On Sunday, August 18th, the National Center for the

th

The National Center was honoring the patrons who pro-
vide support for its activities as well as the donors who
have provided historical artefacts which contribute to the
mission of the center. Seated in the audience was Mrs.
Alice Gooden, who is the Historian for the Patrons of the

noon as a part of her responsibility. The inscription on the award reads
Citizen of the Year Award,
Much to her surprise, Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Howard Presented to Mrs. Alice S. Gooden,
Robinson II, announced that the recipient of this year’s In Recognition of Your Exemplary Record of Public Service to the
Citizen of the Year Award, is Mrs. Alice Gooden. The Patrons of the National Center

she had no idea that she would be receiving an honor at
the program. 4
