| Fun at the Fundraiser.... |
 |
| My friend, Rasta DJ Gordon held a fundraiser and we had a ball....the thing that's so freeing about being amongst a crowd enjoying Reggae music is the harmony and peace everyone participates with....I spent most of the night taking pictures....duhhhhh....lol....LionSoulJah was the featured band...there were several guest artist AND a Reggae DJ spinning the jams....It was the last big event I attended in 2002.... There were quite a few non-Black people there with Dreadlocks...some quite nice locs, actually, so I'm sharing my pictures with you....Everyone was totally dressed down and totally having a locin' good time!!!..... |
 |
| Rasta Dj Gordon....founder of the Jamaican Education & Recreation Support Program and host of the fundraiser.... Donations: School supplies for the children.... Each person bought a box or bag of school supplies....because I am on a tight budget I went to the neighborhood dollar store and loaded up a box with crayons...paper...pencils...drawing paper....etc....anything school orientated.... it was VERY refreshing to be able to know EXACTLY what your money was being spent on because YOU bought the supplies yourself... |
