LETTER FROM AFEE VP SCHOLARSHIPS
KENDRA HALL BANKS
Greetings,
On behalf the Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education in conjunction with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Xi Theta Omega Chapter, it is my pleasure and delight to present the 2024 Coterie of Debutantes at the Winter Emerald and Gold Scholarship Ball. Extensive planning and imagination have been involved in the implementation of this program. The scholarship committee has spent countless hours making sure that development sessions were planned, relative gifts were given, and the final presentation will be absolutely stellar. This debutante program has been filled with personal development and engaging experiences that will expand their possibilities in the areas of personal growth, confidence, leadership, personal relationships, and community service. We strive to make sure that memories are being made, knowledge has been obtained and a heart for community service is cultivated. On behalf of the over 375 members of the Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education, I would like to give special thanks to the Scholarship Committee for your hard work and dedication. Your passion for enhancing the lives of young ladies and providing scholarships shows the success of this program.
To the Debutantes:
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then the person who is observing gets to decide what is beautiful. Who’s beautiful? Each of the 2024 Coterie of Debutantes.
As our 2024 debutante season comes to an end, I am already missing you ladies. It is my hope and prayer that I was able to orchestrate a debutante experience that you will remember for the rest of your lives. It is my fondest desire that you focus on the highlights of the past 6 months and treasure every second of it as I will. Life has taught us that nothing is perfect. Humans are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes. You should keep that in mind while striving for excellence. There will always be unexpected challenges and disappointments. Accept them and strategize a plan to find solutions. Most of all, pray. I believe that every obstacle you encounter is a learning opportunity that is meant to prepare you for the next stage of your life. Recognize it and keep moving forward.
