Desc:Out of the 40+ applications received, and out of the top 20 who qualified for an interview. Pictured here are those selected to receive a financial scholarship from the Sacramento Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. All of the recipients were scholars who heavily participated in events and activities doing public service in the Sacramento community. I believe the lowest GPA was a 3.6. This is one of my favorite committees; I serve on in our chapter. Seeing these young people keeps me encouraged that our tomorrow has hope of it being bright for generations to come.

Valencia, Spain. It was founded by the Romans in 138 B.C. (though I'm surprised the Phoenicians weren't hanging out in the area before that; I'm guessing they probably were. The Carthaginians, too, for that matter...)
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain after Barcelona and Madrid with a population around 800,000 in the city proper.
When I first came here two years ago, I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the town.
It's similar to Barcelona in some respects (both speak Catalan before Castellano, and the architecture here reminds me quite a bit of L'Eixample in Barcelona...but without the square grid streets of that city.)
Valencia is compace enough that things are quite walkable (though a healthy walk) depending on where you stay. There's also a metro, though I've never used it here, so have no idea where it goes or how useful it is
Last time and this, I stayed close enough to downtown that I just walked everywhere.
The heart of the city is the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (City Hall). From there, about 200 meters south is the Estacio del Nord train station (built in 1917). next to the Plaza de Toros (1850-59). On the main square is quite a bit of rather modern (19th-20th century, anyway) architecture. Also on the main square (and this probably isn't a good thing if you're looking for authentic Spain), you can currently find the following eating establishments: Taco Bell, Burger King, Blue Frog, Five Guys, and within a 3 minute walk, Hard Rock Cafe and McDonald's. There are restaurants around where you can get Valencia's famous paella...don't worry about that.
Walking north from the square, you'll reach the not-so-modern cathedral in about 300-400 meters. That church was built between the 13th and 15th century. En route, with a slight detour of 200 meters, you'd run into Mercat Central, which has been around since the 1830s, with the current building standing since 1928.
If you were to keep walking beyond the cathedral in a straight line, you'd pass by the Plaza del Virgen with its nice fountain and eventually bump into the former riverbed of the Rio Turia.
It's a former riverbed because it once flooded, so they ended up diverting the river and it's now a wonderful park for running, exercise, relaxation, picnics, etc.
If you were to head east...ish in the park from due north of the cathedral, you'd immediately pass the Museum of Fine Arts, some nice bridges, Palace of Music, and plenty of green space before eventually arriving (about 3 km later) at the City of Arts and Sciences.
This is one of the highlights of visiting Spain if you ask me, just for the ultramodernity of it. It's a complex that consists of the Palau de les Arts (basically opera house), Hemisferic (not sure what its purpose is, but it's the next in line and looks like an eye from the side), science museum (supposed to resemble a whale's skeleton), a bridge, the Agora (concert venue; it's the one that sticks up like a blue fingernail) and, beyond that, Oceanografic -- which I didn't make it to last time or this one.
Besides those highlights, it's simply fun to wander around the streets near the cathedral and City Hall and get lost. You'll bump into plenty of bars and cafes (a bit Bohemian) on the west side of this area and more of a shopping area (cleaner/more sterile feel) on the east side of this area.
Valencia...it's the type of town I'll always enjoy.

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. During an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, kept his knee on the side of Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down. During the last three minutes, Floyd was motionless. After Floyd's death, demonstrations and protests against racism and police brutality were held across the US and the world, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the movement and gathering restrictions put in place by governments to prevent the spread of the coronavirus

PEKINA, August 20
The foundation stone of the new institute was laid by Mr M Duffy last Wednesday.
The weather was glorious and there was a large gathering of people from all parts of the district.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the Union Jack was run up, and all joined heartily in singing ''God save the King,” and in giving cheers for Mr Duffy [Michael Duffy].
The President (Mr Redden) in his introductory remarks, referred to the splendid work done by Mr Hinton (treasurer) and Mr R D Hanna (secretary), who have been indefatigable in their efforts to bring the work to its present satisfactory position.
A football match between Booleroo v Pekina, furnished one of the best-contested struggles witnessed on the recreation grounds, and resulted in a win for the visitors by four points.
Afternoon tea was provided and was well patronised. A dance and supper took place in the evening. The proceeds for the day amounted to £40. [Ref: Register 21-8-1906]
PEKINA, November 17
On Wednesday last the new institute was opened. The weather was perfect, and the success of the gathering was never in doubt. The need for an institute has been felt for many years, and an attempt was made to build one about 15 years ago, but it was abandoned for want of support.
About 12 months ago the Rev J O'Flynn took the matter in hand, and, with never-tiring zeal, pushed it along for three months, when he had to leave on account of ill-health.
The work was immediately taken up by Mr W G Hinton (treasurer) and Mr R D Hanna (secretary), but the success of the undertaking is mainly due to the early efforts of Father O'Flynn.
The management of the whole business was left to Messrs Hinton and Hanna. Plans were drawn by the latter.
Pekina has long enjoyed the reputation of being a sure wheat growing district, and has never failed utterly, while failures have been all too frequent eastward and north from here. Orroroo mills have had to rely on Pekina wheat for supplies on more occasions than one cares to think of, and even this year reports are common of wheat dying off in other districts around, though prospects are still high for a good return here. The fact that the institute will be completed with a debt of only £100, while the total cost is something like £360, goes to prove that the district is a fairly prosperous one.
Mr Miller, MP, performed the opening ceremony. He pointed out the advantages of an institute and expressed his pleasure at being present.
Afternoon tea was provided in the hall by the ladies and a fair was held.
In the evening a concert was given, and the room was crowded. The Orroroo Brass Band played selections.
At the close of the entertainment Mr J Travers (the newly elected member for Flinders), who resides here, moved a vote of thanks to all who had assisted, and spoke in glowing terms of the excellent work done by the secretary.
A ball followed. The takings amounted to £54 and resulted in a profit of £52. [Ref: Observer 24-11-1906]
