For the past month I have been extremely busy here in the Desert. The African American Chamber of Commerce Palm Springs 3rd Annual Dinner was a big success.

Actor Malik Yoba did an outstanding job as our Keynote Speaker. Many of our attendees were impressed with his warming personality and down to earth attitude.

Actress Tanya Wright did a wonderful job as our Mistress of Ceremonies in her 70's style outfit.

A special thank you to all of those who were able to make this happen and to those that attended.
