The Baptist Ministers voted to send one of their members as an unpaid liaison person with the Mayor and some other folks we know are planning for that re-election when they will also let Ed Koch know how they feel about "how he is doing!"

One invitation from the Community Service Association of East Harlem Triangle said "you are invited to the first real "freebie" of 1979 honoring the achievements of the East Harlem Triangle and the tenth anniversary of the "Harlem On My Mind Exhibition." The tome said the date, Saturday, March 3 and the time 3-6 to 7 p.m. or until our drinks and food give out.

The more formal invite - read Delegate Magazine - cordially invites you to see history in the making in the Upper East Harlem Community and to commemorate "Harlem On My Mind - 10 years later." The tome also said "Honoring Mrs. Alice Kornegay, President of East Harlem Triangle and Allon Schoener, originator of 'Harlem On My Mind Exhibit'." And call for an RSVP to be sent to Hilda Stokley of Melpat Associates.

The fare was Southern Cuisine and Cocktails.

And come, they did, over 400 guests crowded into the Community Service Offices to greet Alice, who received the Seagram Vanguard Award for 25 years of Community efforts for the East Triangle group. And a Heavyweight Championship Belt also given by friends for these efforts.

Mr. Schoener was given a citation for his exhibit which started us thinking about our "roots" in 1968. And the surprise citations of the affair were given to the first Black Borough President of Manhattan, Hulan Jack, and another to Mrs. Stokely who was the Democratic District Leader of the area when the Triangle began its operation.

Among the friends and well wishers who came from as far north as Vermont and as far south as Atlanta to greet Mrs. Kornegay and Mr. Schoener were Congressman Charles Rangel, former Lt. Governor George Brown of Colorado; Frank Rosetti, the district leader of the Triangle; all of the original Planning Board of the original area headed by Mr. and Mrs. William Kirk; Pete and Rose Pascale, Esther Sheridan, Doris Haywood, Euzie Hutchinson, Member of the Kanawha Democratic Club; Preston Wilcox, Zale Koff, Reverend William James, Margaret Beckford, Joe Overton, Brenda Stokeley, William Stokeley, Ralph O'Neil, Louis Cioffi, Arthur Ascione, Rachel Brown.

And then there were: Gloria Lawrence, Dr. and Mrs. Les Alexander, Margie Goldsen, Colette Owen, Mary Redd, Betty Brown, Robert Monroe, Steve Lockett, Bob Watkins, Bob Frascone, Brig. Mary Nisiewicz (Salvation Army), Stella Marr, Hulan Jack, Judge Constance Motley, Simeon Golar, Val Coleman, Lee Archer, Robert Gaines, Medelaine Hill, Bobby Pouissant, Wilbur Holland, Thelma Goodrich, Rev. George Lloyd, Marvin Wilkinson, Councilman Robert Rodriguez and William Reilley.
