Alpha Lambda Lambda 15th Anniversary Gala
Voice of the Second District
Frederick, Maryland. November 14, 2015.. The Brothers of
the Alpha Lambda Lambda (ALL) Chapter, along with 250 patrons,

15th Anniversary with a Gala in recognition of the tireless works

The celebration was also attended by special guests Brother Curtis Baylor,
Former Grand KRS, Brother Milton Harrison, 2nd District Representative

of support to honor the chapter’s contributions to the Fraternity and the
Frederick community is a shining example of the True Omega spirit.
