The Links, Incorporated focuses primarily on four strategic areas of interest ("facets"):

• National Trends and Services: Currently, The Links sponsor Linkages to Life: Organ Tissue and Bone Marrow Donation Awareness Program, which promotes the organ donations. Due to a deficit of available organs, and many people needing transplants, this issue proves vital to national health care initiatives.

• International Trends and Services: The Links are active in African and Caribbean affairs. For example, in "Education Across the Miles," the Links donated more than $300,000 in order to build schools in South Africa and Nigeria.^[9] On October 21, 2005, the Links were honored at the United Nations 60th Anniversary Gala in New York City. ^[9]

History

The Philadelphia Club

The History of the Links, Incorporated by Alpha Kappa Alpha's fourteenth President, Marjorie H. Parker. Second Edition.

In 1946, two homemakers, Sarah Strickland-Scott and Margaret Rosell Hawkins had a vision to found a club for colored women which would aim to enrich the community through education and the arts.^[11] As a result, on November 9, 1946, Scott and Hawkins formed the Philadelphia Club. Year 1946 (MCMXLVI) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ... A stereotypical housewife A homemaker is a person whose prime occupation is to care for their family and home. ...

During its early years, meetings were held in members' homes. If a meeting was held in a member's home, she would have to serve as hostess. The Philadelphia Club was limited to fourteen members, and if a member missed a meeting, her membership would be revoked.^[12] Meetings were held monthly, and dues were fifty cents per month (2005 value of $5.00 ^[13], according to the Consumer Price Index). Most of the Link members were also members of Jack-and-Jill, an organization for African-American mothers with young children, (now known as Jack-and Jill of America) and sought to expand the Links organization to other cities. Potential members were invited by members of the original Philadelphia Club through relatives, acquaintances, or via membership through other organizations such as the National Medical Association, the American Dental Association, the Urban League, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Hostess is a brand of the Interstate Bakeries Corporation in the United States, known for its sugary snacks Twinkies, CupCakes, Chocodiles, Ding Dongs, HoHos, SuzieQs, Sno Balls, Donettes, Mini Muffins, Hostess Fruit Pies, Pudding Pies, Zingers, and Leopards. ... 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
