WELCOME! On behalf of the Prince George's County Chapter of the Bowie State University National Alumni Association, Inc., it is an honor and privilege to welcome you to our 2022 Benefit Affair. As a result of our last three year's ( two, without any fundraising events) we were able to continue giving and providing financial assistance to our youth attending Bowie State University. Today, we appreciate and thank you for your presence. We are energized by your support that propels us to continue our mission to provide opportunities for more deserving Bowie-bound students. Again, thank you for all that you do, so that others may have an opportunity to succeed.

Sample of poetry
Jumping the Broom Formal marriages for slaves was only done by their masters The others were not recognized Marriage was recognized within their community by jumping the broom Some say broom jumping comes from an African tribe ritual of placing sticks on the ground Straw of the broom represents family, the handle represents the Almighty The ribbon represents the tie that binds the bride and groom The custom and the honor of this ritual has been carried from past to future lives At the conclusion of the wedding ceremony, kiss and Introduction of the couple One of the attendees produces the broom to an exceptional person from the gathering The designated person brings the broom and places it in the path of the wedding couple Awaiting their leap together as husband and wife After the leap, the broom sweeper were waved over the new spouses to banish evil spirits Jumping the broom symbolized two things The first was the wife who was entrusted to clean the new residence The second thing was the dedication of who ran the household. Usually the man jumped the highest over the broom and was deemed the decision maker Both bonding together over the ceremony and joy of what the future would bring
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY CHAPTER
There's a spot in my heart that never goes cold There's a place in my memory that never grows old. There's a prayer on my lips that I'll ever be true To God and my country, to Bowie State, my school Chorus Oh, Bowie State, dear Bowie State May you forever be the flame of faith The torch of truth To guide the steps of youth. There's a song in my heart that I'll ever sing Of the beauties of Bowie State that each season brings. There's a pledge in my heart, that I'll ever keep true To uphold the standards of Bowie State, my school. Charlotte Bronte Robinson
