We Were Face-book Before Facebook Was Facebook.

Remember how we've always known that FACES are important in getting to know each other?  Getting your picture made 'at the banner', has become 'a thing' at the cafe, now with over 2,000 pix online. *smile*  It gives you a quick look at how the cafe has become the place to meet, especially getting to know others in a multicultural setting.



And now our Facebook Group has taken everything up a notch.  It's where our most active online action is.

It's a great place to know what's going on daily at the cafe.  And a place you can connect to each other directly.

So join us there also.

But don't forget to get YOUR PICTURE MADE... 'AT THE BANNER'... when you come to the cafe.

Blessings!

Servaas Public Assembly Room of the City-County Building. Mayor Ballard will present Elease Womack, known as Mother Womack, with the Lucious Newsom Community Legacy Award for her continued commitment to serving her community.

Unleavened Bread Café at the intersection of Central Avenue and 30th Street has served as a community meeting place, offering everything from Bible study and living skills classes to a back to school rally, Thanksgiving giveaways and much, much more. The Lucious Newsom Community Legacy Award honors individuals who promote outstanding dedication and selflessness in community service.

A Look Back: Race-car Drawing By Daniel Washum at Age 9

Yesterday during 'Ask Anything Saturday', we enjoyed looking back at something we'd done in the early days at the cafe. Elease's grandson Daniel, now 17, was only 9 years old when he penciled us a race-car (rear spoiler, even) to work with. We scanned it into our computer as an image, and then he colored it in using MS Paint.

Join us any Saturday morning at 10am (til noon) as we freely work through your questions -- computer questions or perhaps even answers to your key questions in life!
