Fundraisers
Since its inception in 1990, the St. Andrew Alumnae Association Washington, DC, Chapter has gained a reputation for hosting quality fundraising events that unite Jamaicans, our Caribbean and American friends in the DC Metro area. We’ve held dinner parties, social mixers, Independence dances, art shows and exhibits, tea parties, fetes, golf tournaments, and yard sales. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to continue to build our brand in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area.

2019 Summer Fundraising Fete " Haul N Pull Up"
This annual event is our major fundraising effort where the Caribbean diaspora and friends come together to renew relationships, make new friends, network and have a great time. For four years this successful SAHS Alumnae event was held in Chevy Chase, MD, under the patronage of the Jamaican Ambassador to the United States. Due to increasing popularity and space constraints the event was held at the Laurel/Beltsville Activity Center, Laurel MD for the past few years. The 2019 event is scheduled for Laurel Park, The Terrace, RT 198 and Racetrack Road, Laurel, MD 20725 on Saturday, July 20, 2019.

Board Meetings
The Association convenes scheduled board meetings 3 times annually. Though they are primarily for the Board to meet we invite all members to attend. The Association schedules special meetings as needed to deal with important and urgent issues. We have the flexibility to arrange Board or special meetings as conference calls or in-person meetings.
