Our 3rd meeting was called to order on the 18th of
April at 7:30 p.m. and at the home of Dr. Maurice
Hale. At the top of the agenda was ticket selling and
distribution. Congratulations to our President Eric
Rice for selling 50 tickets and counting. He has set
the bar and we all must crank it up.
This was the crux of our meeting Wednesday night. I
am currently in the possession of a 180 tickets to be
sold. Each of the brothers in attendance received 60
tickets. Now we implore you, the illustrious Alumni,
to exhaust all resources and connections to help us
get these tickets in the hands of the community and
sponsors alike.
Our goal for this pancake breakfast is to raise $4000
for our scholarship fund. We believe this is a noble
cause and lends itself to the more altruistic side in
all of us. Let us employ whatever leverage and savoir
faire necessary to bloat our scholarship fund for the
future of our dear ole alma mater.
Please let Eric or myself know how many tickets we can
mail you to sell. The date is closing in and we are
excited at the opportunity for success.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kingslee Purcell.

Support the Pancake Breakfast
Greetings,
The 1st Pancake Breakfast meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. Over dinner prepared by Eric Rice, we addressed the following issues concerning the Breakfast. We set the date for May 5th, 2007. Hours will be from 9 to 12 p.m (8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for staff and volunteers). Next up we decided on the ticket price: $10 adults/ $8 students.
Tickets. We would like to have the tickets available at the next meeting Wednesday, April 4th, 2007 at 7518 S. Denker Street, 90047. Brother Austin and Eric are finalizing the flyer design and we will be contacting Brother Calvin about ticket design and production. The approved design will grace the cover of the e-flyer to be distributed by Alumni and Supporters. ***We would like each Alumni to be responsible for no less than ten tickets for themselves, their family or for donating to local students.
We voted to have a Morehouse table at the breakfast with Alum at the table to speak with prospective students and their families and to distributing Morehouse paraphernalia and pamphlets. We also voted to have two formal introductions during the four hour block. Morehouse men will address the audience and any prospective students at 10:30 and 12 noon, so please be present at one of these times.
We did a rough itemizing. Butter, syrup, apple and orange juice were at the top of the list. Dr. Hale volunteered to be responsible for securing these items. Other items on the list are plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. If you would like to be responsible for these items and be reimbursed, please let Eric or myself know. Next meeting we will a complete itemized list.
We addressed the issue of having the proper amount of staff in the kitchen to flip flapjacks, stir batter and cook sausage. We also need brothers to serve the line. Please let us know where you would like to volunteer.
Eric would like to sell Morehouse Pancake Breakfast Tee Shirts and GLAMAA tee shirts for $15 a pop. The design is pending. Lastly, we are cold calling next meeting via a phone tree by Brother through the alumni list, so expect to be called and expect to be present and participate. The more the merrier and the swifter the job.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kingslee Purcell.

General Body Meeting
Hello Gentlemen
I want to personally thank those of you that have been supportive of the efforts of the Alumni Association already this year. This includes those of you who have helped/participated in the recruiting efforts for the School, the Glee Club Concert and those who supported Alumni Calvin Mackie at the Normandie Christian School College fair. We still have a great need for Brothers to support some of our projects. We have a definite need for representatives at college fairs at local high schools. We also have been asked to have members participate in career days at middle schools as well. Please get back to me to volunteer for either opportunities.
We also want to rally around our next two fundraisers. The first is a membership drive. If you have not paid your yearly dues, please do that as soon as possible. The second is our second annual pancake breakfast. Last year we raised almost $3000 (almost) for our scholarship fund. This year, we hope to raise at least $5000 through ticke4ts and donations. Come to the meeting on Friday to reserve your tickets and to get involved.
