The Dream of Homeownership Webinar Upper Marlboro/ Waldorf (MD) Alumni Chapter By: Marcus Smith
On May 1, 2021, The Brothers of the Upper Marlboro/ Waldorf Alumni Chapter hosted their inaugural First time Home Buyer Webinar “The Dream of Homeownership”. The Webinar was a resounding success; there were 40 members of the community that attended the webinar. The webinar covered an array of subjects: how to find financing to purchase a home, how to become and keep your creditworthiness on your journey to homeownership. The webinar host articulated the many challenges to homeownership, but he was able to give the participants a plausible roadmap to a successful closing on a new home. There was positive feedback about the homeownership webinar and community members are looking toward the chapter’s next financial webinar on Estate Planning. The webinar coordinator, Brother Kenyatta Kerr would like to thank the participants and the members of the webinar committee: Brothers Johnny Garnett, Russell Sanders, Carl Cameron, Ken Phillips, and Marcelino Lake.
Community Outreach Fish Fry Annapolis (MD) Alumni Chapter By: Ronald Stokes
On Saturday, July 10, 2021, the Brothers of the Annapolis (MD) Alumni Chapter held their first annual Fish Fry at the Elks Club at 2 Pythian Drive in Edgewater, Maryland. Due to the restrictions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the fish fry was facilitated via a drivethru and pick-up method. To protect all concerned, guests purchased their dinners or sandwiches in advance via Eventbrite, picked them up, and drove home to enjoy their delicious fish. The chapter would like to give kudos to Brother Alan Griffin for orchestrating this event. All proceeds from the event will go to help fund the Community Outreach activities of the Annapolis (MD) Alumni Chapter. We are hoping to hold this event on an in-person basis in the future.
