92nd Far Western Regional Conference Souvenir Journal

Greetings to the Fascinating Far Western Region, Thank you, sincerely, for your support of the 92nd Far Western Regional Conference souvenir booklet. Your ads, thank you notes, and congratulatory flyers are phenomenal demonstrations of our sisterhood and your dynamic talents. For that, I am sending pink tea roses your way.

I am so grateful for the bonds we share through the magnificent and impactful vision of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Planning this regional conference has offered the "Poised to Lead" Regional Team unique insight into your communities and the gains you’re making, daily, even in a contactless environment. I look forward to continuing our collective work as our region grows and excels, even more, this year.

Each Alpha Kappa Alpha woman brings a unique and valued presence to our esteemed organization and to the Far Western Region. The team and I are pleased to have created unforgettable moments for you. We believe this will be one of the most productive and entertaining conferences in our Region’s 10-decade history! With nearly 2,000 members registered, we are excited to reveal this curated experience for your personal and professional development.

Forever Fascinating, this year's theme, embodies our commitment to producing a successful conference, despite being 100% virtual. In no small part, the conference's success is because of support provided by our chapter and general members, business partners, community leaders, and contributing friends. Forever Fascinating could not have been executed without your prayers, thoughtfulness, and generosity. I am genuinely fascinated by you!

Yours in service,

Shelby D. Boagni

Eta Nu Omega

Sixty & Sensational Eta Nu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, was chartered on October 28, 1961, in the city of Rialto, California. The organizing efforts of Sylvia Chichocki, Salena Gregory, and Thelma Lewis sixty years ago were the beginning of our illustrious chapter's service to the Riverside and San Bernardino area.

Under the leadership of Regional Director Soror Lucille Bryant, International President Marjorie Parker, and International Secretary Laura K. Campbell, our work began.

Our Emerging Young Leaders Program has grown and expanded to two campuses where over a hundred young ladies are mentored and given the opportunities to become leaders and role models. Our debutante balls have helped hundreds of young ladies and escorts learn etiquette and poise, and have raised funds to help with college. Our bi-yearly fashion show has raised and rewarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to thousands of youth to support them in their college endeavors. Our community volunteering and Operation Christmas Blessings has given over 1,000 sleeping bags, socks, and tents to those in need.

Sixty years of Sensational Service to all Mankind.

"We’ve Come This Far by Faith"
