Team members participating in the three-mile walk included Barbara J. Thomas; president, Josetta B. Patterson; connection chairman, Luwando Wright-Hines, Veronica Phillips, Malikh Williams, Michelle Green, Alana DaSent and Sherri Cooper. Volunteers participating included Camille Hines, EYL Girl (Emerging Young Leader) and David Hines.
