On Saturday, October 25th, 2008 the members of Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Alumnae Association and Kappa Delta Phi National Alumni Association will come together at the Holiday Inn Express in Saco, Maine for the purpose of holding their respective annual meetings. Within the context of those meetings lie the hearts of sisters and brothers who continue to make a difference in their local and more global communities.
In the past, alumnae sisters have donated canned and dry packaged food items, paper products, personal hygiene items, baby food and formula, diapers, unisex socks, warm gloves and a host of other necessities. These items are donated to the Family Crisis Shelter of Greater Portland and/or the Preble Street Resource Center to help those less fortunate. Other valuable items such as used cell phones with chargers are collected and donated adding a measure of personal safety to those who are victims of domestic violence.
This is the first year that the alumni Brothers of Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity will join the sisterhood in this act of philanthropy. Following last year’s meeting, Brother Mark Tschamler of Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity, Iota Chapter at University of Southern Maine asked if this was something that the Brotherhood could make a contribution to. The answer was a resounding “Yes!” Anyone planning to attend the meetings is encouraged to bring an item or items. This combined effort is evidence that the principles and ideals to which we subscribe don’t end at graduation. They become a part of our daily lives and the lives of those whom we seek to serve. May the spirit never die! For more information and to discuss, visit this thread.
