BY CSENEWS The return of the Holiday Splendor Scholarship Benefit Gala took place Saturday, December 31, 2022 here in the Hub City. The 28th Annual event, sponsored by the 100 Black Men of West Tennessee, Inc. had taken a two year hiatus due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Gala patrons experienced the “wow factor” as they entered the Carl Perkins Civic Center Ballroom, which was transformed into a venue of true holiday splendor. Green and snowflacked Christmas trees flooded the area while a draped ceiling provided the dramatic essence of opulence. WOW! Upon arrival, the guests were able to ‘Mingle and Jingle” while awaiting the official start of the program. There were hugs and handshakes since some of the patrons had not seen each other since the 2019 gala. The dapper 21st Century Scholars, clad in tuxedos, ably introduced themselves and scholar Jah’Karius Conley delivered moving and captivating remarks on behalf of all the scholars. The scholars are Brennan Forrest, Kelvin Rhyne, Quinton Williams, Jordan Williams, Joshua Durr, Ian Porter, Zach Cunningham, Jotavious Dotson, and Jah’Karious Conley.
