---------------------   Message from Anthony Whitmore, President of MLK Dayton, Inc.     --------------
Greetings:

The Martin Luther King Celebration and Board invite the community to ‘An Evening with Dr. William J. Shaw’ an International Speaker and Pastor of White Rock Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, September 16, 2017, 6:00PM at Tabernacle Baptist located at 380 S. Broadway Avenue, Dayton, Ohio.  Rev. Tokunbo Richard Adelekan, Ph.D., is the host pastor.

On September 9, 1999, Dr. Shaw was elected the sixteenth President of The National Baptist Convention, USA. Inc. During his first term, he led the Convention to become a more Christ- Centered body. With Dr. Shaw’s focus on Vision, Integrity, Structure, and Accountability (VISA), the convention reached several milestones including burning the mortgage on the Baptist World Center, paying more than $1.125 million dollars of inherited debt, implementing a retirement plan for Pastors and church workers, establishing fiscal accountability and increasing the role of technology in the Convention. Dr. Shaw was re-elected to the Convention presidency in September 2004 and completed his second term as President of the Convention in 2009.

We hope that you will be able to join us as this profound spiritual and intellectual icon shares his wisdom and expertise in the challenges that we face in this world.  Please contact Mr. Thomas L. Nichols, Jr., Program Chair (937) 266-0789 or Brenda Joyce Blake at (937) 838-5080  and let us know if you will be able to attend or email me at abwhitmore234@gmail.com.   Refreshments will be served at the reception following this service.

Subject: Calling All Politically Active Ohioans -- Sat. Sept 23, 2017

* CALLING ALL POLITICALLY INVOLVED CITIZENS IN THE MIAMI VALLEY *

Mark your calendars for SATURDAY, SEPT 23rd, 2017

Have you started to become more involved in political activism lately, maybe even for the first time in your life? Are you working with the Indivisible movement, perhaps, or engaged in supporting local political campaigns? Have you been calling, texting, or visiting your elected officials? Would you like to take the next step in making the changes in our communities that we want to see?

If you are a leader, a doer, or even just an concerned citizen wanting to make real change… then this training is for YOU

THE COMMUNITY RIGHTS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE WORKSHOP is coming to the Miami Valley for the FIRST time this month, on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 2017

This day long event is a unique opportunity to receive training from dedicated and professional activists who have been on the front lines of advancing this transformative approach to community governing.

The workshop is the creation of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), and is an eye-opening, Ohio-focused program designed to bring a more focused and effective approach for those working for political change in their communities.

CELDF has been working across the country for decades now, helping communities take the power back from the corporations who have usurped our rights as Americans as a self-governing citizenry. The workshop has been derived from their effective, game-changing "Democracy Schools," which have been transforming local political organizing around the country (and now the world) for over two decades now.

*HELP MAKE REAL CHANGE IN YOUR COMMUNITY*

For just $50, you will receive an entire day of training, as well as a large manual containing all the information you will need as you take your newfound knowledge back to your community, and to your respective causes.

These are extraordinary times we are in today, as we face an emergency situation, politically and environmentally. CELDF provides useful insights and some of the tools necessary for meeting those challenges effectively, and helping people organize to ensure the communities they live in are ones that sustain and support their principles of social, economic and environmental justice and sustainability.

JOIN US for this unique and exciting opportunity to elevate your political organizing efforts from a 1.0 to 2.0 level. This isn't just about resistance, but about pro-active, effective transformation of our work, about working FOR the kinds of communities we want to live in, not just fighting against the forces that threaten that.

Whatever your issue may be…environmental, labor rights, media, racial justice, etc…there's something to learn and use from the kinds of legal and organizational insights provided through the work of CELDF.

The times are calling for this kind of transformative effort. Please consider joining us in this critical fight.
