Elite Lindenite Organization will Sponsor a
biennial Acheivement Awards Banquet February

Senator Bobby Singleton will serve as guest
speaker.
The Elite Lindenite Club beganin 1970 when
four members of the Marathon Wives Club
invited other local women to unite with them. In
1992, the club received its credentials of incor-
poration and is now officially known as The
Elite Lindenite Organization. In 1998, the
organizatio*n received a proclamation from the
state of Alabama for its outstanding community
service.
Since its organization, the club has been suc-
cessful in promoting activities to meet the social
and intellectual needs of the community. One
such need is that of recognizing Blacks who are
making significant contributions to their com-

citizens serves as encouragement for our youth.

Gamble, Jr., Mr. Jamaal R. Little, Attorney
