Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority, Kappa Mu chapter of UMaine at Presque Isle will be holding a Breast Cancer Benefit Dinner & Silent Auction on Saturday, November 8th at the University of Maine at Presque Isle campus. The dinner and auction will start at 6pm, in the MPR of the Campus Center and all benefits will be donated to a local woman who has been affected by breast cancer.
Three Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Sisters of Kappa Mu Chapter at UMaine Presque Isle, joined forces with employees at Wal-Mart and were able to fund raise over $1,400 for a Walmart worker who had been battling breast cancer. Jenni Lyn LaChance, Ashley Gallup and Jessica Chase came up with a plan to raise money to help their coworker with her everyday expenses.
On Friday, Presque Isle Wal-Mart employees were given the chance to wear pink shirts and jeans instead of their typical blue shirts and khakis. Those who wore the Pink shirts donate a small amount in order to wear the pink shirts, with all the proceeds going to the coworker with cancer. Mrs. LaChance was able to visit the ill coworker and donate the funds that was raised in her name. She was so overjoyed by the efforts the Kappa Mu Chapter sisters and the Wal-Mart employees put in the endeavor and she was visibly emotional. Mrs. LaChance says “I want everyone to know that even the things we take for granted can make the big differences for others.”

In memory of Kappa Delta Phi Brother Jon Lowery
Kappa Delta Phi Brother Jon Lowery, pledged 1988 at Mu chapter at UMaine Presque Isle, was Killed in Action in Iraq.
He took the lessons he learned as brother, service to God, Country and his fellow man and applied them as service in the Army.
Brother Scott Harriman remembers Brother Lowery’s service.
This was Jon’s sixth tour in Iraq, including Desert Storm. I remember when he came home from Desert Storm he drove up to PI and he and I hit the bar…….we just reminisced and talked about old times. He would not talk about Desert Storm in any great detail. I then took a couple of days off around the 4th of July and went down to his camp on Drews Lake in Houlton and spent 5 days with him while he decompressed from his tour. He was a good man, a good soldier, and a great Brother!
