Public Housing Reunion Event

The Resident's Association is having a Public Housing Reunion this weekend in Sarasota. Following is from a letter by Valerie Buchand, President of the Resident's Association.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We would like to invite you to a Public Housing Reunion.

People will be coming from around the country, people who once lived in public housing. Many public housing residents have gone on in life accomplishing their goals and following their dreams. We are asking them to come to the reunion to share their lives and provide encouragement and inspiration to current public housing residents and supportive City residents.

Guest speaker will be the Reverend Cupid Poe, the son of Mrs. Janie Poe, activist and Sarasota school teacher.

To attend any or all events, please register by calling the office (366-6100) and leave a message or for more information, call Valerie at 544-3262.
