One Night Revival, September 30th, Long Beach, CA: In what has become Mu Alpha Alpha's signature annual event, and largest chapter fundraiser, our 5th annual One Night Revival was held at Christ Second Baptist Church (CSBC) where our very own MAA Chaplain, Brother Welton Pleasant, is Senior Pastor. Brother Pleasant once again led an outstanding One Night Revival highlighted by Brother Dr. John Adolph delivering another outstanding sermon as we lifted the name of The Lord in praise. Several Omega dignitaries were in attendance and delivered words of greetings on behalf of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Those dignitaries included Brother Ricky Lewis, First Vice Grand Basileus; Brother Dennis Martinez, 12th District Representative; Brother Michael Brown, 12th District Chaplain and Brother Raphael Irving, 12th District Chaplain. We were also blessed with outstanding praise filled musical performances by Brother Alvin Hayes, the CSBC choir and the praise dance team

This is the 5th Annual MAA Chapter One Night Revival and is our annual signature event.

Several MAA Brothers led by Brothers Kalonji Saterfield and Chris Walton supported this event with their presences and presented a $1,000 donation to help support programming.

African American comprise a relatively low percentage of students at UCI; the Fall Harvest is an annual, early school year event designed to bring African American students together for them to meet as a group along with AA faculty, staff and community organizations. Several Phi Lambda Chapter Brothers were in attendance and played very prominent roles throughout the evening. Brother Theron Smith is currently a graduate student at UCI and was one the scholarship recipients during the event. As you are aware the Orange County Uplift Foundation (OCUF) has provided mentoring and scholarships for many years to Phi Lambda Brothers, and others, through its signature Career Matching Program (CMP.) It should be noted that UCI Black Alumni and Alpha Phi Alpha awarded several scholarships during the Fall Harvest. MAA and OCUF had a prominent display throughout the event; representatives from African American student organizations along with Black faculty and staff had information tables and provided updates. An excellent meal was catered  by Backyard BBQ.
