As salaamu alaykum dear sisters,

I just want to invite you all the the FREE, FREE, FREE, Islamic University Online. Windows XP and Vista users can join anytime.

They offer Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism) classes which it is our way of life in general, they cover every aspect of it, not just the basics that we commonly know.

They also offer Authentic Hadith Classes, there are a lot of weak or unreliable Hadiths out there, therefore we have a lot of people misguiding us many times, or making haraam what Allah has made lawful for us and viceversa, making lawful what Allah has forbidden for us.

Supporting Education and Awareness for Our Youth.

The Bill Pickett Memorial Scholarship Fund (”BPMSF”) strongly supports education and benefits youth each year by providing scholarships to Black high school and college students involved or interested in pursuing careers in Rodeo or animal Science.

This special scholarship is awarded based on academic standing, determination, student needs, community involvement and professional recommendations.

The BPMSF is also very fortunate to receive direct financial support from various individuals and businesses. These funds help to ensure selected students an opportunity both to further their education and to participate in rodeos, one of the most exciting sporting events, and one which is constantly growing in popularity. More importantly, these funds provide these youth with a commitment to their future.

The first donations were received from Ed Frazier, Tulsa Oklahoma, Former State Senator Regis Goff, and Former State Representative Sam Williams of Breckenridge, CO., Bill Raye of Los Angeles, CA, Jim Poole of Pueblo, CO and R&B singer Joyce Kennedy. Corporate sponsors were Jerome Whitney/UPS, Northwest Bank/Bob Willis, and Moses Brewer/Coors Brewing Company. We would like to thank these individuals for their generosity and support in getting the BPMSF started.

The first scholarship recipients were Angela Moreaux of Beaumont, Texas, Nikki Douch of Houston, Texas, Lee and Dawn Akin of Hemet, California, Heather Buck from Hempstead, Texas and Tiffany Carter (1993) Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo Rookie of the Year) from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Amber Stovall, (1997) Rookie of the Year, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Tamsen Douglas, (1999) Rookie of the Year, Reno, Nevada, and Craig Jackson, (2001) Bull Riding Champion, Prairie View, Texas.

The BPMSF congratulates and salutes these students who have persevered beyond expectations, and commends their selfless spirit, as they become upstanding citizens of their respective communities.

The BPMSF currently is developing a traveling exhibit of Black Cowboys of the West and
“The Bill Pickett Spirit of the West Trail Ride”.

For donations and volunteers, please call (303) 373-1246 or fax information to
(303) 373-2747.
