On Wednesday, Decem- ber 16th, the Pi Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi met with a group of 4th and 5th grade students at E. E. Just Ele-
mentary School.
The 24 students are part
of a mentoring group at Just, and Hillsborough County Branch NAACP President,
Bennie Small was the guest speaker. Also, James Cole of ACT-SO (Afro-Aca- demic Cultural, Technologi- cal, and Scientific Olympics) spoke to the boys about “Safety Over The Holidays.”
After the speakers fin- ished, all 24 boys were given applications to be a part of ACT-SO.
Omega Psi Phi said they did this because they have a responsibility to reach out to the community, and by pre- senting them a membership into a historical organiza- tion, it is hoped they will be empowered.

More Than 250 Artifacts On Display:
Artifacts From Perry Harvey, Sr. Park On Display In Old City Hall
Ground was broken back in July on the construction of the new Perry Harvey, Sr. Park. Since that time, more than 250 artifacts have been pulled from the construction site.
These artifacts provide a glimpse into the rich history into Cen- tral Avenue and the surrounding area.
The City of Tampa Archives and Records Dept. has put together a new exhibit, ‘Uncovering History: Perry Harvey, Sr. Park Arti- facts.’
The artifacts will be on display in the Mascotte Room in the Old City Hall Building, 315 E. Kennedy Blvd., until January 15, 2015. After the display closes downtown, a smaller version will move to the Robert Saunders Branch Library and will remain there for most of the year.
Please call ahead if you wish to visit the downtown exhibit as there are meetings held in that room.
