.within each person can mean
the difference between func

percent of capacity,” Ms. Bar

•how to develop our tremen
dous reserves of potential can .
we begin to enjoy the satisfac
tion and happiness that come
;from within our own person
hood. _
“The class will consider
such questions as: How do you
develop your ability to use
0our potential? What keeps
you from using all your poten
tial? We will learn to reach
wiuiin ourselves for the under
standing and awareness that
will release our inner
strengths.”

PADA Community Develop
ment and Awards Night which
was held on Tuesday, Novem
ber 23 at the S&W Cafeteria in
the Charlottetown Mall.
Then, on Sunday, December
5, Mrs. Sullivan was surprised
by an Appreciation Dinner
which was held at her home.
The dinner was given by for
mer students of Mrs. Sullivan
who now attend East Mecklen
burg High and Randolph Ju
nior High Schools, and mem
bers of the 4-H Club in the
Grier Heights area.
The persons mostly respon
sible for the Appreciation Din
ner were: uonna HUDeri, c-in
dy Rosenberg, Mrs. Sullivan’s
daughters, Donna and Rosa
lyn Gayle, Dorothy Moss, Car
men Sloan, Delores Deese,
Debbie Massey, Vontina
Clark, Barnette Ray, Jackie
Heard, and a few family
friends.
The group said that the
Dinner was given to “show
Mrs. Sullivan how much we
lme and appreciate her for all
(R things she has done for us
throughout the years. We see
her not only as Mrs. Zelma R.
Sullivan, but as our mother.”
Mrs. Sullivan, the mother o(
four children, taught at Bil
lingsville for four years,
where she now works as a
substitute teacher, periodical
ly. She is also the 4-H leader in
the Grier Heights community.
chairperson of the campaign
with NAACP administrator
Gloster B. Current, according
to published reports.
"If everyone of us, contri
buted $1 to the NAACP, it
would be the least expensive
gift we could give to the
NAACP that would do a world
of good,’’ Mrs. Aaron was
quoted as saying.
Celebrities attending the
luncheon were Calvin Lock
hart, Vonetta McGee, John
Gilliam, Franco Harris, Dick
Gregory, Stephanie Mills,
Marilyn McCoo, Atlanta May
or Maynard Jackson and State
Sen. Julian Bond.
The campaign is being con
ducted with the aid of special
ly-prepared coupons that are
being distributed throughout
the nation by NAACP bran
ches and supporting agencies,
said the report.
NAACP dependence on or
ganizations outside the black
community in its recent effort
to raise a >1.6 million bond in
i? the Mississippi hdyeoyt case
led to this campaign, accord
ing to Mrs. Aaron.
She worked with NAACP
officials from the New York
City national office, the re
gional and branch offices in
Atlanta to prepare outlines of
the campaign. Several cele
brities also cooperated to or
ganize the luncheon, indicated
news reports.
Mrs. Aaron is vice president
of the Atlanta-based public
relations firm. First Class,
Inc.
Charlotte NAACP official
Kelly Alexander Sr. said the
local branch will emphasize a
membership drive instead of
the special campaign.
