During the coalition's annual meeting and awards luncheon at the Macon Hilton Saturday, the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) encouraged the women, including members of the Houston County Coalition, to work through all of their churches to increase the voting rolls. "You can get to heaven whether you're a Baptist or a Methodist, but you can t vote unless you're regis tered," he said of the ecumenical ef fort needed for widespread registra tion. During the coalition's ninth an nual conference, the group honored six Georgians who have worked towards registration, human rights and community advancement.
