Temperature Monday t-shirt packages went to Gianna Miller, Tori Ferrari, Alisia Wright, Yoland Anthony, Rohan Cupid, Rodene Cyrus, Travern Adams, Joan Millington, Reba Cozier and Odinga Browne while FLOW Monday t-shirt packages went to Romario Robertson, Ann Marie Joseph, Marla Mulraine, Beverly Glasgow, Michelle Cumberbatch, Stephanie Arrington, Kathy DeNobriga, Kevin Campbell, June Jones, Emron Alexander and Julia Sam.
