Describe briefly the Chapters budget; its development, sources of funds; distribution of resources and relationship to goals stated in item #1. The Chapter budget is based on a zero-budget methodology that allows the Board of Directors to lay out the events/ tasks to the membership and how the events/tasks are to be funded. The budget is presented in September as a part of the State of the Chapter, which allows committee chairmen to provide input prior to its presentation. A majority of the members present adopts the budget for the year. The board makes adjustments throughout the year, as necessary. The 2010-2011 annual operational budget is developed by 62 dues paying financial brothers with thirteen 50 Year Brothers that are exempted from paying local chapter dues. Targeted fundraisers which produce other sources of income, such as the Klean But FunQy Soire, Wine Tastings, renting out the House allow the chapter to support additional events as outlined in Question 1. The annual budget inures to the three Goals of the Chapter: (1) Strengthening Membership Relations. Thirty-five percent of the budget of the Chapter is designated for this goal. (2) Strategically Investing in the Jacksonville Community. In partnership with the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Guide Right Scholarship and Development Foundation, Inc., the Chapter is able to host an annual Charity Golf tournament, wherein scholarships to academically talented high school students are awarded to assist them with paying for college. With the Chapter and Foundation contributing 30% each to this goal, we are able to double our support for community
programming. (3) Supporting our Youth through our Guide Right/Kappa League Programs. Here, the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Guide Right Scholarship and Development Foundation, Inc., takes the lead in funding our Kappa League program that is70% of its budget funds the Kappa League program--while the remaining 35% of the chapter budget is allocated to Guide Right programming. A copy of the fiscal years budget is provided in the additional documentation. 3. Describe the Chapters Guide Right Program. The Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Guide Right Leadership Development League program consists of young males within the Jacksonville metro area schools including Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties. Meetings are held at the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Fraternity House every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month during the fall and every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month in the spring. Kappa League members conduct the meetings themselves using Roberts Rules of Order complete with minutes and other reports. The Kappa League members attend church services every 2nd Sunday of the month and are also required to turn in report cards for each grading period. Under the direction and leadership of Chairman Dennis Gamble and his advisory team, the Kappa League program has taken measures to expand its reach within the Jacksonville community by extending the program to include young men in 6th-8th grades in addition to those who participate in the 9th-12th grades. Through this initiative, membership has increased from 10 to 25 members. A Kappa League Round-Up recruiting session is held each Fall and Spring for students interested in joining the Guide Right program at Florida Coastal School of Law. Students and parents are provided an application packet and information is presented about the program. Current and former Kappa League members and parents give a testimonial of their experience with the program. The applications are reviewed by the Guide Right committee; the student is contacted for an interview; and is granted admittance into the program if all criteria are met. The Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Guide Right program has once again partnered with Jack and Jill of America, Inc. and participates in a leadership workshop series entitled How To Lead Your Ship. These workshops include group activities, brainstorming exercises, group presentations for improving and enhancing the students leadership skills, and useful information about opportunities for college and higher education. The following is a list of activities the Kappa League members have been involved in or with: MLK, Jr. Breakfast; MLK, Jr. Parade; escorts in the Miss Delta Teen Pageant; Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Annual Kappa Klassic Charity Golf Tournament; Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Sunday of Hope church service; Adopt-a-Road Cleanup service project; recognized at Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Annual Public Meeting; various community service projects; Jacksonville University basketball games; Jax Sharks arena football games; December to Remember community event; socials; college tours; Delta Sigma Theta Career Day; Kappa League Kar Wash; Kappa League Mothers Day Breakfast; KappaJax cleanup project; Jacksonville Alumni Chapter Guide Right/Kappa League Leadership Retreat; and the Adopt-a-Kappa Leaguer mentor program where an Alumni member is paired with a Kappa Leaguer to serve as their mentor. 4.

GOAL #1 STRENGTHEN MEMBERSHIP Allow me to share a few thoughts about the State of the Chapter. RELATIONS
One year ago, on September 17, 2009, I pointed out that we were the 2009 Medium Chapter of the Year for the Southern Province and declared we would be the 2010 Chapter of the Year Large during the 60th Southern Province Council. In this Centennial year, we can reflect that 10 young men, who lived during a perilous time for Black men/Chose not to be limited by their surroundings/No doubt was lead to Isaiah 55:3 which in the New International Version states: Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with youSurely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you because of the LORD your Godfor he has endowed you with splendor. Lo! Nearly 100 years ago, they submitted the idea of this organization to Christian principles. They are a part of our rituals; indeed they are a part of our daily lives.

