Dear Friends,
It is with great happiness that I extend a warm welcome to those gathered today
at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Pasadena & Altadena Chapter’s 29 th Annual
Fashionetta® Scholarship Luncheon and Fashion Show.
Founded in 1908, the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority Pasadena & Altadena Chapter has provided
services to the San Gabriel Valley to improve the economic, social, educational, and health conditions of
the community. The AKA Sorority has hosted various workshops and events to mentor middle and high
school students. In addition, the AKA Sorority has developed programs to alleviate the impact of
homelessness and to improve the quality of life in our community.
Today, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority hosts its 29 th Annual Fashionetta® Scholarship Luncheon and
Fashion Show to honor and present scholarships for San Gabriel Valley high school students that are
attending college.
On behalf of the United States House of Representatives and the people of the 27 th Congressional District,
I offer my congratulations and best wishes for the continued success of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Pasadena & Altadena Chapter.
Sincerely,
JUDY CHU, Ph.D.
