THETATHETAOMEGA CELEBRATES
the idea ofstarting a chapter ofAlpha I&pi^S^
time, there were six known sorors in the city. They were Flö^ft&g ^Kitö;:Lois Bolden, Lorrayne Hall, Margaret Crawford, Jacqueline (Jackie) Hoggar
Barbara Kirkland. Twelve sorors were needed to start the chapter. The search begs
find more sorors. Notices were posted at Nellis Air Force Base. From the base we lo< gfour sorors - Betty Forshee, Dorothy (Dottie) Von-Phul, Jean Penn and Marilyn Bro
| Through inquires within the school district, we found two more sorors - Harriet Robinson £ and Anna Beth Carter. We even had a couple of would be pretenders respond.
After getting the twelve sorors we needed, we were required to form a kind of club. With
gall of the officers and all, we called our group - “Le Debonaires.” We were not suppose to .Jit
include any reference to AKA at that time. It was necessary for us to successfully functionWE Sri as a club with officers, projects, etc... and report to the Regional Director for a year. W^^gg also had to maintain the twelve members.
After the year was completed, we had proven our ability to organize and succeed in accomplishing our goals and plans. We were allowed to change our name to Alpha Kappa Alpha Women and start the process for chartering a chapter. The greatest fear was that one of the sorors from the base would be transferred and all of the past work would be for nothing; With diligence and determination, we pressed forward to complete the requirements as set forth by the Regional Director - who was Soror Leadie Clark.
At the end of the second year, with our number still twelve and all necessary requirements completed and approved, the chapter was charted on May 23,1965 by Soror Leadie Clark. Florence (Pat) White had been the president of the club and was elected to become the first Basileus of Theta Theta Omega. Within a couple of years, we were down to eight members; when sorors from the base were relocated. Our membership was increased with the arrival of Sorors Jennie H. Crawford, Thelma Tyree, Lois T. Ice and the intake of several new /
.a- ’ ,
Since that time the chapter has steadily grown (presently 128) through the arrival of sorors . into the city and through intake of new members. As one of the charter members, I feel greatly rewarded for the struggle and work in the early years to form a local chapter.
S för the other charter members, I know that six are still alive, Florence White lives in alifornia, Lorrayne Hall, Jacqueline Hoggard, Margaret Crawford, Lois Bolden, and
yself, Barbara Kirkland are all in Las Vegas. Betty Forshee, Anna Beth Carter, Marilyn ¿J rqojks are Ivies Beyond the Wall. I do not know where or what happened to Jean Penn,O »rothy Van-Phul and Harriet Robinson. They all left the city many years ago.

 Barbara J. McCants-Bill Basileus Theta Theta Omega Chapter Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Las Vegas, NV I was initiated into Beta Mu Chapter at Wayne State University, which is in Detroit, Michigan, on October 4,1958. As a soror in Beta Mu Chapter, I was
also the Grammateus and Anti-Basileus for the chapter. I remember wonderful times of working together on various areas or service with our chapter members. We had a wonderful graduate advisor who was always there for us. Also, there were three ofus in the chapter who were vocal music majors. Often we three collaborated to prepare musical skits and to work with our other sorors so that the chapter could compete in the Pan-Hellenic Sing-along. We won first and/or second place on several occasions. I became a member of the graduate chapter, Alpha Rho Omega in 1961.1 only remained in that chapter for a year. In 1985,1 became a general member and assisted Alpha Rho Omega at the Boule held in Detroit, Michigan. I again, was active for a few years. In the summer of 19971 relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, was invited to visit the chapter meeting and reactivated with Theta Theta Omega Chapter in 2001. Since reactivation I have served as Anti-Grammateus, Philactor, First Anti-Basileus and presently as Basileus of the chapter. I am proud to be a member ofthis great sisterhood. In our centennial year, 2008,1 will become a golden soror. __________

