Presenting the Third Annual
DRUG &
VIOLENCE-FREE
SUMMER RALLY
Friday May 27th 2005, 5 to 7 p.m.
MORAGNE PARK, GADSDEN
Featuring:
Local Talent, Refreshments, Entertainment,
and Motivational Speakers
WMGJ Radio and other sponsors concerned
about our community hope to minimize
the danger of drugs and violence
this summer by:
1) Teaching our
children to Say NO to drugs
2) Advocating a respectful and friendly
way to communicate with others
3) Letting them know we love them
and care about them
WMGJ 1240 AM Radio
realizes that summertime is usually
the time that children first experiment
with drugs, because they have more
free time but less parental supervision.
Peer pressure is one of our children's
greatest challenges.

- Bud Hughley Park on Springfield
Ave, East Gadsden
This is WMGJ Radio's 19th year recognizing
and celebrating "Juneteenth"
as a national day of freedom. We
are also celebrating the entire
month of June as "Black Music
History", and since June 19th
is also Father's Day there will
be a special tribute to all the
fathers and men who continue to
take a stand as role models for
the children and women in our community.
Events will be from 10AM until sunset
and will include live entertainment
provided by local, regional and
national members of the performing
arts covering many forms of expression
through music and dance. There will
be something for everyone from old-time
blues to contemporary R & B,
and the best from classic spirituals
to the modern gospel hits of today.
This is a free admission for the
entire family as there will be plenty
to participate in. We will have
games, arts and crafts, face painting,
light sports and more. Don't worry
about what to eat as we will have
free food and soft drinks (so please,
no alcoholic beverages).
Vendors and local business persons
are greatly encouraged to claim
booth space as this will be an excellent
opportunity to sample your product
and services to a large number of
people, so contact us for more details.

only "Juneteenth" celebration
in Gadsden and we hope to see you
there, so bring your family and
friends! For more information call
