Final Touches Being Made To ‘Salute To Seniors Musical’
BY GWEN HAYES Sentinel Editor
Choir Rehearsal is Tuesday, August 13th at 6 p. m.
Six years ago the idea of saluting senior songsters was birthed by Minister Janice Nunn Nelson.
It appeared as though the seniors were getting lost in the new music that had come upon the horizon. But, Minis- ter Nunn Nelson wanted to make sure those voices that had brought ‘us so far along the way,’ would not be lost.
The “Salute to Seniors Mu- sicals” is slated for Saturday, August 17, 2019, 6 p. m. at Beulah Baptist Institutional Church, 1006 W. Cypress St., Tampa 33606, Rev. Dr. W. James Favorite, Pastor.
MINISTER JANICE NUNN NELSON
The musical is being pre- sented by Enhancing Your Life and Minister Janice Nunn Nelson.
However, before the pres- entation of the musical, there must be a rehearsal to prepare. A combined Senior Choir will perform for the musical. If you are 50 years old or older, you’re invited to rehearsal on
Tuesday, August 13th, 6 p. m., at Beulah.
Minister Nunn Nelson
said, “What a joy and privilege it has been to work with and learn from seniors who sing from their hearts with mean- ing and substance. We should never forget the people or the songs that helped us out, through trials and hard times.”
This year’s special guests will be Ruby Mack, Ruth Jefferson and Lester Pele- mon.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend the “Salute To Seniors Musical” on August 17th.
“I also believe we must make every effort to encourage our young people to be more aware, more knowledgeable and more respectful of our seniors,” she said.
