The Hispanics, Asians, Jews all have college-bound programs for their youths. Currently there is the hailed "Asian Model," associated with excellent academic outcomes. As a demographic group, African youths perform at the high end with their Asian and White peers. However, the research needs to be consolidated. Another question: Would the excellence be the norm? Without supportive services, it is difficult to predict as the population grows.
Some African youths miss the opportunity to actualize their fullest potentials because they have no informed guidance, including filling out college applications and financial aid forms. The missed opportunities include admission into competitive schools or their preference. The finding is based on surveys of 125 graduating seniors in 2014. Patronage of the First Martin Luther King Builder and Patron Appreciation Dinner-Gala, the historic first for the African community, will benefit the College Bound Program. The Honorees are prototypes! Casa de Maryland, a force for immigration reform with the White House and services for immigrants, have influenced benefits for the community. Meet the rest of the talents and watch the video, perhaps again, Ebola We Shall Overcome by Artist With One Voice.

| | | Dear Patrons and Friends of Community Development:
The courtesy of your patronage of the First Continental African Martin Luther King Builder and Patron Appreciation Dinner-Gala will help in answering life's most persistent and urgent question to keep alive the legacy of Martin Luther King.
As individuals and communities, we are beneficiaries of the Dream and the gains of Civil Rights because someone made it easier for us to achieve.
The theme will be highlighted by theatrical presentations of exemplary valor with public officials, constituents, and advocates saluting the courage and talent at the service of humanity. The special honorees (see left) exemplify the indelible difference that a person or a group can make in building a more humane society beyond individual organizations and national borders.
The First Continental African Martin Luther King Builder and Parton Dinner is a non-partisan program dedicated to civic engagement and quality of life services that promote social and economic justice for all, and educational opportunity for the next generation.
This maiden program will take place on Saturday January 17, 2015 from 6:00 p.m. prompt at the Long Branch Community Center, 8700 Piney Branch Rd, Silver Spring, Md 20901.
The patronage of First Continental African Martin Luther sponsors will provide mentorship to high school students and college preparation assistance to the 2015 high school graduates. Let them translate the Dream to Opportunity.
To make your reservation, please respond to mail or call the numbers below.
Please read, below, the substantive program in honor of Martin Luther King Legacy on January 17 and 19, 2015.

January 19, 2015. 9:am 11:30 am
 | | The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) uses assets within the community as the primary building blocks of sustainable community development.
By strengthening and building on the skills and expertise of residents, the resourcefulness of
associations or groups, and the supportive functions of local institutions and governments, ABCD draws upon available community strengths to build stronger, dynamic and empowered community that addresses the needs of constituents.
Therefore, a critical part of building a healthy and functional community is understanding the existing and potential strengths of individuals and organized entities. The purpose is to match needs with resources for community empowerment. Stakeholders at the Breakfast Roundtable on Community Asset Inventory will conduct assessments in order facilitate:
1) Community education on the inter-connectedness of development, which brings together stakeholders working on similar or complementary causes to achieve effective and efficient results.
2) Ways to recognize talents and abilities, and inspire individuals and groups, including youths, to contribute toward civic and community development.
3) The shifting from dependency on outside sources to an empowered, self-reliant, self-representing constituency.
