Adviser Ed Golden and Black Culture Club member Ben Miller look over the program for the Feb. 20 “Dine & Convo, Your Vote Matters.” The
importance of voting will be the focus of a dinner and convocation on Feb. 20,
sponsored by the Black Culture Club at Mansfield Senior High.
Chef Ed
Golden, the club adviser, said the program will begin at 5 p.m. with an Italian
pasta dinner in the Cub Room featuring spaghetti, salad, bread and beverage.
The cost will be $10 for an adult, $5 for a student.
Proceeds
from the dinner will support Black Culture Club activities.
After dinner
the program will resume in the auditorium, where guest speaker Jamie Johnson
will discuss how voting impacts a community.

Golden also
said Thursday the club has adopted a vision statement, which says:
“As the Mansfield Senior High School Black Culture Club, our mission is to engage, teach and promote knowledge of African-American culture and diversity to students and staff through educational programs, public dialogue, and continuous involvement in community and school events. The Black Culture Club meets weekly and provides a safe environment to share ideas and experiences and is open to all students. It is an invitation for all MSHS students to learn the African-American past, engage in the present to advance it, and dream of a future to expand it.”
