Senator Sanders Hosts Free Father's Day Comedy Show

State Senator James Sanders (D-Rochdale) hosted a Father's Day Comedy Show on June 21, 2015 at August Martin High School. The performers included comedians Ray DeJon, Damon Rozier and SINC, singers Petawane and Jezel Loren, and music was provided by DJ "A."  About 900 people attended the free show, which revolved around dad-related humor and stories. A complimentary meal was provided by Golden Krust on Parsons Boulevard. Other sponsors were Cross Island Realtors, My Ideal Property, Evers Pharmacy, Holistic Concerns and Home Depot.

Senator Sanders said: "While any somewhat healthy man may sire a child, it takes a special breed to be a true and devoted father. We weather the storms of life and help our children develop a positive self-image. A good father is  known for his humility and strength, love and devotion,  dependability and imagination. Roots and wings, that’s what fathers give to their children."
