Iota Lambda Chapter ~ Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Founders' Day 2003

A good representation of Brothers from Iota Lambda and nearby presented themselves for fellowship, remembrance, awards, and the breaking of bread on December 4, 2003. Br. Vice President Mark Webster prepared a modern day repast in the spirit of the first banquet. The setting was "Brothers only", and deliberately informal-but-elegant. Brothers from throughout the chapter contributed their talents to a spirit-filled observance.
