“It was an honor to be recognized by such a venerated pillar in this community. The Grace -Ujamaa Community Development Corporations have made such an impact, particularly in the area of affordable housing. On behalf of Wartburg, my friends and my family, I want to thank the Awards Dinner Committee for what was a very special night,” said Mr. Gentner.
