Planned
For Sickle Cell ?
A i '"T* .1 ww . ? - - -
i ogetner in unity,'' a social club composed of members
of a Masonic order, will sponsor a Dance for Sickle
Cell, Saturday, October 21, 1978 at the Benton Con
vention Center.
This is the club's fourth year of operation, and their aim
is to provide free services where needed in their com
munity. Such services consist of donations to churches
in the area, Boys Gub, and the Crisis Control
programs.
John Hart is president of the organization. Alfred
Adams serves as vice-president and treasurer, and
Clifton Hines is secretary.
Sickle cell is a non-contagious, inherited blood defect.
Sickle cell anemia is a tragic burden for millions of
black people. Funds are needed for free testing, edu
cation, and counseling.
Donations may be made through one of the cochairmen
for the Ball. They are : Junius Rogers, 814
Woodcote Street; 788-6538; and Albert Wardlow, 1541
Attucks Street, 722-8964 or 761-0278.
