Programs & Activities
In 2009, Zeta Psi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha launched a community effort to have Lawrence Street re-named Pryce Street. This effort was initiated by Brother Andrew Young as he spoke at the centennial celebration of the Pryce Pharmacy. Brother Young was the nephew of Brother Dr. Ulric Pryce.
Zeta Psi Lambda initiated the assistance of 100 Black Men of Lake Charles and the Lake Charles North Kiwanis Club to assist in this community effort. City Council Member Brother Marshall Semien was especially helpful in this effort. The street was officially renamed January 20, 2010.
Recently (March 2010), Zeta Psi Lambda hosted an un-veiling of street markers to honor the re-naming of Lawrence Street to Pryce Street. Brother Frank Y. Pryce and his wife, Delores assisted Mayor Randy Roach in un-veiling markers of the Pryce Street.

Brothers deliver baskets to the homes of the nominees on the Saturday morning prior to Mother’s Day. The mothers are thanked for their efforts and encouraged to continue serving our community through their exemplary parenthood.
