Times are tough these days, and everyone is feeling the pinch of financial pressures. Philanthropic giving is down, and not-for-profits are suffering.

This year, we will not be hosting the events we have held in the past, but we will be doing other activities to support our philanthropy, Riley Children's Hospital. We will continue to work on and deliver picture frames for the children who are hospitalized at Riley, and are working on a service project with the Ronald McDonald House as well.

In addition, we are putting together a small project to support the Delta Delta Delta Foundation, which helps sisters in need. Look for opportunities to donate to Foundation throughout the year as well.

Also, when you pay dues, note that we will always accept additional donations along with your dues, which we will also send to Riley.

We are in need of a new Philanthropy Chair! If you are interested in working on our philanthropy activities and events, please contact Gail.