AKA'S Hold Fabulous Fall Fashionetta Program
Thursday, October 17, 1
(Special Report by Grace Me Glothen)
A thing of beauty is a joy forever — a most appropriate way to describe the very lavished and successful Luncheon-Fashionetta presented by Theta Theta Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at the Hotel Sahara, Congo
Room. We were told by Basileus Margaret A. Crawford, who very capably presided over the well-planned and plush affair, that “the word ‘Fashionetta’ is a trade name patented by Alpha Kappa Alpha for all fashion shows.’’
Immediately following the very tasty and refreshing luncheon of Tomato Juice, Fresh Spring Chicken Salad on Bed of Lettuce, Rolls and Butter, AKA Ice Cream Nut Roll, Coffee or Tea, Basileus Crawford greeted the audience and in her introductory remarks pointed out
AKA’s Seven-point target program whose ob­ jectives are; Scholarship and Travel Grants, Negro Heritage, Social Action, Job Corps, Leadership School, Federal Information and Projects, and Career Guidance. She further stated that “this project is within the realm of the Program of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority—
a Sorority dedicated to the high ideals of finer
womanhood.’ ’
The show, divided in four categories, began
Dr. Jack McCauslin accepting Scholarship fund with a kiss for Basileus Margaret Crawford.
Florence White - Classic silver lame shirt dress.
Barbara Kirkland - “Fake of Chinchilla” in Black C cul lamb.
 with a smashing Scene One which not only serv­ ed to introduce all Sorors but to accentuate the positive: the sorority colors of Salmon Pink and Apple Green. Hence, the very fitting theme for Scene One was “A Touch of Pink and Green.’’ , t
‘*Black Beauty’’ couldn t have been any lovelier as Sorors Barbara Kirkland, Anti- Basileus; Lois Bolden, Grammateus; Jennie H. Crawford, Epistoleus; Jacqueline Hoggard,
Tamiouchos; and Sorors Inez Dean, Lorrayne Hall, Carolyn Harris, Thelma Tyree, and Flor­ ence White made their triumphant debut in
modeling looking so relaxed, resplendent, well- composed, exquisite and beautiful, wearing dresses from Miss Bobbie’s and Ronzone s of
Las Vegas. , , , After making a quick change, lovely
“Jackie” Hoggard stole the show in Scene Two “Wonderful World of Fashions” as she wore a stunning “hot pink” velvet two-piece jacket and dress. Top of the dress was light pink. The jacket was centered with a gorgeous American Beauty Rose giving “Jackie” that truly radiant
all-American look—thé same look which won for Syble Shephard the title “Model of the
Jacqueline Hqggard - Hot pink velvet two piece.
Carolyn Harris - Grey Nehru Dress.

In The Early Fall

 MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS
• The occasion that I planned, organized and helped manage a class to teach second year high school students the skills necessary to succeed in the labor market (how to look for a job and how to keep it).
• I thought it was a very wonderful experience to work at the chapter literacy center. There were so many people who were helped by those who donated their time to teach. The smiles on those faces said it all when they learned to read!

March 18, 2003

 Dear Sorors: 3/23/03
If you did not attend our March 18, 2003 "AKA Day at the Capitol" you missed a treat! Sorors Billie and Verlia are to be commended for their preparation of an evening and day filled with information that helped us to become sorors and citizens who are knowledgeable about how our state's legislature is operated.
Twenty-five sorors, including our Far Western Regional Director, Soror Diana Shipley, joined Theta Theta Omega and chapters from Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento came to attend our briefing session Monday evening, March 17, 2003, in which bills were reviewed and information was given and discussed about the day to come. A notebook filled with information about the Nevada Legislature was distributed.
Early Tuesday morning the group traveled to Carson City where Mr. Steve Watson, Assistant Director of Operations at the Capitol, greeted us. Mr. Watson took us to a Ways and Means Committee meeting and then briefed us on what our day would look like. He also gave us information as to how to get our resolution introduced. He was extremely helpful during the entire day.
Twenty-five beautiful, African-American sorors made an impact on the Nevada Assembly as we walked into various committee sessions, assemblyman offices and sat in the Assembly's session, which was conducted by Assemblyman Wendell Williams, Speaker Pro Tempore. At this session Mr. Williams introduced the sorors to the assembly. Sorors Diana, Billie, Verlia and Lavonne were invited to sit on the floor with the Assembly Members Williams and Atkinson. Assembly
Member Atkinson recognized Soror Verlia for her thirty years of service to Clark County.
Our Day at the Capitol ended with lunch at a local restaurant where Senator Joe Neal and Assembly Members Wendell Williams and Morse Arberry, Jr. joined us. We were able to ask them questions and also discuss our resolution regarding the formation of an office for minority health in Las Vegas.
AGAIN, THANK YOU's to Soror Billie, Soror Verlia and also Soror Lavonne (she prepared our resolution) for a successful day at the capital.
Sisterly,
Barbara McCants-Hill
Sorors Shipley andRayfordwere invitedto sit on the assemblyfloor during the morning s session.

    Dorothy M. Johnson
Mrs. Dorothy M. Johnson, a retired registered professional nurse, moved to Las Vegas l/i 1999 after working in upstate New York as a Nurse Clinician, Industrial Nurse, Part-time School Nurse Teacher and Prison Nurse. She moved around the state with her electrical engineering husband; who worked for the General Electric Company after graduating from Penssaiaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.
When she moved to Las Vegas in 1990, she thought she would spend the bulk of her retirement with a good book, basking in the warm sunshine, near the pool. Instead, she has been giving her creative and intellectual best to the community championing the cause of better health and the prevention of cancer among African-Americans.
She founded the Las Vegas Coalition, Inc., National Slack Leadership Initiative on Cancer after becoming aware of the plight of Las Vegas black community in their fight for survival in dealing with cancer. This was done as an outgrowth of the health activities of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Theta Theta Omega Chapter. She has served as Health Committee Chairman, under five administrations and is the Chairman of the Las Vegas Coalition, Inc., which is a 5O1-C-5 profit organization.
In May 1997, she organized and implemented Nevada's first African-American Wellness Conference held at the newly opened Orleans Hotel and Casino. Co-sponsors of this event includes the Nevada State Health Division, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen Dreast Cancer Foundation, and the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension at Las Vegas.
She has since maintained a consistent schedule of participating in health fairs, coordinating breast self-examination programs, assisting with health awareness
seminars and cancer survivorship programs, and planning nutrition and diet seminars. In 2002, she established the Witness Project of Las Vegas which teaches breast self- examination (DOE) and address cervical cancer, pap smears and encourages yearly mammogram screening. To-date, the group has touched approximately 1&7 women through partnerships with local churches and civic organizations. Each member of the group must be certified by attending an eight-hour training session. The Witness Project is a National Program out of the University of Arkansas Cancer Center, Little
Pock.

