EUGENE PAYNE,
JR. SETS AN EXAMPLE

In a time when "volunteering"
and "community service" are much talked about, we can learn a lot
from the fine example of Mr. Eugene Payne, Jr. Not only is he an active federationist
and member of the Diabetes Action Network, distributing VOICE OF THE DIABETIC
in inner-city and suburban Detroit, he also finds time for a great deal of community
service. To top that, he's running for city council! Why? "I want to set
an example for blind people, to show them they can get out and do things,"
he says.
Mr. Payne is president of Christian
Outreach Association, president of the New Cop Block Club (a neighborhood watch
organization), president of the Displaced Persons Association, a member of the
Detroit Urban League, the Michigan Consumers' Lobby, the Michigan Senior Citizens'
Group, the City Council Community Action Group, the University New Gratiot Lions'
Club, the Michigan State Police Association, the Detroit Police 9th Precinct
Buoy, and the Michigan Landlord Association. He was a Democratic National Convention
delegate in 1992, and is a licensed Notary Public. In the course of his service,
Mr. Payne has collected quite a few testimonials and certificates of appreciation,
from the City of Detroit, Wayne County, and the State of Michigan.
We can all learn from a good example.
Eugene Payne provides one of the best. Thanks, Eugene!
