The members of the Annapolis Alumnae Chapter have carried the torch of the Founders by implementing programs in the Five Point Thrust--Educational Development, Economic Development, Mental and Physical Health, International Awareness and Involvement, and Political Awareness and Involvement.  We have made and continue to make significant contributions to the community through seminars, job fairs, college fairs, tours of Annapolis, museums and college campuses.  Scholarships for our young people have been presented through the Muriel Holland Scholarship; the Ida Rogers Scholarship; and the Outstanding Minority Scholar Award which recognizes graduating seniors with a 3.0 grade point average. In addition, the chapter continues to sponsor forums and partner with other community agencies to provide HIV/AIDS awareness and services.  The chapter's Jean Sparrow Campership sends youngsters to summer camp.  We have supported residents at the Crofton Convalescent Center and Crownsville Hospital Center.  Also, contributions were given to the Lighthouse Shelter.
