Freedom Fund Banquet 2022

On October 22 I had the honor of attending the Wilkes-Barre NAACP Branch No. 2306’s 27th Annual Freedom Fund Banquet, where I presented certificates of recognition to a number of members. Each year this event is held to celebrate the accomplishments of the NAACP Wilkes-Barre Branch as well as to recognize individuals who have advanced the organization’s mission.

This year the Genetti Hotel and Conference Center’s main ballroom was filled with hundreds of people for the banquet, making it an unmitigated success. This year’s theme was “This Is Power,” with a keynote address from Wanda Ochei, director of Student Services and Engagement at the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus.
