Hometown Hero, Savannah 100's VP, Major Terry Enoch

By Jennifer Serda

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - When you think of a person in law enforcement you may use words like brave, courageous, and protectors to describe them; but the most important description is often left out public servant.

.

This Hometown Hero is making his service to the Savannah-Chatham community his number one priority. For more 25 years Major Terry Enoch has worn a Chatham County Sheriff's badge working in many aspects in the Department.

.

Major Enoch is now in-charge of the Enforcement Bureau including street operations and court services.

.

"The services that I provide here are people services so every day I try to invest in the people that actually go out and do the work I try to give them the tools and resources they need to get the job done," said Enoch.

.

Recently Major Enoch was also awarded at the State Capitol with an award commending him for decades of service; he says he has always known he would work as a public servant thanks to positive role models in his own life.

.

"I was raised by my mother to be a public servant she worked in juvenile detention always taking care of other people her life, she served God through serving others and that is something she instilled in all of her kids and so it's somewhat natural for me to be engaged in public service in some aspect ," said Enoch.

.

For his dedication to service Major Terry Enoch is a WTOC Hometown hero.

2010 Gala, April 10th - Making a Difference.

On April 10th at Savannah's International Trade & Convention Center, Brethren, local and national leaders, parents and mentees, ordinary citizens of Savannah, and others will gather to honor today's leaders, making a difference for tomorrow's leaders - the youth of the Savannah 100's signature programs - mentoring, education, economic development, health & wellness, and leadership development.

.

This year's Gala will spotlight the recipient of the Savannah 100's Second Lifetime Achievement Award, persons who have made outstanding contributions to the betterment of Savannah, and - of course - scholarship recipients, and other leaders of tomorrow. Charles Gilyard will be our Gala Program Manager.

.

If you haven't already picked up your ten tickets, please contact Lloyd A. Johnson at 912-257-8485 or LJohnson@100BlackMenSav.org to make arrangements to do so. We're continuing last year's "Early Bird" pricing policy. For tables and tickets, for which payment in full is received on or before March 1, 2010, price points will remain $75 per person and a table for ten will remain at $750. For tables and tickets, for which payment is received after March 1, 2010 individual tickets will cost $99 per person and a table for ten will cost $990.

.

Many of our mentees and Collegiate 100 will need help to attend our Gala. We're asking those of us who might be unable to attend the Gala or corporate sponsors to purchase a table for those leaders of tomorrow. The names of sponsoring individuals and organizations will be prominently noted at each sponsored table and in our Gala program.

.

Corporate contributions and advertising in our souvenir Gala journal provide by far, the most funds which support our scholarship programs, youth programs, and mentees' participation in our National Convention. So we're asking each member and mentee to take personal responsibility for securing at least one page of advertising in our journal. The rate sheet and instructions are being sent to each member under separate cover. Thanks to Lamar Lawrence lamar.lawrence@yahoo.com for overseeing this massive undertaking.

.

Ticket checks and money orders should be sent to 100 Black Men of Savannah, Inc., ATTN: Gala Committee, PO Box 14606, Savannah, GA 31416. For general information, contact: 2010Gala@100BlackMenSav.org.

Dr. David Satcher, Gala Keynote Speaker

The 100 Black Men of Savannah announced earlier today that Dr. David Satcher, former Surgeon General of the U.S. and Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and presently Director of the Center of Excellence on Health Disparity at the Morehouse School of Medicine, will be the keynote speaker at its Thirteenth Annual Benefit Gala on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at the Hyatt Hotel Savannah, GA.

As one of the world’s leading public health physicians, Dr. Satcher was intimately involved in the development of Unnatural Causes: Is inequality making us sick?, a health & wellness initiative of the 100 Black Men of Savannah, supported by the Healthcare Georgia Foundation, whose main themes are: health and longevity are related to socioeconomic status, people of color face an additional health burden, and our health and well-being are tied to policies that promote economic and social justice.

Dr. Satcher is expected to address health disparities in the U.S. in general and Georgia in particular and startling new findings that suggest there is much more to poor health than bad habits, inadequate health care or unlucky genes and circles in on a slow killer in plain view: the social circumstances in which we are born, live and work, can affect our risk for disease and “excess” death just as surely as germs and viruses.

Net proceeds from the Gala support the Savannah 100's Four for the Future programs - education, mentoring, health & wellness and economic development. Sponsorship opportunities and table ticket information will be made available shortly.