 NBLC
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Las Vegas Nation Black Leadership Initiative Coalition, Inc. of Las Vegas was established as the Witness Project of Las Vegas in the summer of 2002 with Mattye Willis and
Charlie Stayton officiating.
This project is designed to increase the number of women who practice regular cancer screening through breast self examination, mammography and clinical breast examination.
It is an effort to reduce mortality and morbidity rates of breast cancer that is prevalent in the African American Community and it is a culturally, competent, community based breast and cervical education program which stresses the importance of screening and early detection that saves lives.
It addresses the fears and beliefs held by some women regards to cancer and it empowers women to take responsibility for their health needs.

ADAMS FEATURED ON THE COVER OF EDUCATIONINHAND MAGAZINE
Soror Kaweeda Adams, former principal of Bob Miller Middle School in Clark County, Nev., has been instrumental in leading the handheld revolution in the country’s sixth largest school district. When a teacher introduced the idea of
using handhelds (Palm Pilots) in the classrooms instead of computers, Soror Adams was concerned about the educational value of such an innovative idea. However, after participating in many training and demonstration sessions and doing her own research, she was convinced.
Handhelds are being used at Bob Miller Middle School in every classroom and in every discipline. Soror Adams and her technology teacher recently made the cover of the November 2003 issue of Education In Hand magazine,
which is a national periodical. Not only was the idea for using handhelds in the classroom educationally sound, it was economically sound. For the money the school was spending on a single classroom computer complete with software, the principal could provide 10 kids
with Palm computers. Soror Adams has also used her knowledge of technology to enhance Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority presentations. Soror Adams presently serves as the Director of Human Resources for Secondary Licensed Personnel in the Clark County School District. The district
includes Las Vegas and is the second largest employer in the state of Nevada behind the casinos.

three pounds. The mustard seed is miniscule in weight. The mustard seed, however, can gipw up to be a large life­ producing plant. The brain power that you have should be able to be an incredible resource, remembering that the brain stops growing around the age of 15, but the learning capacity continues to grow.”
Pearson challenged stu­ dents to allow their brains to be raised to the next level, not accepting the minimal stan­ dards.

The old adage that “poli­ tics makes for strange bed­ fellows” is getting a little stranger in local politics.
State Sen. Joe Neal, who reachedneargodlikestatus for his oratory skills during nearly 32 years in the state legislature, confirmed old reportsrecentlythathewould
not seek re-election. Neal is reportedly thinking about running for the Clark County

Howard, another Democrat who has held a seat on the University and Community College System of Nevada’s BoardofRegentssince2001,
said she is running for the District 4 Senate seat Neal is abdicating. Neal has said he is likely to endorse Howard, his mentee whom he helped
win a regent seat.

With ceremony, dirt was tossed from shovels dressed with red rib­ bons tied on the handles. The offi­ cial ground breaking for the Rain­
bow Dreams Academy was held last week on West Lake Mead Bou- levard, across from the West Las Vegas Library.
The ground breaking was an emotional event. Now just an empty lot, the air ofpromise was very real because children?s lives will soon be shaped at the academy site in the
city’s predominantly Black Historic WestSideneighborhood.
Some presenters struggled to keep their composure as they ex­ pressed from the podium what this
project means for them, children’s futures, and what its founders Dr. Anthony L. Pollard and Diane Hughes Pollard have done for the
community.
Rainbow Dreams Academy is a
planned charter school that special­ izes in full-day kindergarten through second grade. The curricu-
will focus on developing

children’s reading, writing and technical skills. It will be a 12,000- square-feet facility designed to hold 350 students.
Pollard and his wife have made
tremendous contributions to fami­ lies and youth for years. In addition
to operating several Rainbow Medi­ cal Center sites, they created the Anthony L. Pollard Foundation about 14 years ago and have been aiding at-risk and underprivileged
students ever since.
The Pollards offer a wide range
of support arid resources through
the foundation, including scholar- ships and refurbished computers, for students who would otherwise go without. Now, in the newest
challenge, the couple has decided to tackle the task of opening a char­
ter school-to service the youngest children considered at-risk for
learning problems.
“We believe problems start in
the pre-development stages,” Dr. Pollard said. “The only way kids
can succeed is through the educa­ tional process. That’s the only way they can better themselves,” he con-
tinued.
It s called [Rainbow Dreams
Academy] because we want all chil­ dren of color to be welcomed that
are at risk,” he explained. Pollard said he believes the academy can identify and “reprogram” early learning problems in young stu­
dents so they are better equipped when they enter society.
