On October 1, 2005, Curtis Reliford, a community organizer and founder of "Brothers Teaching Brothers," held a celebration and informal report back at clock tower in Santa Cruz. The event was a way for Shreveport, Bogalousa and New Orleans, Louisiana to say "Thank You" to Santa Cruz community members for their generous support and donations.
The celebration at the clock tower included food, music and photos of the relief effort from Santa Cruz to Louisiana.
Text from flyers at the clock tower:
Our journey was successful, but the mission's not over.
I'm going back to Louisiana and I'm taking the items that are specifically needed;
* Men's, women's, and children's under garments
* Plus size shirts, blouses and pants
* Socks
* Shoes
* Medical supplies
* Medical funds
* Building funds
Thank you for your prayers and contributions.
