Community center banquet set for Bluefield
The Bluefield Community Center hosts its annual banquet Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Herb Sims Youth Center on Stadium Drive with keynote speaker Edris Miller of Coopers. Miller, Bramwell area native and Bramwell Town Council member, is a retired educator active in community service and leads the Flat Top Missionary Baptist Association Ladies Auxiliary. The program features STARZ School of Dance and other performers, remarks by Mercer County officials, and the usual membership appeal. The banquet funds the center, established in 1918 to aid the African American community during segregation, and now serves all ages.
