This will be a chance to talk to our kids about going to college. We want to give them a "Road Map" to success so they know what they need to do each step of the way to make it to college. Wear your School colors, college shirt or hat and come share with our kids! Your personal stories can help provide the motivation that many of these kids need. Seeing you and listening to your story makes the possibility of college real to the kids. Come join us and share your story with hopes that some of our kids will follow in your foot steps!
We will have information for you and the kids on the date of the event.

Alumni success profiles
We are creating a marketing document to help promote the activities of the Alumni Association to solicit funds, and we would like to focus on examples of some of our best and brightest local alumni and students. We would like to include a brief statement, picture (action picture or in work clothes), and brief title, job description, etc of distinguished Morehouse Men. We would like the opportunity to include your likeness and statement about the mission of the alumni association, the college or the need to send students to Morehouse.
The following list is what we have compiled:

I have no guarantee that all of these people will be available, or that all will have quotes and pictures that will be used, but we ask that you do make yourself available for the process. I am also interested in any other people who might be great examples of Morehouse men in the LA Area. We are looking for our shining lights, and to show that Morehouse Produces great men who give back to their community and reach for excellence. We are showcasing young graduates and seasoned contributors for this campaign. I hope you can help.

Dr. Robert Franklin visit
Gentlemen,
On Sept 24, the newly appointed president of Morehouse College was in Los Angeles to film a segment for the upcoming UNCF Evening of Stars Program. He took this opportunity to meet with Board of Trustee Members the West. He also asked Henry Goodgame to invite a small contingent from GLAMAA to join him for breakfast, so that he could introduce himself to us, and get a feel for the alumni association. We were asked to invite a limited number of guests for intimate, semi-formal affair at the Marmalade Café in El Segundo. I made a list of some of the most active and supportive members of our local alumni chapter, and cleared it with school. They added names they wanted included as well. The result was an even collection of 25 distinguished men from classes from 1950 to 2005 The school was very pleased. In addition, Mr. G. Bernard Brown made a large donation to the school and presented it during the introductions. From every indication, we made a great impact on the new President, and his attendants. In the future, there is every indication that his trips to the LA area will include the same sort of breakfast meeting with the Men of the Greater Los Angeles Alumni Association. Through your participation and support, we hope that you will be chosen to join us next time.
