More than 400 guests showed up and showed out for the 2016 AKA Fall Fantasy on Nov. 12, at the St. John’s Cathedral Center, in Homestead. This year’s theme was “Steel, Silk and Pearls.” The Alpha Alpha Omega Chapter once again hosted this annual event with TeeJay the Deejay making a repeat performance. Teejay kept the crowd on their feet the entire evening. Some ladies shopped with vendor Sharon Butler of Cleveland, Ohio, while others mixed and mingled with friends and sorors. The proceeds from this fundraiser is expected to benefit AAO community programs.
Alpha Kappa Alpha members will implement International Community Service Days annually to highlight the organization’s collective impact in program target areas:
•Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service (January)
•Pink Goes Red for Heart Health Day (February)
•1908 Playgrounds Mobilization Day (May)
•The Longest Day™ Alzheimer’s Support Activities (June)
•Mental Health Awareness Day (July)
•Childhood Hunger Awareness Day (October)
Chapter President Monica LaMar, Phd, says, “I am certain that 2016 and 2017 year promises to be more exciting and eventful for our sisterhood. We will embark upon another year of providing ‘service to all mankind.’ We continue to be dedicated to youth, health promotion, strengthening our families, environmental ownership, and making a global impact as is evident on our local, regional and international levels.”
