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.
