Baltimore, MD (November 18, 2009) – Today Mayor Dixon hosted the “Just for Men: A Celebration of Thanksgiving” speaker series. The purpose of this speaker series, which takes place every week during the month of November, is to give honor and thanks to Baltimore City men that have made a tremendous impact in the lives of others.
“It is so important for us to take time out of our schedule to give thanks to those in our lives that have made a difference,” commented Mayor Dixon. “The men featured in this series are role models for giving back to our community. This series is just a small token of our appreciation for all that they do.”
Each week features men who have made outstanding contributions in a variety of professions including medicine, sports, music, arts and faith. Today’s series, “Men in Faith”, featured Reverend Dr. Frank M. Reid III, Pastor, Bethel AME Church, Monsignor Damien Nalepa, Pastor, St. Gregory the Great, and Bishop Eugene Sutton, Maryland Episcopal Diocese.
“It is the spirit of God within me that is the foundation that keeps me going,” commented Mayor Dixon. “I want to thank these powerful leaders for making such a difference in our community and for truly being vessels of that spirit.”
Today marked the third installment in a month long of speaker series. The series will culminate next Wednesday, November 25th with “Men in Music and Arts” featuring Dr. Eric Conway, Director Morgan State University Choir and Taylor Branch, Author and Historian.
