justice.

Judge Johnnie Rawlinson became the first University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law graduate to sit on a federal appellate bench, when she was appointed to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2000. She is also the first African-American woman to serve on that

court. Judge Rawlinson served as a U.S. District Court Judge, District of Nevada, for only two years before being nominated to the nation's second-highest court by President Bill Clinton. Prior to her judicial service, she, spent 18 years with the Clark County District Attorney s Office, Las Vegas, Nevada. Judge Rawlinson and her

Little Dress Project - Our goal is to make 100 dresses for the cause that we will donate at Boule. If you would like to help with the Little Dress Project but don't know how to sew, you can still help by purchasing cotton or polyester pillow cases and rickrack and bringing it to the April meeting. Target V and the Sisterly Relations committee are sponsoring a sewing party after the chapter meeting at the home of Soror E. Lavonne Lewis. Lunch will be provided.

Target V - Global Impact -

The Global Impact Committee met on February 24th at the home of Soror E. Lavonne Lewis. They discussed the Little Dress Project and ideas for the United Day Celebration. It was proposed that we submit a grant

application to the Nevada Humanities Committee to bring Susan Rice to Las Vegas to discuss the operation of the United Nations.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Africare are partnering with Little Dresses for Africa to create an opportunity for sorors to help young girls in Africa. The pillowcase dress service project allows sorors to work together, independently or even with family members to make little dresses for communities in South Africa and Liberia. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is taking on the challenge to bring 29,000 pillowcase dresses to the 2016 Boule. Following the Boule, the dresses will be shipped directly to pre­

selected communities in Africa. An article and photos of our donations will be featured in an Ivy Leaf following the Boule.

She’s Got Personality

We had so much fun bonding

Sorors perform a sisterly relation game to determine what personality describes them the best. Also to find out who amongst us had the same qualities, strengths and weaknesses.

Sorors breakout into groups to develop a “plan to plan” strategy.
