The anniversary group planning the Black history celebration got a little carried away with all the activities they had planned yesteday. The morning started with a panel talking about health equity in different neighborhoods across the area.
There was also a Black vendor fair.
The presentation about cultural foods was interesting.
We tasted and judged 10 macaroni and cheese dishes. Mac and cheese isn't my favorite. It was interesting that the 10 people watching the presenatation were all church members. Some vendors stopped in to taste the mac and cheese but didn't stay for the talk.
There were also various health screenings offered.
The afternoon ended with two musical kids groups. The idea was to bring people into the church and I'm not sure that was accomplished aside from the vendors and health care professionals manning the various booths. We spent about $350 on publicity (not my idea) and overall a third of our anniversary budget on the Black history events. I'll have to talk to my co-chair and see what she thought.
