The Alley Media Social on Nov 16th was obviously a play on the words “social media”. It was also obvious that night that it was about a playful mixing of delightful musical entertainment, provocative presentations, African food and thoughtful conversation. The mix was also the combined efforts of the Backyard Initiative Citizen Health Action Teams (CHATS), The Alley Newspaper, and other non-profits who chose to inform and engage about their activities, too. The entertainment venue included Margeaux Davis, Dallas Johnson, Siami Matuzungidi, Dave Moore, Christopher Tolier, Barbara LeShoure, Dee Henry Willams, Leola Althea Johnson, and James Stewart.
The evening”'s success met all goals of and expectations of great food by Safari Express (check out the coupon from Safari Express on page 5) and tremendous entertainment. The fundraising goals for the evening fell only $400 short of the modest goal. If you haven”'t joined in this year”'s Alley Ally appeal, there is still the time and opportunity.
