terms on the Vienna Town Council, he resigned in 1996 to
successfully campaign for a seat in the Virginia House of
Delegates, becoming the first African American to represent

| 2007 Founders' Day
Celebration |
|
 In
a mid-day luncheon on Saturday, February 24th at the Victoria
Falls Resorts Club in
Laurel, MD, over forty five Chapter members and their guests celebrated LU
Founders Day and kicked off the Chapter's 2007 Annual Giving Fund
Campaign--"A Legacy of Giving." The program included a
delicious buffet,
entertainment by Chapter member Leo Pickett, a display of LU yearbooks and
scrapbooks, and featured LU alumni guest speakers from the various
decades beginning with the 1940s who shared their LU memories. The program
was video taped by a professional videographer for presentation to the
University. DVD copies also will be made available to
Chapter members for purchase. The Chapter picture
for 2007 also was taken at this
event. Donations
of $25 per person were requested to cover
the costs. Chapter
members wishing to make a donation should send their checks to our treasurer, Ernest Harris, 5009
14th Street, NE, Washington, DC
20017, payable to "Lincoln
University Alumni - Washington, DC Chapter." Pictures
from the event are shown below. |
