Celebrating Those We Recognize for Greatness!
Our Board Secretary, Nyrobi Wheeler enjoys researching these famous people's birthdays! It is fun to reminisce about how old we were when these famous people were making their mark in the world, isn’t it? Remembering who we were with when we went to a concert or saw a show. And to be encouraged that many of them are still making contributions to our culture! Our board secretary Nyrobi Wheeler enjoys collecting these for us! Thanks Nyrobi!
