Supporters of former state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson are planning an "appreciation" of the Roxbury Democrat this week.

In a flyer circulated to media outlets and among supporters of Wilkerson, the event is billed as a "Feast of Love." Supporters are urged to drop by and "share and listen to other stories of what Dianne has done for the community at large."

The event is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 24, at Prince Hall in Grove Hall, starting at 6 p.m.

Wilkerson, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges and was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison last month, is appealing her jail sentence.
