The program was first !
presented five years ago by the <

since the growth of Surry Con- i

the minority businesses in and <
around Surry County, that it was 1
time these people were given their 1
due recognition.
"I just hope that vwhat effort
we put forth will make the whole i
community more aware that it *
takes everyone working together
in order to succeed and reach new 1
heights in whatever task has been i
set forth," said Joyce. (
"We are minorities and still
need to get more involved with c
issues that affect us, our children i
and their children, whether it be
going to city council meetings, t
school board meetings, county 5
meetings, etc. We just need to get t
