| CALENDAR
The Walnut Street YMCA Black Achiever's 2005
calendar was full of enriching activities.
The following list highlights one of the many
activities that were planned each month including
commentary from our Youth Achievers.
February
Peter Spencer
African American History Tour - Mother African
Church Union Church
The Mother African Union Church tour was
a great experience! The Harriet Tubman impersonator
was great. She made us feel as though we
were alive during that time and experienced
the life of a slave.
March
The Start of the
College Tour to North Carolina
The North Carolina College Tour was also
merged with Ezion-Mount Caramel Church.
The college tour provided us with opportunities
to look at colleges of interest such as
Winston Salem University, North Carolina
A&T, Johnson C. Smith University, Duke
University, Wake Forest, and North Carolina
Central University.
April
Youth in Government trip to the Delaware
State Capital in Dover
The Youth in Government (trip to the Delaware
State Capital in Dover) was a chance for
us to experience the Senate and House of
Representatives when they are in session.
I was especially happy because my bill (heighten
the penalties of cocaine charges) was passed
and signed into law.
May
Community Service Project for Delaware Marathon
Black Achiever's volunteered at the Riverfront
in Downtown Wilmington at the Delaware Marathon.
We passed out water to exasperated runners
who desperately needed water along the way.
We had plenty of fun.
June- MegaBiz Fest
July
Black Achiever's Basketball Game Fundraiser
During this month we had our 2nd annual
basketball game. At this game we sold candy
and provided entertainment for our guests.
Entertainment was provided by The Heavenly
Angels Stepping Team. Some Youth Achievers
actually had their own stepping team. and
out own personal DJ. Personal Funds went
to our Six Flags Trip.
August
Annual Trip ( Six Flags)
Finally!!! One more year of Black Achievers
has been completed and we went to Six Flags
to celebrate. The trip was a success. We
rolled around in The Wild Safari, and looked
at plenty of interesting animals such as
wild kudus, addax's, and white bengal tiger's.
Animals you definitely would not see in
your regular zoo. Besides the long lines,
we had a fun time.
