The weekend of Juneteenth got off to a great start. As part of Juneteenth and in honor of fathers in South Jackson, the Association of South Jackson Neighborhoods (ASJN) held its monthly outdoor drive-thru movie night at the Peggy Hobson Calhoun Community Center in the Will-O-Wood subdivision. To kickstart Father’s Day activities, ASJN handed out tickets to every father who attended the movie, “The Hate You Give”. A drawing was held and 10 lucky fathers received a bucket filled with all sorts of goodies just for dad. Half of the buckets contained personal items such as shaving cream, razors, cologne, soap and snacks, while others contained items to clean their personal vehicles. ASJN wants all fathers to know you are highly appreciated and we cannot make it without you. Most of all, we want you to know that we love you to the moon and back!

  ASJN salutes Khali Taylor, Caleb Williams, Christopher Jacobs, Jr. and Deshun Dixon for being carhops for the evening. They did a wonderful job serving refreshments to our movie guests and represented the football teams of Forest Hill and Wingfield High Schools quite well.
