Charleston Alumnae Celebrates 65 Years
I have to summarize this since the paper it is mentioned on does not have a web site...I have to put my journalism degree into use.
The Charleston (SC) Alumnae Chapter celebrated its 65th anniversary Oct. 22 with "An Evening of Jazz" event at the Gaillard Auditorium.
The event featured Grammy-nominated recording artists Straight Ahead from Detroit. There was a formal gala/reception after their performance.
Three charter members of the chapter were recognized at the event: sorors Anna Bonaparte, Mae De Brown and Rev. Ella Pearson Mitchell.
This was the opening event in a month-long celebration of the chapter's founding. The chapter, which was chartered in November 1940, currently has 186 members.
ETA: added "in" and took comma out on last sentence, respelled alumnae, changed other paragraphs.
