19th Annual Appreciation Dinner Recap
“Team Work Makes the Dream Work”
On Tuesday, April 12, 2016, BCM hosted its 19th Annual Appreciation
Dinner at Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church. Volunteers, supporters
and board members gathered together to celebrate one another and the
power of teamwork. This year, dinner was catered by Ambrose Culinary
Caterers and featured a delicious buffet with salad and dessert.
Highlights from the evening included special musical selections from
Varick Barton (saxophonist) and personal testimonials from BCM
volunteers Jill Clark, Torri Evans-Barton, and Len Wager. Our Executive
Director, Daphne Walker, delivered special remarks and recognition to the
BCM Board of Trustees, retiring Board Trustees, and distinguished
volunteers for their years of service to
BCM.
All distinguished volunteers received
customized BCM gifts based on their
years of service that included: a
Certificate of Service (1 year), a BCM
tumbler cup (5 years), a BCM folding
chair with carrying bag (10 years), a
BCM umbrella (15 years) and a
personalized trophy (20 years).
Thank you to everyone that helped make
the evening a success!

Farewell, Rosine! It’s hard to believe that BCM’s Emergency
Assistance Intern, Rosine Niyungeko, completed her
last day at BCM on Thursday, April 28th. Rosine
came to us from Georgia State University in
September of last year and has assisted with all
aspects of the Emergency Assistance program.
She is now looking
forward to
graduating with a
Bachelor’s degree
in Social Work this
month! Before she
left, Rosine wanted
to thank all of the
staff and volunteers
at BCM and wrote
the following
farewell message:
To BCM staff members and volunteers,
Interning at BCM has given me a lot of joy and
happiness. Whether it was staff members or
volunteers, you welcomed me with open arms so
for that I thank you. When I first started
interning at BCM, I knew that it was a place I
would love going to because of the environment,
and sure enough, it became like a second home for
me. The experience and skills that I have learned
are unforgettable and I will use it as I go on my
way in searching for a full-time job. I will miss
everyone and thank you very much for
everything!
With Love,
Rosine

Special Service Projects
Last month, BCM was chosen as the recipient of a
Bible project for two Westminster students, Sarah
and Ella. The school project was focused on food
insecurity in the United States, which Sarah and
Ella decided to address by collecting canned goods
for BCM.
In addition to their canned food donation, Sarah
and Ella interviewed our Executive Director,
Daphne Walker, and visited our food pantry to
learn more about how BCM distributes food to the
community.
Many thanks to Sarah and Ella for taking the time
to learn about BCM and collecting food donations.
We appreciate your support!
