Description
-
Program booklet produced by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Epsilon Pi Omega Chapter, for a community event held on October 25, 1959, at the St. Albans Ballroom Terrace in St. Albans, New York. The booklet accompanied the chapter’s Community Service Directory and the First International Fashionetta, a fundraising fashion show organized to benefit sickle cell anemia research.
Fashionetta programs were widely used by Alpha Kappa Alpha chapters as community-based fundraising initiatives that combined fashion, scholarship support, and public service. The event documented in this program reflects the sorority’s commitment to civic engagement, health advocacy, and community uplift during the mid-twentieth century.
