President's Message - February 2012
Dear DC Chapter Rattlers:
It seems like yesterday that we welcomed the Chinese year of the Dragon and already it is February. The coming months are filled with excitement as we complete an agenda of events that promises to be fun and fulfilling. We have planned recruiting visits to school fairs to recruit students for FAMU; holding our spring dance to raise money for student scholarships; attending the FAMU National Alumni Association Convention in Charlotte NC; participating in our DC Chapter golf tournament; attending our annual picnic; hosting our annual student sendoff for students going to FAMU; attending basketball and football games in our area to cheer for our Rattlers; and ending with our Christmas party in December.
Help Wanted
The Washington DC Chapter of the Florida A&M University National Alumni Association (DC FAMU NAA) needs your help. We are a volunteer organization that operates primarily from donations of people's money and time. Currently, the DC FAMU NAA is a bit short of volunteer personnel to do many of the basic tasks we do for our membership and for the University.
