By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Of course you know that just as soon as I posted my Event Alert last week, a whole bunch of additional activities came pouring in - far too many to be ignored - and too important to make you wait for them.  And, even as I write this, by the time I post it, someone will have sent me more info - but that's the world we live it - so many wonderful things to do.  So here goes my EVENT ALERT EXTRA:

Before I post anything else, I must first post to all CALIFORNIA VOTERS 

TUESDAY JUNE 7 IS PRIMARY DAY IN CALIFORNIA - GET UP, GET OUT AND VOTE 

MAKE YOUR CHOICE KNOWN 

AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OTHER STATES THAT ARE HAVING THEIR PRIMARIES TOMORROW - THIS IS FAR TOO IMPORTANT - EXERCISE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE !!!  NO EXCUSES!!

SECONDLY,  June is Black Music Month - the entire month is in celebration of  all we have contributed to the realm of music - so heads up - as I celebrate all the wonderful musicians - from Jazz, to RnB, to Blues, to Soul, Reggae, Funk, Rock, Caribbean, Latin, African (which is where it all began) to classical - our creativity, talent, imagination RHYTHM - celebrate, appreciate - these are true treasures and our gift to the world.
