Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, Inc. Toledo Youth Club planned a very festive Annual
Christmas Program for the residents of Alpha Towers Senior
Center on Saturday, December 10, 2016.

residents.

The program consisted of a fashion show which included the
Toledo Youth Club and Adult Club as models. The senior
residents really enjoyed themselves as the club members
modeled African-American attire for Kwanzaa, hats, little
black dresses, western attire and more. Models in the show
were youth club members Daejaun Bumpus, Jada Collins, Jordan
Collins, Melissa Smith and Kevon Snodgress. Adult Club
models were Alexii Collins; Barbara Tucker; Frances Collins,
PhD; Lillie Watkins; Clara Brank and Black-Poon.
After the fashion show a healthy lunch was provided which
gave the residents a chance to relax and fellowship. The
audience enjoyed singing popular Christmas songs to make the
season bright. Selections such as Deck the Halls, Joy to
the World, Silent Night, We Wish You A Merry Christmas
and more, really helped to make the season bright and
brought joy to everyone in the room.
This program is a special favorite for the residents of the
Alpha Towers. The senior residents ask for the Christmas
program to return each year. The members of the National
Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, Inc. feel honored and enjoy the smiles on their faces
and the love in their hearts. "A smile is worth a million
words and doesn't cost a thing." Said Black-Poon. "We
support our youth and very proud of them.”
The Youth Club Advisor, Frances Collins, and Assistant
Advisor, Alexii Collins, have been working with the youth
club to help develop the youths leadership skills, creating
interesting awareness programs and workshops to prepare them
for life skills, health issues, etc. The youth club members
attend conferences, do community service and participate in
workshops and other training program with the adult club.
The Toledo Youth and Adult Clubs send seasons
greetings and warm wishes to everyone and hope that everyone
has a very special and safe holiday season and a Happy New
Year.
