The members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated will celebrate the 2017 Beautillion on Saturday, December 2, 2017.

This event will be held at 5 p.m. at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College in the A-B Tech/Mission Health Conference Center.

The young men who are participating are our future leaders. These young men, known as beaux, are ages 13 to 18 and are students in the 8th through 12th grades.

The goal of the Beautillion is to help the beaux achieve to their highest potential. They will participate in workshops that will broaden their minds culturally, educationally, and socially. They will be actively involved in meaningful experiences that will enhance positive thinking and actions.

The Beautillion is open to the public. Please talk to any of the Alpha Kappa Alpha members for further information.
