Delta Gamma has been busy this fall! May it be with our
annual dog walk with Lions Club of Blacksburg or celebrating our “honorary”
Delta Gamma member’s birthday, Louise at her favorite restaurant. Without a
doubt, this semester has been filled with activities to raise support and
awareness for Delta Gamma’s philanthropy – service for sight.
Earlier this month, Delta Gamma participated in the annual
dogs walk hosted by the Lions Club here in Blacksburg, Virginia. The Lion’s
Club is an international program with a chapter in Blacksburg that is known for
working to end preventable blindness and helps with a variety of projects
important to the community. The annual dog walk that Delta Gamma participates
in is an example of a community project that the Lion’s Club puts on. All
chapter women join the Lion’s Club in a walk around Blacksburg with dogs that
assist the blind in their every day activities, along side learning about the
benefits of seeing-eye dogs.
Every year through participation of the dog walk with Lion’s
Club Delta Gamma manages to learn something new about the community we strive
to serve. The chapter women really enjoy understanding how their efforts
actually help individuals with blindness.
This semester, Delta Gamma also celebrated Louise’s birthday
at her favorite restaurant Home Place. Louise is an individual very close to
Delta Rho, Delta Gamma’s heart as our chapter has had a close relationships
with her for years now. Louise is blind and lives in Christiansburg, and helps
all the chapter members of Delta Rho understand the difficulties of being blind
and what really helps and assists their living. We were absolutely honored to
be there with her during her celebration and look forward to many birthday
celebrations as fun to come!
