Irene, Barbara and Victoria

MARDI GRAS in Temple Hills, MD.
The Hillcrest-Marlow Heights Civic Association held a Black History Month program on February 18, 2010 where they featured the music of Black musicians and celebrated the Mardi Gras tradition. Barbara is a member of this organization and she served on the Education Committee that planned the Mardi Gras celebration. Please note the three above dressed in Mardi Gras colors (purple, green and gold) and sporting their Mardi Gras beads. Also a friend of the family, Elois Jenkins who is a native of New Orleans, provided a scrumptious New Orleans meal for all to enjoy. This was a great night!
