Juneteenth and Freedom from Bondage

Posted by · May 27, 2015 8:54 PM

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas in June 1865 and, more generally, the emancipation declared by President Abraham Lincoln. Celebrated on June 19, the term blends the words June and nineteenth, to create “Junteenth” which is a recognized state holiday or special day of observance in most states (including Michigan). We asked 14th CD Executive Committee member and former GOP candidate for U.S. Congress Christina Barr to offer her thoughts on Juneteenth 2015. See Christina’s thoughts at this link.

“Walk for Israel” on May 17

Posted by · May 11, 2015 2:56 PM

Join members of the Greater West Bloomfield Republicans, (GWBR) the Oakland County Young Republicans and others as we “Walk for Israel”. Started ten years ago, the “Walk for Israel”, sponsored by Temple Shir Shalom, has grown in size and prominence by appealing to a broad cross section of the community in the Detroit metropolitan area. See more details at http:/walkforisrael/.org/.

The program begins at 11 a.m. followed by a free kosher lunch at 12:30 p.m. The Walk itself begins at 1:30 p.m. See the link for details or just look for the GOP float (shown below) as the Walk begins on May 17 at 1:30 p.m. at the corner of Walnut Lake Road and Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield. The 2014 event looked like this https://youtu.be/G60PD1GyxjI.

I hope you can join us this Sunday. Questions? call 313 920 3080
