute to a
needy family for the holi
days.
Co-President LaSonya
Killian said, "It is impor
tant to give to the less for
tunate because you never
know when you might be
in that situation. Some peo
ple can't help their situa
tion, and they may have no
one in their corner. You
may never know when you
may hit rock bottom and
need someone."
Co-President Mashyia
Graham said. "Everybody
does not have what we may
have. It is nice to give to
people in need. ... When
you give, blessings can
return to you. 1 need all the
blessings I can get."
During the month of
October, the club focused
on Breast Cancer
Awareness by distributing
candy facts about breast
cancer. They also invited
three speakers to speak to
the club members: Sarah
Mendez, first lady of
Emmanuel Baptist Church;
Charlene Sessoms. the par
ent of Brian and Brandon
Sessoms, Carver students;
and Julia Puckett, instruc
tional coach at Carver.
More than 40 Diamond
Club members attended the
panel discussion.
"The breast cancer
awareness activities were
very educational. I learned
many facts that I was not
aware of," said Amuree
Maeweather, a Diamond
Club member. "I was par
i ;
ticularly impressed with
the positive spirit that the
women have in spite of
their illness. Mrs. Sessoms
showed great faith."
