By Laurie Hahn, Times-Union Staff Writer-

A two-hour gospel music tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is planned for Jan. 20, beginning at 6 p.m.

The Y-Zone Gospel Choir from Indianapolis will perform at the Rodeheaver Auditorium, Winona Lake. The Committee to Commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Inc. will sponsor this 14th anual forum, titled "Building Bridges to Our Future," to commemorate the birth date and accomplishments of King. Admission to the musical tribute is free, but a free-will offering will be welcomed.

The Y-Zone Gospel Choir is part of an ongoing Friday night teen choir program at the Fall Creek Branch YMCA. The choir formed in 1999 and includes approximately 75 high school students from various neighborhoods in Indianapolis. Fifty-eight youths will perform Jan. 20 at Rodeheaver.

The Y-Zone performed in the Indy Jazz Fest opening for the Temptations, at the Governor's Salute to Gospel, at Gospel at the State Fair and many other functions around Indianapolis and at YMCA General Assembly in New Orleans. They also are scheduled to perform in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

During the afternoon before the Y-Zone's performance Jan. 20, the 58 inner-city youths will be matched with local mentors for the purpose of bridging the Kosciusko County community to the youths' Indianapolis community.

The annual luncheon will take place the following afternoon, Jan. 21, beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Rodeheaver. The Y-Zone will perform Jan. 21 after a presentation of the 2001 Academic Excellence Awards.

For more information about the Jan. 20 performance, the mentoring program or the Jan. 21 luncheon, call 267-8853. [[In-content Ad]]
