Dear Reader:

I am sure that you are aware of the senseless and irresponsible violence that happens to frequently in our community.  It is a tragedy that must stop.  To many innocent victims, women, men and children, suffer great hurt and harm as the result of violence.  Something must be done, something must be said, to bring awareness and shed light on this problem.  I have assembled a group of local musicians, singers, poets and artists to help bring awareness to the impact of violence on our community, featuring Cethus J. Manning, Sr. and Company.  Mr. Manning’s son, Cethus J. Manning, Jr., fell victim to a violent crime while sitting in his car talking to his girlfriend. This year’s jam session is being held in his memory. 

This event, “STOP THE VIOLENCE” jam session, featuring local musicians and artists, will be held on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at the Ottawa Park Amphitheater, located at 2201 Ottawa Parkway.  The event is free and parking is free. The concert and jam session is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m. and last until approximately 8:00 .m. 

This event is intended to demonstrate how our community can come together against senseless and reckless violence.  Thank you for your anticipated support and for making our community one that we can all be proud of. Now is the time to stand together.

Sincerely,
 

Tyrone Riley, Toledo City Councilman
