AAES Chapter Christmas Home Delivery
One of the posts that was lost last month when I had trouble upgrading was about the AAES chapter’s (Inland Empire, CA) Christmas Home Delivery service project. I was a member of AAES for two years and they’re a great group of Brothers. Here’s a pic of Bros. Ruben Galvez (far left) and Manzell Baskerville with one of the families. You can find more pics here.

Detroit Alumni Chapter Hosts Theatre Fundraiser
In March, the brothers of Alpha Alpha Beta Sigma Metropolitan Detroit Alumni Chapter hosted their 19th Annual Detroit Repertory Theatre (“DRT”) fundraiser. Over 200 guests attend this annual event. The play this year was August Wilson’s “Radio Golf.” This event was our first fundraiser before the chapter was established and has been very successful for 19 straight years.
About Radio Golf
It is sad and ironic that the great American playwright, August Wilson died only days before his final play, Radio Golf, received it’s world premiere. Ironic because his life and his tenth play marked the end of his 20th century decade by decade depiction of the state of African American life in America

HIV/AIDS Prevention Education in South Africa
today’s post comes from bro. rodney a. brown, alpha alpha beta sigma chapter, detroit metropolitan alumni chapter.
Greetings Blue and White Family:
As many know, my gifts as an artist and passion for education are what push me forward in my field. These gifts and passion are why I write you today— I stand at the door of two remarkable opportunities.
I have again been invited to work and teach HIV/AIDS prevention education as a part of the Pedagogy Of Action (POA) team in the Black South African townships of Cato Crest and Kwa Zulu-Natal, and on December 17, 2008 my name was announced, as one of two choreographers in the country to participate in the ProDanza Choreographers Workshop in Castiglioncello, Italy. It is with your support and well-wishes that these opportunities become reality. I am writing to solicit funds for these career-advancing and socially relevant projects.