Amen? Its Good to be a Kappa. Say it with Me, Its good to be a Kappa!
We can take comfort in the Word when God says in Isaiah 55: 10-11: 10 As the rain and the snow/come down from heaven, /and do not return to it/without watering the earth/and making it bud and flourish,/so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, / SWITCHING TO THE KING JAMES VERSION/11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

A Q & A on SERVICE
by Julius L. Collins
ABOUT MARIO LUNDY
Mario Lundy is a native of Jacksonville, FL and has recently been reassigned to Ft. Benning in Columbus, GA for 1 year. He is a Fall 2008 initiate of the Omicron Delta chapter at Jacksonville University. I sat with him for a quick Q&A session about his military experience and journey in Kappa thus far before his departure.
INTERVIEW
I think the greatest lesson learned is leadership

Staff Sergeant Mario Lundy discusses being a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and his Military Service.
KS: How long have you been in the military and could you describe your current duties & responsibilities? MARIO LUNDY: I have been in the Army for nearly 20 years. My rank is E-6 and I am a Staff Sergeant of Basic Combat Training which basically means I am responsible for the welfare, training, & discipline of initial entry soldiers. I am accountable for physically fit, disciplined, and technically proficient soldiers. KS: What was your reason for joining the military? MARIO LUNDY: I was in the Navy JROTC in high school at Ed White. I just always wanted to be in the military because of my uncle & cousins. They were a big influence. KS: Could you talk about some of the most memorable places that you have been assigned and give your best & worst experience? MARIO LUNDY: My most memorable assignments are Ft. Drum in New York & Ft. Hood in Texas, which is where I spent most of my time training in Air Defense Artillery. The most memorable deployment has been when I was in Iraq. Ive been twice and the second time was the worst. We were constantly out & engaged with the enemy. Our objective was to train the Iraqi army and it was difficult trying to teach them U.S. methods of training. Their system runs from the Top > Down where as the U.S. runs from the Bottom>Up. Id have to say my worst experience was when my interpreter was shot in the head right beside me. KS: What is your proudest experience being in the military? MARIO LUNDY: I would say that my proudest experiences were receiving the U.S. Army Commendation Medal; 3 Army Achievement medals; the National Defense Service Medal; the Combat Action Badge; & the Iraqi Campaign Medal. Just to add, my proudest Iraqi experience was seeing the Iraqi peoples gratitude for simple basic needsespecially the children. Just seeing the expressions on their faces felt great. KS: What is the greatest lesson you have learned from being in the military? MARIO LUNDY: I think the greatest lesson learned is leadershiphaving young soldiers look up to you is a big deal. If you are a good leader, you can have folks that are willing to follow you anywhere. KS: What advice would you give to a young man interested in joining the military? MARIO LUNDY: Go to school firstits better to get an education before getting in the military. If you do opt for a career in the military, you have to go in with the mentality that you will have to be a follower before you can lead. You make it [experience], how you want to make it. Take your training seriouslythat is what helped me. Joining isnt badyou get to travel & experience things. Knowing how to be leader will affect you in some way. I was shy before moving up in the ranks. I was asked to teach and went on from therethey throw you right into it. KS:

KS Polemarchs Remarks
So I knew on September 17, 2009, that implicit in my declaration that we would be Chapter of the Year in 2010, the agenda of the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., had to be in accordance with Gods word. And that, my brothers, is what assures Achievementindividual and collectivethat if our worksif our effortsline up with Gods word, they will not return void. And so it is! <Chapter of the Year Plaque is displayed>Give yourselves a hand. This fraternal year, as we conclude our celebration of 85 Years of Service we embrace this awesome space in time, where we are so fortunate to tap into that unique milestone in Human History to live, to celebrate a Centennial. All across the world, Kappas and their supporters will reflect on what it means for this organization that both individually and collectively have made such an impact on the course of human events: whether it was opening doors to an elitist sport or a racist industry, whether it was occurring nationally or right here in Heming Plaza, Kappas were making a difference in the lives of those around them and those that were coming after them.
to a common goal. But even in our enjoyment, and even though we have collectively labored these 85 years, there is still room. And, we cannot hide our talent under a bushel. You can take the parable in Matthew 25: 14-30, that Jesus shared to mean that each of us are given talents to share with others for the good of all. That we have a Stewardship responsibility to our familyand to our community. That said, we have done so much with so little. We increased our scholarships during a time of recession under Brothers Miller, Cody, Parker, Moore, and Jones. We increased our innovativeness in fundraising with reinvigorating our partnerships under Brothers Armstrong and Mumford. We increased our standing in the fraternity at large under Brother Emanuel. We increased our undergraduate contact under Brothers Malpress and McCauley. We increased our interaction with the Kappa League under Brothers Gamble and Campbell. We have increased our presence in the overall community under Brother Collins.

