Goodman Acker to help with holiday ‘giveaway’ at Fellowship Chapel
Rev.Wendell and Lady Monica Anthony of Fellowship Chapel have made Thanksgiving turkey dinner giveaways a tradition for the last 30 years, providing more than 20,000 dinners. Now, Goodman Acker PC of Southfield is becoming part of the tradition.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Goodman Acker is pleased to be a part of this community event as many local residents remain in need of a helping hand.
This year, Fellowship Chapel has collaborated with Goodman Acker to purchase and donate 500 turkeys that will be given away on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at Fellowship Chapel. In addition to a fresh and plump turkey to complete the Thanksgiving meal, green beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, cranberry sauce, and rolls will be included.
Goodman Acker employees will be on hand to distribute the dinners on November 26.
“We are honored to partner with Fellowship Chapel on this important project,” said Jordan Acker of the Southfield law firm. “Making sure families can celebrate Thanksgiving is a wonderful mission that Reverend and Lady Anthony have been performing for the last 30 years. I’m honored that Goodman Acker can do our part to help grow this mission.”
Lady Monica Anthony, director, JEWJCC, the community outreach arm of Fellowship Chapel, said, “It’s a blessing to be able to bless those in need, but the real joy comes in providing programs throughout the year in an attempt to decrease the need. We appreciate Goodman Acker for the much needed support."
Secretary Benson names Jonathan Brater Director of Elections
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has named Jonathan Brater as the incoming director of the Michigan Bureau of Elections.
Brater will begin Jan. 2, following the retirement of current director Sally Williams. Brater has worked alongside Williams for the past 11 months as he focused on elections while serving as the Department of State’s Legal Policy Director. He previously served as counsel for the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, a non-partisan nonprofit, where his work focused on modernizing elections in partnership with secretaries of state around the country. A nationally recognized expert on voter registration law and policy, he graduated cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School, where he served as executive editor of the Michigan Law Review.
Brater, an Ann Arbor native, was selected after an open application process that began shortly after Williams announced her retirement earlier this month. She will stay on through the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition. Williams served as Director of Elections for two years, succeeding Chris Thomas, who held the position for 36 years, and currently chairs the Department of State’s Election Modernization Advisory Committee.
“I feel fortunate for the opportunity to have worked with both Sally and Chris, and humbled by the opportunity to continue their legacy,” said Brater. “I have spent my career seeking to strengthen democracy for all people, and I will continue that work for the people of Michigan.”
