The ladies of the National Association of Negro and
Professional Women’s Club, Inc, Toledo Chapter welcomed four
new members with a community holiday party on December 16.
Sophisticated red and yellow decorates lavished the
reception room as Club President Denise Black Poon
officially welcomed guests and introduced the organization’s
governor LaTanuya Conley, PhD. The evening continued with
games facilitated by Alexii Collins of the membership
committee, presentations and closing remarks by club
president.
The celebration also included a rededication ceremony for
current members and induction of four new members: Sarah
Burkes, Mironda Harris, Crystal Harris Darnell and LuCynthia
Jones. “I’m excited, truly excited, to be a member of this
organization. They are known for serving the community,
especially youth,” said newly inducted member Mironda
Harris.
Harris and Burkes were both sponsored by current club member
Cherry Reeds. “I share Mironda’s excitement, we’re a part of
an organization that actively gives back,” Sarah Burkes.
The four new members received individual gifts and warm
greetings from fellow club members. “Our club is glad to
have these four ladies join our group of professional women.
Their experiences, skills and passions are valued. They are
women that have been selected because of their values and
professionalism,” said Black Poon.
