During the May 13, 2017 Chapter meeting of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Epsilon Gamma Omega
Chapter, Basileus Soror Wilma Ruffin reflected that “our bonds of friendship and sisterhood are strengthened
through service, and particularly, as we work together to obtain common goals of our targets, as we answer
the call of the needs within our community”. This was truly evident at
the sorority meeting as members continue to support our international
targets designed to serve our community.

The Educational Enrichment Committee collected backpacks for the
Block Party/Community Day with the Huntsville Police Department
th
North Precinct held on May 20 . Items were also collected for the
Lunches of Love collaboration effort for the Monrovia School
Children.

The Health Promotions Committee
presented the president of the North
Alabama National Alliance on Mental
Illness with a check for $500. The Health
Committee also collected money for the
Longest Day Fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s
Association.

Members of the Family Strengthening
Committee assisted the Rose of Sharon Soup
Kitchen with the many needs, as they assist the homeless and less fortunate. Chapter members brought in many
items that are desperately needed which include canned food items, toiletries, socks, tissue and paper towels.

Environmental Ownership Committee members collected
gently used and new shoes for the New Futures Program.
New Futures provides shelter, monetary and educational
support to Huntsville residents in an effort to make self-
sufficiency a reality. All donations were delivered to New
Futures after the meeting.

EGO also supported the North Alabama Pan Hellenic Council’s community service
project for Catholic Family Services. It is noteworthy to mention that EGO members collected over 1,000
th
diapers and baby wipes. All Greek organizations turned in their items at the annual picnic on May 20 . This
was an exciting time for EGO as we continue to strive to be of service to all mankind.
