Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. THE KPL SPHINX April 2018 5 DEVELOPS LEADERS A letter from Governor Martin O’Malley inviting brothers to Bro. Calvin Ball’s Fundraising Event “In case you missed it, last week I rolled out endorsements for my national leadership PAC, Win Back Your State. Among the eight candidates that received this endorsement was my good friend, Calvin Ball, running for Howard County Executive. On Wednesday, April 18th at Kelsey’s Irish Pub in Ellicott City, I will be hosting an event for Calvin. I wanted to reach out and see if you would be able to join us. Please find the details in the invitation below. To RSVP or purchase a ticket, please click here. You may know Calvin as the youngest Chairperson to be elected to the Howard County Council, an educator, or as a father-- but I know him as a grassroots leader with a real vision for Howard County, and a clear path to victory. But he needs your help to get to there. Howard County has the opportunity this election cycle to… elect someone who truly has Howard County’s best interest at heart. I hope you’ll be able to join me on April 18th to help support Calvin’s campaign and pave the way for the next generation of leaders. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Calvin’s assistant Casey at 410- 547-8884, or [email protected].” Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
