Founders of Black History Month
We need your help to
reconnect with
past members!
Do you know where they
are?
In the past, there were ASALH
Branches in the
following States and Cities within
these states:
Arkansas (Marianna); Ohio
(Shaker Heights, Columbus,
Wilberforce, Toledo);
Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah);
New Jersey (Sickleville, East
Orange (2), Mt. Laurel);
Missouri (St. Louis); South
Carolina
(Orangeburg);
Tennessee (Chattanooga);
Wisconsin (Milwaukee);
Delaware (Newark);
Connecticut (Hartford); and
Kentucky (Louisville).

These branches no longer exist
and we would like to revitalize
them.  If you live in these areas
or know someone who does and
may be interested in forming a
branch, please contact the
ASALH Executive Director, Sylvia
Y. Cyrus at
rlake@asalh.net.  
We are working to form new
branches,  revitalize inactive
branches, or reconnect with
members who we have lost
contact over the years.  Thanks
for your help with this matter.
Washington, DC
Membership Campaign!

Dear Members:

In support of the Carter G. Woodson Home and in
honor of our great founder, Dr. Carter G. Woodson,
and the 2009 Theme we continue a major membership
campaign to increase membership in Washington, DC
by end of 2009.  Membership drive ideas follow:

(1)  Purchase a membership for your friends and family
members as a gift during the Holiday Season.

(2) Encourage your place of worship to join ASALH as
an institutional member.

(3)  Encourage all your friends, family, associates, and
colleagues who live in Washington, DC to join ASALH
by December 2009.

(4)  Encourage anyone you know who is part of the
Omega Fraternity, Dr. Woodson's fraternity brothers,
to join ASALH and encourage their chapter to join as
an institutional member.

Growth of ASALH membership in the District of
Columbia will substantially influence the appropriations
of funds to restore the Woodson Home as our
leadership engages Congress to gain their support for
the Woodson Home.

Please join us in this major campaign to increase the
ASALH membership in the District of Columbia
significantly by end of year 2009.  Your support is
greatly appreciated.

At the annual convention in 2009, an additional award
will be given to the branch that influenced the most
membership in the District of Columbia.

We appreciate all that you do to help this very serious
matter.
Congratulations to Our Newly
Elected Officers of 2010!
