To the editor:

Mountain of Faith Ministries appreciates the tremendous community support of our Fifth Annual “Women Empowering Communities” Fund-raiser Luncheon. We appreciate the excellent journalism and photo coverage provided by the Vicksburg Post staff, Gabrielle Terrett, John Surratt and Courtland Wells. Thank you for telling our story and supporting our cause.

It was a privilege to have the nine Outstanding Honorees: Susie Calbert, Ebony Gardner, Fannie Glasper, Atheia Jefferson, Kimberly Nailor, Pam Pugh, Linda Stevens, JoElla Walls and Lucy Young, lend their names and raise funds in support of homeless women and children. Honorees, thank you for your humble spirit, caring for others and giving of yourself.

Thank you to our corporate donors BancorpSouth and ERGON, City of Vicksburg, Honorable Mayor George Flaggs Jr., Warren County Board of Supervisors; all the businesses, family friends, faith, service and social clubs who purchased ads and gave monetary donations.

Special thanks to Pastor Arnita Spencer, Bethel AME Church; Miss Mississippi Anne Elizabeth Buys, and Leaf River Blues; Shirley Waring, Vicksburg Blues Society; Robyn Lea, Stacey Hill, Curtis Aaron, Videographer; Dawn McClendon of Timeless Events; Rebecca Tribble of Tribble Catering. To the United Way staffers, thank you for all that you do.
