Rev. Martin Luther King Prayer Breakfast
Jan. 15th, 2007, St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Washington, DC. Hosted by the Far East Kiwanis Club of Division One

Martin Luther King Prayer Breakfast on his birthday, January 15th, with Governor Bob Cressy and Division One LG Babs Tate at the start of the ceremonies in St. Luke’s Church Hall, Washington, DC. Immediate Past Governor Yvonne Holley and Division LG Tony Gee share a light moment before the ceremony. Tony is also District Chair for Diversity programs. Past President Sam Wilson addresses the morning audience at the MLK Prayer Breakfast.
The celebration singers. About a dozen three to six year olds singing for Rev. King. The singing was … real good and very cute. The lyrics were perfect! It was a treat and the highlight of the event. No offense to the keynote speaker, PG Tony Gee, who was excellent. Its hard to complete with those young ones. The singers: a pictures says a thousand words. Decked out and signing their little hearts out.
“Choir Director” PLG Doris Montgomery, Division One, had these singers perfectly rehearsed. VERY strong on lyrics and really coming along with the singing. Their voices will mature when they reach, say eight or nine. Delightful! PG Tony Gee of Division 20 was the Keynote Speaker telling of the background and teaching of Dr. King. Tony is also the Capital District Diversity Chairman. Chairperson Bernice Oden presents Tony with a ‘thank you’ plaque. Nice. PLG Bernice Oden was the chair person for the event, not missing a detail.
