“Great Minds Think Alike,” and that’s what took place during a luncheon meeting Thursday at the Southeast Center. A group of ministers and the Police Chief Randy Fontenot discussed and made plans for a family event.
Leaders Building Leaders will sponsor its second event in Eunice, “It’s In Your Hands” Family Fun Day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Southeast Center.
This is the second event of the Leaders Building Leaders. The first was a friendly basketball game of ministers against Eunice police officers in July.
Leaders Building Leaders formed as a way of communicating, working together, and getting more involved with the community, its families, and reaching out and forming relationships with town leaders.
Over 20 pastors and ministers from local and nearby churches will be at the family fun event. There will be over 26 vendors, some will include health vendors, on the grounds.
Jacqueline Vallare, a volunteer leader, said, “There will be something for all ages, kids, youth, teens, women, and men. Guest speakers will be geared for all age groups, a Girls’ Day with a speaker, “Its A Guy Thing,” with a speaker, and there will be food, games, activities, crafts, fun jumps, water slides, and so much more.”
The event will begin at 9 a.m. with praise and worship by the Rev. Allen Ben of Unity Fellowship Word Ministries. LA Will will perform at 11:30 a.m. Lunch and fellowship will be at noon.
