Greetings,
I
am delighted to welcome members and friends to the website of The
Crown Jewels Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. Our site was designed
with you in mind. We hope to give you an overview of our chapter's
mission, history and service in our community. Founded in 1946, The
Links, Inc. is an international organization of over 12,000 civic-minded
women who are committed to friendship and service. The Crown Jewels
Chapter is a local chapter of friends linked to change lives and serve
others in our community. Our members live in Mecklenburg County in
the metro Charlotte area of North Carolina.
In
partnership with the Afro American Cultural Center, an African American
museum of culture, art and heritage, the Crown Jewels Arts Facet
refurbished and decorated a circa 1940's "Shotgun" house.
The house is now a living historical museum in which visitors enjoy
with a guided tour. Chapter members donated and loaned many of the
antique furnishings now in the house.
The
Crown Jewels initiated a signature fundraising event, "The
Crown Jewels Mardi Gras" which is held each year during
Mardi Gras season. In addition, Crown Jewels co-sponsored the Southern
Area HBCU Scholarship Initiative featuring international singing
legend Nancy Wilson. The Crown Jewels continue to make donations
to many Charlotte area charities including the YMCA, Afro American
Cultural Center, Regional Aids Interfaith Network and the NAACP
Legal Defense Fund.
It
is our pleasure to share with you who we are and what we do to serve
members of our community. Thank you for your interest.
With
Sisterly Affection,
Joy
Paige,
Chapter President
