Women United for Community Action (WUCA ) a group of women with talents, skills and diversity, is proud to announce an award of $2,000.00 to ACTSO (the Youth Component of the NAACP) which was raised from its 2015 Fashion/Luncheon Show.
The organization uses the following criteria to determine which youth group will receive financial consideration. The applying group must have beneficial programs directed by volunteer leaders that improve or enhance the quality of life of the youth of the Roanoke Community. Mrs. Doris Ennis, a retired educator and her committee of WUCA members make the final recommendation.
Women United for Community Action received the Presidential Award this year from the NAACP for its outstanding leadership ability and for offering financial support to the ACTSO Youth Component of the NAACP.
The organizer of the group (WUCA) is Mrs. Carolyn Patterson, who was recognized by the ACTSO Youth Group as a Community Impactor this past spring.
The ladies look forward to planning their Annual 2016 Fashion Show, which has become a much anticipated event. The date of the Fashion/Luncheon Show is Sunday, March 27, 2016, 2:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, Valley View. Tickets will go on sale in January 2016 and can be purchased from any of the 30 members of the group.
