Local sorority joins with Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club for book giveaway
Members Joyce Irby, Renna Giles, President Donna Mickens, Executive Director Sylvia Adams, Val Edwards, Ann Moye, Benita Brown with books collected to give away.
Last month, members of the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated-Beta Lambda Chapter, distributed books to students from the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club.
National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated is a professional organization of teachers, dedicated to promoting the academic achievement of young people across the globe.
Sylvia Adams, executive director of the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, warmly welcomed the members and helped to facilitate the matching of books to readers from kindergarten through grade twelve. Since the local chapter, Beta Lambda, supports initiatives designed to promote literacy, the collaboration between the two organizations was an excellent way to bring books and students together.
Beta Lambda Chapter President, Donna Mickens, members Benita Brown, Valeria Edwards, Renna Giles, Joyce Irby and Ann Moye, along with Ms. Adams, supported the idea that literacy development can help students become lifelong readers and expand an understanding of themselves and the world.
Our Kudos President, Mitchell Wimbush, and Zinos Pledgee, Karisalyn Wimbush, and Hub Parents Nekeyda Wimbush and Kathy Thomas, supported this event.
