A Letter From the Austin Branch NAACP President, Nelson Linder

Greetings,  

This year the NAACP celebrates 105 years of history as the nation's oldest civil rights organization. We would love to have your support in at least one or more ways. We are reaching out earlier this year to allow you time to become a sponsor, buy tickets/tables to the banquet, make a donation, or purchase an ad in our collectible annual souvenir journal.

  On December 6, 2014 at 6:00 p.m., the Austin NAACP Branch will host its 49th Annual DeWitty/Overton Freedom Fund Banquet at the Hyatt Regency Austin Hotel, 208 Barton Springs Drive, Austin, Texas 78704.

The banquet honors two great Texans who fought on the front lines for civil rights: Arthur B. DeWitty and Volma Overton.  The DeWitty/Overton Award recipient is Pamela Wade of the City of Austin- Human Resource, Municipal Civil Service.  The prestigious Captain Louie White Award recipient is Captain Cyril Friday of the Travis County Sherriff’s Department. This year’s theme is “African American Quality of Life 10 Year Assessment and Review”.

The Austin NAACP branch is proud to announce our keynote speaker for the 2014 banquet will be Beverly Kearney former University of Texas Head Coach of Women’s Track and Field for 21 years.  Beverly Kearney led the Longhorns to six NCAA Track Championships and has been a source of inspiration for African American Athletes all over the nation. In 2006, Kearney founded Pursuits of Dreams, a nonprofit organization committed to reconnecting and assisting individuals with their Life's purpose, passions, and dreams.   

Our annual banquet also offers a wonderful marketing opportunity for local politicians, business owners, lawyers, doctors, churches, restaurants, vendors, and other groups to advertise in our collectible souvenir journal at a very low rate. Your ad will be viewed by over 600 guests in one night!

You also have an opportunity to support the NAACP by submitting ads for memorials, graduations, retirements, congratulations and future announcements and events.  We have pages dedicated to those who want their names posted as patrons (you can gather names from churches, sports teams, and family members etc. to add as patrons).  
 
If you would like to attend the banquet please visit our website to purchase tickets or tables (seated for 10).  www.naacpaustin.com  (Click on 49th DeWitty/Overton Banquet).  If you have additional questions about tickets or tables, please contact Polly Street @ 512-497-4342 or [email protected] .  Please see the Rate Plan Form to submit an ad for the souvenir journal.  

On behalf of the Austin NAACP Branch, we would like to thank you in advance for your support.


Warmest regards,
Nelson Linder

Austin NAACP President

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

When the man I love broke my heart, I felt something did left me because I wasn't myself anymore. I had gone to several places for help and counseling yet, I got no results. Until I found [email protected] and I was introduced to Dr Muna by text +2347035449257. I explained my marriage issues with Dr Muna. I’m glad I trusted him by doing all he requested. He performed a spiritual cleansing to banish negative energies that was battling against the joy in my home and then casted a love spell. After 72 hours, the man I was missing began to call and after our conversation, he texted how much he badly misses me too. He apologized for leaving me in the dark and we got back together again.
