To the Editor:

 

Many thanks to Mayor Dick Alcombright, NBCC Director Al Bashevkin, benefactor Jack Wadsworth, contractor Bigs Waterman and designer Ann McCallum for the upcoming opening of an UNO Community Center on River Street.

 

This has been a dream of mine for many years, and thank God it will soon be a reality. 

 

I'd like to thank several people who are also responsible for the success of UNO, namely former Mayor John Barrett III, for the first 20 years of UNO, for all the help and support he gave us. Also, to Keith Bona and David Dunn our first two organizers who still support all our events, and to the many people who served on our Steering Committee whom without, none of the things UNO succeeded in doing would have happened. A special remembrance of our two most dedicated members, Edna Rudnick and Wallita Jordan.

 

Thanks to my family, the media and everyone in our community for their constant support. 

 

 

Shirley A. Davis
