The 40^th district team sponsored two buses to the event; one left Mondawmin Mall and one left from the Stieff Building. Additionally, a third bus sponsored by the Park Heights Renaissance, left from the Zeta Senior Center and a fourth bus filled with youth was sponsored by ConneXions: a Community Based Arts School.

We began the program with a prayer and asked God to intervene. Knowing that He fed the multitude of people with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, I felt comfortable knowing He would feed the people gathered peacefully to fellowship, network and be informed. Upon observance of the unusually large crowd I knew we were going to be okay. And He did not fail.

Although many more people attended than we anticipated, not only did we have enough food to feed those we had counted for but we had a considerable amount of leftovers; which we donated to a homeless shelter.

Thank all of you, because of you it was an evening well spent.
