WELCOME RECEPTION
104th Anniversary/ 90th General Convention The 104th Anniversary/90th General Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha in Las Vegas started off with all the fanfare you can imagine. From the beginning, with the Welcome Reception, to the conclusion, with the Awards Luncheon, the “ice-cold” Alphas illustrated that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. On the following pages, The Sphinx provides a snapshot of the sites and scenes of the 2010 convention in the desert. Photos by Rickey Brown, Jarvis Harris and Jeff Lewis.
