CHUBB ROCK ...R&B artist
When you think of hip- hop, rhythm & blues artists from the nineties era, whose music instantly gets the crowd to the dance floor - Chubb Rock! “Nineteen ninety Chubb Rock jumps up on the scene with a lean and a pocketful of green...” with his 1990 hit “Treat ‘Em Right,” to this day stimulates a great response from his au-
diences around the world. Born Richard Simpson on May 28, 1968, Jamaica, West Indies, this former Na- tional Merit Scholar bounced onto the hip hop/rhythm & blues scene after dropping out of college. Since that time Chubb has gone on to create other chart topping hits, including “Caught Up,” “Just the Two of Us” and “Ya
Bad Chubbs.
Chubb Rock is featured
in the new single "Summer- time Anthem" with R&B artist Eric Roberson. Chubb Rock’s perform- ances have been proclaimed as the highlight of the evening and he always makes you move with an old school groove.

One Church One Child Of Florida, Inc. Seeks Families, Mentors
Please Consider Adopting or Mentoring
This is an urgent and im- portant question that must be raised time and time again, but each time, there is a dif- ferent child or children. One Church One Child of Florida is reaching out to families and individuals in local communi- ties across the state in efforts to help share the truth that the children featured here and others like them are wait- ing for a permanent home and/or mentor.
Daily, over 700 children are in need of a family to call their own; many of them are minorities. Can you provide a loving, permanent home for these children or other chil- dren like them or consider becoming their mentors?
Churches are asked to partner with One Church One Child in sharing information with congregations and ex- tending Watch-Care Min- istries to children. Rev. Beverly Hills Lane, State President for One Church One Child of Florida and Vice-President for National One Church One Child, is challenging fellow Pastors to get involved and encouraging families to open their hearts and homes to children in fos- ter care.
These series of articles feature children located in communities across the state; they have no family identified to adopt them. Will you take the challenge of opening your home and family to parenting them?
March’s child is high- lighted in this article; she too deserves to have a family. Do
pray sincerely for her and consider making her a part of your family through adoption or a part of your church through Project Watch-Care, for support and mentoring.

‘I Want To Learn To Drive!’
Sabrina, 16, was born with a song in her heart. She’s animated, outgoing, hilari- ous, and almost always smil- ing. She loves people, and gives herself wholeheartedly to being a great friend. Sab- rina is serious about her health; about eating well (though she has a soft spot for lasagna!), and staying active.
Gymnastics and dance are her two favorite sports, and she’d really like to be either a gymnast or a dance therapist when she grows up. She has no preference of family type - she said if she had two dads she could be a “daddies’ girl,” and the more siblings there are the more love to go around - but she is very clear about one thing: she wants more than anything in the world to mean the world to someone.
Sabrina has such a bright, amazing future ahead of her. She needs and de- serves to be part of a loving, encouraging and accepting forever family.
If you are interested in knowing more about Sab- rina and other children in foster care available for adop- tion, or if you would like to become a foster parent, men- tor, partner or volunteer, please contact LaKay Fayson, Recruitment Coor- dinator for One Church One Child of Florida’s SunCoast Region, at (813) 740-0210 or lakay_fayson@ococfl.org.