It is on your shoulders that Kappa continues to stand. It is on your shoulders that America, while it hasnt always been appreciative, continues to prosper. Your collective sacrifices in your individual professions should never be forgotten. And we understand that this is a social fraternity by charter, nothing Black people in America do, can seriously be without a call to service. And so our Grand Polemarch who is finishing his second term, has identified the national theme of Creating Inspiration a Call to Service. And since 1969, under the direction of Past Grand Polemarch C. Rodger Wilson, we have addressed that call through Guide Right as the guiding principle in how we carry ourselves in every sphere of influence, through mentorship, and most particularly through Kappa League. These young men are the lifeline of our continuing to have a seat at the table of decision-making long after President Barack Obama has left office. Under the leadership of Vice Polemarch Gamble, we will step up our emphasis on public service projects and leadership development. We ask that when you see the notice go out requesting that you stop by the next Kappa League meeting and give them the benefit of your wisdom for 10 or 15 minutes, please have a mindset to answer the call. We want to improve the number of contact hours we have with these enterprising young men who aspire to be where you are today with as many of us who are available. Even as we respect and learn from our past and look ahead to our future through the Guide Right program and other mentorship efforts, it is time for us to enjoy the present, to give flowers to our brothers while they are still with us, to occasionally pat ourselves on the back, and enjoy what it means to be professionals who have the ability to dedicate our time and our talent

Members of the Executive Board of Jacksonville Kappa League.
The program emphasizes several aspects of leadership development, teamwork and community trusteeship. JACKSONVILLE Activities range from car washes to church visits, from COMMUNITY road cleanups to business skill workshops, from community presentations to the annual Leadership Development Conference. Through these activities, under the leadership of Guide Right Chairman Dennis Gamble, the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter assists youth in fostering a positive self-image that rest upon sound ethics and values. Over past five years, recent participants of the program have demonstrated excellence in the community and have become role models amongst their peers. Thousands of scholarships dollars have been funneled to their disposal to reach higher heights in their educational field. This trend has continued with youth that are in the program today. They are inspired to become future lawyers, businessmen, culinary artists and law enforcement. Therefore, the Guide Right/Kappa League Program has a consistent track record of producing youth reaching their full potential thats second to none. For the last two years, the Foundation has sponsored participation in a Jack and Jill Foundation grant focused on leadership development. Workshops and events are held throughout the state of Florida culminating in a Chapter wide leadership development weekend at Florida Coastal School of Law.

Going from Good to Great During The Centennial

by Cleveland Ferguson III
With Appropriate Nods to
the 8th Southern Province Polemarch, Brother Ronald E. Range, this Commentary is infused with the Province Polemarchs vision of taking the Southern Province to not a higher level of accountability but to 100% accountability among its Chapters. If Jacksonville Alumni is to honor the recognition of Chapter of the Year - Large for 2010, then we must lead the way in remaining 100% accountable to the Constitution, Statutes, rules and directives set forth.

This is, after all, how The Dreamer intended it, right? The twelve Province Polemarchs spend their time contacting chapter officers, pleading with them to turn in their officers reports so they dont have to report to the respective Province Council that the Chapter is delinquent. After all, the Province Polemarchs have nothing better to do. This is, after all, how The Founders intended it, right? We realize that the Founders knew the importance of chartering the organization in accordance with state and federal law. We understand that the ideal of and love for this Fraternity would not carry KAY through to 100 years alone. It had to be organized. It had to establish a standard, a set of rules, and it had to charge each member not merely with holding an ideal in ones mind, but high ideals, for they knew that in order to achieve both in college and subsequent life, a place of usefulness and honor in the world, we had to be professionals. We know that the Southern Province Polemarch does not provide individual warnings to chapters time and time again about their delinquency. the constitution and statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi and any directives from the Grand Board of Directors. During the Southern Province Council, when the Southern Province Polemarch states in the State of the Province that he wants us to go from Good to Great, he points out the elements of the Province that inhibit the Province from achieving this goal: delinquent officer reports, failure to pay chapter insurance, failure to pay Council or CRWLC registrations, failure of local MOIP Chairmen to meet stated deadlines. There are penalties associated with failing to comply with the rules of Kappa Alpha Psi-namely late fees that contribute to the Province Polemarchs Scholarship Fund,

