On Friday, December 4, 2015 New Horizon Center, Inc. (NHC) hosted its 30th Pearl Anniversary. The event celebrated the New Horizon Center, its employees, friends, supporters, and all the families they have helped over the last 30 years. The crowd enjoyed a dinner banquet, entertainment, and awards presentation. The theme for the event was “We Can’t Stop Now,” and the keynote speaker was local poet Muhibb Dyer. Since 1985, NHC’s mission has been to actively combat the individual and community problems that contribute to the needless waste of human resources. They have done this through various community outreach programs and initiatives. At the ceremony, NHC president and CEO Saleem El-Amin (right) accepted a community service award on behalf of New Horizon, from the offices of Congresswoman Gwen Moore, for all the work that New Horizon has done in the city of Milwaukee. The award was presented by Donna Shumpert (left) who represents the office of Congresswoman Gwen Moore.
