Most of the National Program target programs has been completed by the chapter. These programs included the MLK Day of Service. Again this year, the program was very successful and well attended. The speaker, Mr. LeRoy Thompson, President and CEO of a local company and former Pittsburg Steeler, was fabulous as was all of the student participants. The Ivy Reading AKAdemy continues at the Scarboro Day Care Center and continues to be successful. Continued success relies on OUR commitment and presence. At the MLK Day of Celebration, the Sorority awarded scholarships to ten local students. The other succesful programs included the Ethnic Food Tasting, Annual Coat and Sweater Day, the Annual Golf Tournament, and kick off of the Debutante Presentation and Ball. Activities remaining include the Volunteer Day activity with the Salvation Army Christmas Tree.
