The keynote speaker for the afternoon will be Mr. Rickey Parker, Senior Operations Manager of the Kimberly-Clark Corp. of Berkley Mills, Hendersonville, NC.
The annual Oratorical Presentations from area students will be the highlight of the event. Reverend Williams shared that, “This oratory presentation gives the students an opportunity to express themselves publicly, which is very important in today’s society.”
One Youth At A Time is extending a special invitation to all children, youth and families to share in this annual event. Special music will be rendered by the St. John Baptist Church youth choir of Fletcher, NC, and the WNC Baptist Fellowship Church youth choir and praise dancers.
