Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Douglas-Carroll-Paulding Counties Alumnae Chapter, celebrates nine years of extraordinary leadership in public service, by hosting “Delta Week,” seven days of free events to enrich community life for local residents of all ages, starting Sunday, April 19. The public is invited to attend. A detailed list of the upcoming events and sites is outlined below
Nationally recognized, the award-winning DCP sorority chapter’s Delta Week schedule includes an Appreciation Day on Monday, April 20, to recognize the “dedicated efforts” of local public safety and law enforcement employees. The sorority members will kick off the week with a worship service; and other events include a “Books in the Neighborhood” Education Day in all local schools, political and international awareness workshops, a Zumba fitness workout event, and a culminating community carnival and health fair.
“We are excited about Delta Week 2015 and having an opportunity to partner with schools, to pay tribute to local public safety staffs and to reach more families and youth across the three counties we serve,” said Gean Beasley, President of the Douglas-Carroll-Paulding Counties Alumnae Chapter. “Delta Week enables us to draw more attention to our scholarship program and global issues, and it unites hundreds of local residents who are seeking positive experiences that promote social, physical, educational and political enrichment,” she said.
