Foundation To Host Father’s Day Extravaganza
BY LEON B. CREWS Sentinel Staff Writer
To all the fathers out there who feel ignored on Father’s Day and other events, Our Sisters, Our Friends has answered the call.
The foundation, founded by sisters Sheilah Youngblood and Ola Abreu, host free Thanksgiving meals every year, and now they’ve decided to ex- tend their gratitude to all the fathers in the area.
“The men are always talking about how no one shows them any love on their birthday, Fa- ther’s Day, or on Christmas,” said Mrs. Youngblood.
“We hope this event will change that and our hospitality will be the same as with every event we’ve hosted. We will go all out for the fathers, and make sure they know this is their day, and they are more than appreciated.”
The Father’s Day Extrava- ganza will be held Sunday,
June 19th at the Barksdale Sen- ior Center at MacFarlane Park. Doors will open at 2 p.m.
“Come one, come all to this beautiful and thoughtful ex- pression and appreciation for all the fathers out there.
“This is their day, and this is for the grand fathers, young fa- thers, and the old fathers. This is also for the fathers, who due to illness or incarceration, can’t celebrate this important day.”
