5.00I am a travel agent from Baltimore/DC area. We recently visited Atlantic City on a FAM (Familiarization Tour) in June, 2025, some 25 travel agents. We contacted Henrietta Shelton Shelton, Chicken Bone Beach Foundation, to give a presentation and history of the Chicken Bone Beach Foundation to our group, and to enlighten us on the Youth Jazz Institute and the Mission created in 1997. Ms. Shelton was gracious in her presentation, provided the history, the ongoing concerts and family programs and events, provided the book entitled "Images of America" Chicken Bone Beach, and concertItinerary for 2025, 25th Annual Jazz on the Beach, which ran throughout the summer, and was a great success loved by all. Because of her efforts in that presentatiouon, our group will be bringing ongoing bus tours to Atlantic City with the hopes of Chicken Bone Beach Foundation at the forefront of History of Atlantic City in the Civil Rights Movement, Civil Rights Act of 1964. Thank you, Ms. Shelton for your attention to our group and such a powerful part of our tour, we will be contactng you again to learn more of the CBBHFI and the good work in our community and for the youth of Atlantic City. Best Regards. Camille LeClair, CTC, Travel Agent Travel Diplomat, Inc. Baltimore/Washington, DC
