MAA made a $1,000 donation to the Boy Scout of America Troop 1803.  The troop is a primarily African-American Scout Troop based in Orange County, California. There are currently 11 young men serving as Scouts and are between 11 and 18 years of age. Scouting reinforces their duty to God, duty to country and duty to themselves. They are very active in the community doing such activities as helping the disabled with yard maintenance, handing out food baskets during Thanksgiving and a host of other activities.

The money allowed the Scouts to experience outdoor adventures that included:

Camping

White Water Rafting

Mud Run Obstacle completion

Archery

Horseback riding

Sporting Events

MAA $1,000 to WISEPlace in the name of Kathie Bowman to help create room at WISE Place that will honor her for her 22 years of service at the women’s shelter.

WISEPlace, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a community of housing and hope for women in crisis. Formerly the South Orange County YWCA, WISEPlace has a 90-year history of caring for the community. By meeting basic needs such as housing, clothing, physical and emotional nourishment, as well as vocational and life skills training, the WISEPlace Hotel for Women is one of the few places unaccompanied homeless women can go to begin again.

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.
