GWEN NEWSOM LETTER FROM THE AFEE SCHOLARSHIP CO-CHAIR The Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education has provided phenomenal educational scholarships and community service opportunities in Arlington, TX and surrounding areas since 2004. It is a pleasure to represent the members of the Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education in partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Xi Theta Omega Chapter in welcoming you to the 2024 Winter Emerald and Gold Scholarship Ball and Debutante Presentation. It is with extreme pride and great anticipation that we honor twenty three beautiful, young ladies tonight, who have worked hard during the past six months in preparing for this evening. Many of you have encouraged, inspired, and equipped these young ladies to not only succeed during this process but to also succeed in their future endeavors so for that, we honor you as well. The Debutante Scholarship Program provides educational opportunities that are life changing for these young ladies. Through the activities, our debutants will be able to successfully transition into adulthood. The ladies have engaged in a process that fosters personal and professional development while providing new friends and mentors that hopefully lead to the formation of lifelong relationships. This evening would not be possible without the dedication of the Scholarship Committee, our exceptional VP of Scholarship, Mrs. Kenda Hall Banks, the Dean of Debutantes, Ms. Lisa Thompson, the President of the Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education, Ms. Tameka Jackson, and The President of the Xi Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Dr. Myla Tolbert along with other supportive members of the foundation who have invested countless hours into the presentation for you. We also applaud and thank the parents for their patience, guidance, and support during this journey with their daughters. Finally, we want to recognize and thank our sponsors, guests, supporters and patrons. Your commitment to education is impactful to the Arlington Foundation for Excellence in Education.
Sincerely,
Gwendolyn Newsom 2021-2024 Scholarship Co- Chair
