Chancellor, University of Maryland, at College Park as principal speaker. Attendees included the Howard County Executive and all members of the Howard County Council as well as the Superintendent of Schools and School Board members. The Chapter has been serving in the capacity of alumni advisor to Nu Kappa for several years. We annually budget funds for the college brother activities and encourage them to participate in our programmatic and social activities as well as provide opportunities for the college brothers to raise additional funds for support of their own activities. We are particularly proud of our chapter's sponsorship of a youth basketball team in league play, the Alpha Jaguars. This effort involves nine boys. The team has won league and tournament championships. We have also sponsored a collegiate mixer for area college students held between Christmas and New Year's Eve. This provides an annual opportunity for local area college students to make and renew friendships. Annually we present scholarships and awards to high school students and an award to an exceptional faculty member. This year we presented scholarships and awards totaling $6,000 including the $2,000 Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship and six special recognition awards. Additionally, we presented to outstanding young people seven special recognition awards in the names of the Jewels. The chapter also sponsored attendance of several young people at the 1986 Regional Leadership Development Institute and made a $500 dollar contribution to the United Negro College Fund. In March 1987, two outstanding men were initiated into Alpha Phi Alpha. The new Brothers are David Hagans and Isaac Prentice. Our overall accomplishments received fraternal recognition in 1986 when Kappa Phi Lambda was selected as the outstanding alumni chapter in Maryland. Again in 1987, the chapter was named the outstanding alumni chapter in Maryland and we were also the proud recipients of the outstanding alumni chapter award for the Eastern Region, District 6. Kappa Phi Lambda has also been recognized by county government The Sphinx/Winter 1987
officials because of the record of outstanding community service and involvement demonstrated by the brothers.
