District 2 members win awards at convention

Congratulations to all the fabulous District 2 chapters and members who won awards at convention! Our collegiate chapters were noted for overall chapter excellence, as well as for their philanthropic, recruitment, and scholastic achievements.

Special kudos to Epsilon Kappa Chapter on winning the Four-Star Award. When asked how it felt to receive the Four-Star Award, Chapter President Kim Hicks said, "It's amazing!"

Not to be left out of the commendations, several District 2 alumnae chapters achieved Crown-level status. Two alumnae members were recognized for individual achievement:

• Agape Award: Sarah Bernier Brenneman, ΓΞ
• Recognition of Eminence Award: Dorcas Bates Reilly, NN

For their hard work and fiscal responsibility, each of these chapters will receive one free registration to District Days 2009.

Philan-shop-ic success

Philadelphia Metro Alumnae Chapter's June fundraiser raised $182.13 for the S. June Smith Center. The chapter and friends got new stuff from Pampered Chef, while the kids served by the center get the real benefit.

Dr. S. June Smith was a lifelong member of Kappa Kappa Chapter at Temple University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. Learn more about the center's mission.

Boardwalk fun benefits center

"Under the Boardwalk" was the theme for the S. June Smith Center's spring gala, held April 26, 2008. Helping out with the fundraiser was Epsilon Kappa Chapter at Millersville University. The EK ladies sold game tickets and helped run the boardwalk-style games. The event, which raised over $27,000 for the center, "shore" was fun!
