Very few people can call themselves centenarians. Douglas Homes resident Annie Jemison is one of them. She turned 101 years old on March 1. New Community hosted a celebration for her in the Community Room of Douglas Homes, 15 Hill St., Newark, on March 3. Walter Bryant of Newark Council President C. Lawrence Crump’s office presented Jemison with a proclamation from the city and she was surrounded by friends, family and New Community staff members. Everyone in attendance enjoyed lunch and cake in honor of the birthday girl. We wish Ms. Jemison a wonderful year ahead!
