Each day is a day for children, so why not make every day Mother's Day?
These wise words spoken by Shirley Abney, mistress of ceremony, at the Smith-Hazel Recreation Center's Pre-Mother's Day Luncheon fell on a receptive crowd. She continued by encouraging everyone to show our love every day in some respect to mothers, as without them no one would be here.
The Pre-Mother's Day Luncheon, a tradition at Smith-Hazel, offered the community the opportunity to honor mothers with an early celebration. The theme for this year's event was Celebrating Generations of Mothers for which nearly 60 people gathered.
During the luncheon, awards were presented to the oldest mother, the youngest mother, the mother of the most children, the mother with the most grandchildren and the Mother of the Year.
The 2008 recipient of the Mother of the Year award is Hazel Johnson Cadle. Selected by event board members, Cadle was recognized for her devotion to her children as well as giving to the community. Born in Aiken County, she is the mother of three children and the grandmother of six.
Cadle, a retired 40-year Aiken County public school teacher, served as the secretary for the Beaver Dam Baptist Church for 43 years while raising her family. Since retirement, she has taught at the Lower Savannah Correctional Center and the Minnie Palmore House and served on the Area 1 Advisory Board.
She serves as the church's Women's Ministry president, a member of the Phinice Young Choir and a Sunday School teacher.
Cadle's advice to all mothers young and old is to stand strong in their faith and pray. She spoke to the audience about the power and importance of prayer and the difference it can make in life.
