Hello,
My name is Linda F. Hoskins and I
am the President of the Madison
Branch of the NAACP. Our Vice-President is
Shelia Stubbs. The Secretary is Sandy Mines. Our Assistant
Secretary is Nancy Taylor. Our Treasure is Pastori Balele. Members
At-Large are Frank Humphrey Esq., Ida Thomas, Addrena Squires,
Sadie Pearson, and
Detria Hassel.
We have new leadership. We
have old faces and new faces working together on Social Justice and
Civil Right Issues. We are about teamwork because together everyone
achieves more. Teamwork focuses on the course of social justice and
civil right issues and taking the course to the highest level.
Teamwork makes everyone aware of all the problems and finding ways
and means to solve the problem. As a team we can build bridges that
will be used and last for ever as long as we remember and motivate
ourselves that "We, the team got the job done and built the
bridge that solve problems."
Linda Hoskins,
President of Madison Branch NAACP

2009 Annual Ida B. Wells Freedom Fund Banquet
 |
We would like to invite you
and your company to become Corporate Sponsors of the NAACP Madison
Branch Annual Freedom Fund Banquet to be held on Friday, October 2,
2009, at 7 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel in Middleton, WI. This year we
celebrate 100 years and our theme is "Bold Dreams~ Big
Victories!" |
Our Honorary Keynote Speaker
is our 17th National President and CEO, Benjamin Todd Jealous. This
will be a once in a lifetime Ida B. Wells Annual Banquet where we
not only are celebrating 100 years but our Branch 66 years. Mr.
Jealous is the youngest person to hold the position in the
organization's 100-year history; he is well positioned to answer the
call. During his career, he has served as president of the Rosenberg
Foundation, Director of the U.S. Human Rights Program at Amnesty
International and Executive Director of the National Newspaper
Publishers Association (NNPA), a federation of more than 200 black
community newspapers.
All quality non-profit
organizations need financial assistance to help achieve their goals.
The Freedom Fund Dinner is our major fundraiser of the year. Your
support is critical in assisting the local branch to provide
services to the poor, underserved, the underprivileged, the hopeless
the neglected, the people who have been discriminated and the
underrepresented and the people who have been denied equal access to
the "American Dream". Our journey remains unfinished. We
must fight for equal opportunity.
Please Join Us! Friday, October 2, 2009, at 7 p.m. Marriott Madison
West 1313 John Q. Hammons Drive, Middleton, WI Tickets: $90.00
(Includes $30.00 annual membership fee)