and worse, Chapter suspensions, etc. The Province Polemarch has reminded us, that these are matters that every member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., are charged with being aware of. And, if not, several opportunities to learn are provided: the Polemarch and Advisors Retreat, CRWLC, Province Council, the Executive Directors Bulletin, the Confidential Bulletinno member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., has an excuse not to know what is required of him or his chapter! Brothers are getting caught for not having paid their housing assessment as they are attempting to register for the 80th Grand Chapter Meeting. Whether a brother has ignored his responsibility or is just now coming back to the Bond in time for the Centennialwhatever the caseKappa Alpha Psi is requiring that brothers honor the commitment made at the Sacred Delphic Shrine. This ensures that IHQ and the elected leadership is in the best position to manage risk, attract contributions from corporate partners, and edify the conversation by being socially and politically relevant, such that when we perform community service, or happen to be spotted with our letters, our gaze is met with a recognition of respectfor our achievements arent superficialthey are consistent. We cannot wag our fingers about what the community needs to do or how politicians need to deliver and our commitment to our chapter is superficialwe are not financial, we create risks for the province, The Grand Chapter will be hurt by local chapter members merely settling for good. Whats more, settling for less-than-great in all that we do may put the local chapter and the brothers who lead the organization at risk. Brotherhood within oneself should demand it. Fidelity requires it. The law will enforce it. We train for leadership and we strive to achieve in every field of human endeavor. I pray that all brothers Come Home to Kappa, and, in the Southern Province, we help the 8th Southern Province Polemarch take us from Good to Great by being timely, financial, and compliant with the Constitution and Statutes of Kappa Alpha Psi. Kappa is blessed by the doers, not merely the hearers (or the repeaters of the words).
We understand that the ideal of and love for this fraternity would not carry kaY through 100 years alone. it had to be organized.

Surely we understand that the Fraternityan organization that we profess to love so muchmarries the ideal of being a member with the practicality of following the Constitution and Statutesmaking sure brothers are affiliated and financial with local chapters, making sure the officers of local chapters are in compliance with the province, and assisting the Province Polemarch with ensuring the province is in compliance with Grand Board directives.
This will not happen to the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter on my watch. Organizational sustainability requires that we build on the successes of previous administrations, such as how the 8th Southern Province Polemarch built on the successes of the 7th Southern Province Polemarch and continues to strive to take us from Good to Great. This requires brothers to translate their love for the fraternity into practical sense.
happy centennial to our 50 Year Brothers!

