You are invited to be part of this social networking event on Saturday, April 17, 2010, reception at 6:00 pm, dinner at 7:00 pm in the Park Place Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre, Dartmouth. Tickets purchased at $100.00 per seat provide funds to support critical parts of the Centre’s educational programs. Tables for 10 and other opportunities for support are available.
The evening is planned to recognize six Nova Scotians who helped create the Black Cultural Centre as a permanent reminder of who and what African Nova Scotians are. The evening will honour:
A special "Freedom Award" will be presented to the heroes or their family to celebrate the result of their outstanding efforts.
The keynote speaker is Rod Dixon, NASA scientist and inventor from Ontario (via Bermuda). Mr. Dixon was part of a special team creating the revolutionary “CAN ARM” device that brought much recognition to Canada’s space program. He will present his exciting account of life in aerospace technology.
Special entertainment will be provided by the gifted gospel tenor, Mr. Marcel Symonds of Halifax. We can always count on Marcel to delight us with his powerful singing.
