Mu Alpha Alpha Chapter in conjunction with the Orange County Uplift Foundation (OCUF) hosted a FREE Comedy Night  Saturday, November 2nd at Christ Second Baptist Church in Long Beach.   The admission was free and the event is being put on to raise funds and awareness for OCUF.

This event was our 2nd collaboration with the Orange County Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.  The event was held at the Lincoln Experience Center (LEC) within Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA.

We collected numerous articles of clothing that will be distributed through our community partner:

Brother Theron Smith was the DJ who set the tone with excellent music.  Food was catered by Medocino Farms.  Special thanks to all that supported this event with donations and attendance. Our efforts will be appreciated by Veterans and others in need.

 


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.