guide right - piney woods- PART iii, QUESTION 5
Dear Brother Grand Polemarch, Our National Project Team under the Pepsi Refresh Project has been engaged and focused since January of 2010. In November, we placed 11th. In December, we placed 8th; and in January, we finished in 11th place. At one point, there was a glimmer of hope for December as Pepsi had the top two winners in the $250K category under investigation for activities contrary to the project rules and guidelines. In the final analysis, I was informed just today that we officially failed to win the $250K grant from December after an internal investigation by Pepsi. In spite of this revelation, the Project Team mobilized our beloved Kappa Alpha Psi. We did our level best to follow your directive to offer motivation and excitement! Many of our Brothers were truly motivated and brought a can do attitude to the forefront. We forged new and positive relationships in quarters where we would not normally tread. I am equally proud of our Kappa Kamp Face Book page that had a high of 1,085 registrants! Winning this grant was a steady objective for us. It was emblazoned on our masthead and in our constant cry WIN FOR PINEY WOODS! For this, I am eternally grateful to all who joined in our cause. I am proud of how our Project Team served in a steadfast and coordinated manner. The Project Team, comprised of Brothers from Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, Washington State, Nevada, and California, were highly competent, decidedly determined, and substantial in their technical abilities. The many rapid responses in coordinating our national base of brothers, family members, and corporate friends, was not only unprecedented, but impressive in my view. The early and most recent hurdles that we faced did not deter the Project Teams focus or zeal in maintaining Kappa integrity. As we challenged each others strategy, we constantly exhibited the altruism that we were founded on. The upbeat character and commitment to the cause clearly indicated to me that these Brothers were indeed legacies of the 10 - Kappa Men! As I have mentioned many times, I offer kudos to you for your seemingly tireless effort in energizing not only our beloved Bond, but other organizations. Although I was concerned with your overexposure, you were relentless and focused. In spite of your busy schedule, you took the time to offer solid suggestions when needed and listened when we needed a shoulder. Brother Grand Polemarch, on behalf of the team, THANK YOU! We will never forget our experience with you. The 31st Administration, inclusive of the Kappa Foundation and its Board of Directors, the Grand Board, the Province Polemarchs, the IHQ staff, in particular Brother Andre Early, all made their marks all positive and up tempo marks! We commend you all! I also would like to cite the hard work of our Undergraduate Brothers, led by KJ Smith our Junior Grand Vice-Polemarch, and Derrick Christian our Undergraduate Member on the Grand Board and Assistant Editor of The Kappa Journal. These two brothers brought to bear their leadership skills and exuded charisma by mobilizing a nation of Undergraduate and Alumni Kappa Men. I am compelled to acknowledge the Delta Delta (SWP), on the campus of Jackson State University (JSU), and Mississippis Premier Chapter, the Jackson Alumni Chapter (SWP) for their stellar efforts. The Delta Delta, led by Polemarch Bryan R. Fisher, was responsible for producing and directing the national NPHC video that depicted the presidents of each of the Divine Nine on the campus of JSU expressing their support for our Kappa Kamp. This video mobilized each of the national organizations to our cause and was ultimately launched on the NPHC national headquarters website and posted on many Face Book and organizational web site pages. The video depicted Greek Unity at its best for a great cause our cause. It also depicted the quality of the Divine Nine on the campus of JSU as each president of each organization was interviewed and offered a statement in support of Kappa Kamp. This was an unprecedented effort steered by our Brothers of the Delta Delta! I have found that the Jackson Alumni Chapter (JAC) operates at an above optimum level. Under the leadership of Polemarch Demond L. Spann, the chapter maintains an outstanding working relationship with the Delta Delta and within the Jackson community. Brother Marc A. Colomb serves as the Keeper of Records and Delta Deltas Chapter Advisor. We appreciate their leadership and solid relationship with the Delta Delta. I am proud to say that this is a model relationship one for all of us to emulate! Brother James A. Reed, the immediate Past Polemarch of the JAC served as the Pepsi Refresh Project Mississippi State Coordinator. Through Brother Reeds guidance, the project had solid footing and direction in the Magnolia State. We Jacksonville Alumni Chapter of the Year Application 119

sincerely appreciated the Mississippi contingents involvement in this project! A listing of our Project Team members and the associate groups are attached for your records. A special commendation is directed to our membership, their families, our friends, and corporate partners. Without them, we would not have placed the way we did. They kept us relevant in this campaign. A personal THANK YOU to all who participated and tried to make a difference in this campaign. As you know, I have been involved with the Pepsi Refresh Project since January of 2010. I have put on hold a number of other projects and informed others that I could not, at least at that time, participate in any other activities. For those who know me, once I am engaged with a project, I am totally committed. Well, after 12 months, I have decided to disengage from the project as National Project Director of the Pepsi Refresh Project. As I have been tapped to serve on Governor Jerry Browns transition team, I will no longer be able to devote the kind of time and effort necessary to coordinate the national campaign. Although I leave this project with a heavy heart knowing that under my stewardship as National Project Director, we failed to meet our goal of securing funds for the Piney Woods School, I am confident that the functional working infrastructure that we created for this project can endure if our leadership so chooses to allow it to continue. Now, because of their intimate knowledge of this project and its strategies, I recommend that Brother Elbert Brooks, Brother Cleveland Ferguson, and Brother Josephfer Williams be appointed in the interim as Tri-Project Directors. I will be debriefing these three Brothers within the next two weeks. An after action report is forthcoming that will identify the positive assets as well as our operational gaps. This report will be made available to our Project Team and to you, Brother Croom and Brother Brooks. Finally, as I reflect on the everlasting words of the 5th Grand Polemarch, Kappa Alpha Psi was founded so that we could basis of our founding, to educate ourselves so that we can lift a people, I leave this project with high hopes for our fraternal future. None of us can afford to sit on our accomplishments. Our Bond is strong as it has endured the test of time! I have embraced 2011 with a positive outlook with the belief that our God will continue to inspire and bless our Kappa Alpha Psi. Your Brother, Ivann
