Because of your generous support we were able to assist and support local organizations, several churches, schools, and students in various stages of their academic careers including those matriculating at Technical Colleges, Universities and Medical Schools. We were able to serve Veterans and their families, Essential Workers and families in crisis. Because of you, we were able to provide health screenings, diagnostic medical screenings and purchase emergency medical equipment. Children were given tools to better their futures through career development, entrepreneurship, anger management and health education classes and mentoring. Every year we are able to expand our efforts to extend God’s Love from Him – To Us – To Others. THANK YOU!
Alpha Mu Project BBUILD Partners with Project IMPACT
On Saturday, 27 April,2024, Archons of Alpha Mu Boule’ and Project BBUILD, its award winning mentorship program for middle school boys, had a joint meeting with Project Impact, a similar program for high school boys in Augusta. The event was coordinated by Sire Archon Steven Kendrick who is active with both groups. This session was held at the Boys’ and Girls’ Club at the Hub in central Augusta. The boys were treated to a panel presentation and discussion about male health issues from middle and high school through adulthood.
Presenters were Archons from the healthcare professions including dentists and physicians. Participants were Archons Ronald Brown, Sr, and Ronald Brown, II, gastroenterologists; Archon Clarence Williams, Archon Maurice Lewis, Archon Curtis Pickard-dentists; Archons Benjamin Rucker and W. Joseph Hilson-Internal Medicine Specialists,; Archon Jud Pickett, Family Medicine Specialist, Archon Mac Bowman, Cardiologist and Archon Cargill Alleyne, Neurosurgeon. Each discussed pertinent issues and concerns for these young men from their areas of practice. They also discussed aspirational points which helped to guide them from career choice, their individual journeys and pointers on handling challenges.
After their individual presentations which included presentative dental and oral surgical information, heart health, brain health, psychological health with emphasis on lessening stress, depression and anxiety. The young men received the information well and made important points from their personal perspectives. They asked great questions and received timely expert counsel from the Archons on this august panel. It was erudite, directed and useful.
It was the first such outreach to the young men of these focus groups; it certainly will not be the last.
