Before the program began, the Bethlehem Baptist Church provided a lavish dinner consisting of a wide verity of sides (Veg. Rice, Collard greens, Toss Salad, Cornbread, etc.), main entrees (Baked/Fried/Jerk Chicken, Fish, and BBQ Ribs), and dessert (ice cream and peach cobbler).
The Psi Alpha Alpha Chapter was honored to have our very own chapter brother Lieutenant General (LTG) Bruce Crawford to be selected to be the guest speaker. LTG Crawford brought forth an enthusiastic, powerful, encouraging, and inspirational message consisting of how we should continue to preserve to reach our goals and believe in yourself while surrounding yourself with positive people. The program was very diverse as the residents of New Hope Housing displayed their unique and wonderful talents ranging from Spoken word, Singing, and creative expression (mime).

Many attendees expressed how much they enjoyed the program and are looking forward to next year’s annual event.
