A Message from the Chapter President
1
Greetings to the Brothers, Supporters, and Community members!
I wish this message reaches you well and in great spirit. Although it is later in the year, but allow me to wish you all a Happy New Year 2013. May we each be blessed with joy, happiness, good health and prosperity. May we all be granted the strength to continue to serve our communities. May we continue to strengthen our bonds as brothers and with fellow community members. May we stay focus on everything positive as we continue to build this empire to lead a legacy. May God bless us and keep us all.
To the Brothers of the Lambda Chapter of Kappa Psi Kappa Fraternity Incorporated, I thank you for allowing me to preside over the chapter for another year. Your nominations and votes certify your trust in my leadership ability to carry the chapter forward, and for that, I am immensely grateful. As the New Year 2013 progresses, I envision the Lambda chapter strengthening its relationship with supporters and community members while we continue to volunteer our times, skills and talents. I look forward to developing community partnership to maximize resources to better serve our community members.
To the supporters and community members, the chapter looks to develop an even stronger bond within our community in order to enhance the quality of life. Through our events and activities we look to attract men like ourselves who would commit to community service. In return, we promise to transform them through brotherhood, culture, leadership, service and cooperation. As the chapter president, I plan to facilitate opportunities for professional growth and development for every chapter member and interest alike.
Lastly, I promise to remain open and positive in every administrative decision. I will humble myself to lead with an open door policy so we can address the needs of the chapter and our community. Thank you all for your support and I look forward to serving our community.
Truly, Steven Fleury Lambda Chapter President

LAMBDA CHAPTER MARCH 2013
Welcoming the Newest Lamb Bro. Michael Williams
Brother Michael Williams became a member of the Lambda Chapter on November 17, 2012. His technical background has already been a great
contribution to the chapter. Join me as we learn a little bit about Brother Williams to speak with him.
Brother Williams, what do you hope to bring to the Lambda Chapter? “I hope to bring Technological techniques. I come from a business background and I would like to bring my professionalism. I would also like to bring my unique set of eyes, and bring a new sense of self”. What does the word brotherhood mean to you? “Brotherhood is term that differs between individuals, but it means to me a bond that you can’t break. Its stronger then family. Its family to me; they are here for you from when you cross to when you pass-away. You always have someone pushing you forward and helping you grow”. How are you different since you joined the Lambda Chapter? “I am more confident in things that I can do. I’m also more structured and discipline, and I also feel like I have matured more although I am the youngest member in this chapter. Further more, I feel that I have expectations to hold up to”.

Share a moment that has helped shape you into the man you are today? A moment that helped shape me into the man I am today is by going through all of life’s challenges. Through those challenges, I was able to utilize support from mentors, friends, professors and of course from some of my brothers within the Lambda Chapter. Where would you like to see the Lambda Chapter in the next three years? I would like to see the Lambda Chapter grow in terms of its membership, build better relationships with current supporters & sponsors and develop new relationships with other community members/organizations. I would also like to see the Lambda Chapter become more involved in the community and not only in terms of community service, but also by attending or having events that involve both stake holders and youth. What words would you share with an aspiring member? Brotherhood, Kativating, Love, Commitment, Dedication, Positivity, Creativity and Faith

MARCH 2013 LAMBDA CHAPTER
Building Community Partnerships By Ayana Blue From Fenway Health
To be a great volunteer, you must possess a few characteristics. You must appreciate and like the cause you are supporting, work hard, be attentive to the needs of the organization and have fun (of course)! For the past 4 years the Lambda Chapter has volunteered for two of Fenway Health’s most important events, The
Women’s Dinner Party and The Men’s Event. These gala events assist in raising funds to support the programs and services offered by Fenway Health to the LGBT community and surrounding neighbors. Fenway Health’s development office depends on reliable volunteers like the members of the Lambda
Chapter, in order to provide quality customer service to our 1000 or so guests that attend each event. This group has proven themselves as great volunteers. During what can be a hectic time for the event staff, these
gentlemen are always attentive and ready to support us however we need it. Members have dedicated additional hours beyond the events to join the planning committee of the Men’s Event or support the
development staff in the office in getting organized for the galas.
The gentlemen of the Lambda Chapter have become more than just volunteers. They have become true friends of Fenway Health. It is clear by their enthusiasm to volunteer for Fenway that they care about the organization and support our mission. We have developed a great professional and personal relationship
Interested in Joining Lambda? Do you have the courage to cross those burning baby blue sands? Are you strong enough to cement and hold the Bond of Brotherhood? Are you seeking lifetime ties that transcend race
and creed, that are blind to sexuality, that are not hindered by physical location or differences of opinion? Then maybe, just maybe, you can be one of the chosen few to become a true
Kaptivitating and Konvinced Brother of Kappa Psi Kappa Fraternity, Inc.
If you are interested in joining our prestigious organization and want to find out more information about the requirements for joining and the intake process, please contact
