On March 20, <strong>2010</strong>, the chapter held its 20th annual Spring Luncheon and Fashion<br />
Show, coordinated by member Susan Prevost. Proceeds from the fundraiser support the<br />
Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation, local community outreach and student scholarships.<br />
arizoNa theta Chapter adoptS gibboN<br />
The chapter invited Director Alan Mootnick of the International Center for Gibbon<br />
Studies to speak at a chapter meeting last year. Members learned about the plight of several<br />
species of highly endangered gibbons and the work being done at the center to save<br />
these animals.<br />
The chapter began collecting coins to support the Center in Santa<br />
Clarita, California. Member Mary Lou Johnston and her husband Patrick<br />
volunteer at the center, helping feed the gibbons and building enclosures.<br />
“In April 2009, a pileated gibbon was born and named Violet,” said<br />
Mary Lou. “Since the violet is our ADK flower, we felt it appropriate to<br />
use our donations to adopt her. Through our support, Violet is living<br />
comfortably in her family enclosure with her mother and father.”<br />

When the chapter heard at the <strong>2010</strong> Virginia State Convention that Ronald McDonald<br />
House needed immediate help, sisters responded. Altruistic Chairman Betty Vanderslice<br />
organized teams of four or five sisters to prepare meals that could be refrigerated and<br />
heated in a microwave oven. The 96-year-old building on Monument Avenue in Richmond<br />
was undergoing a major kitchen renovation and there would be no way to prepare meals<br />
for six months.<br />

New JerSey Kappa Chapter SupportS rett SyNdrome aSSoCiatioN<br />
In May <strong>2010</strong>, sisters donated two large baskets of red wine and chocolate to raffle at the “ Race For Grace,” a fundraiser<br />
in Naragansett, Rhode Island to benefit the International Rett Syndrome Association. Rett Syndrome is a genetic<br />
disorder which, by 18 months of age, robs a seemingly healthy girl of her ability to walk, talk or care for herself.<br />
The chapter also participates in many local altruistic projects including working at the Elijah’s Promise soup kitchen,<br />
collecting business and casual wear for “Hire Attire,” a boutique for people entering the work force after completing a<br />
New Jersey job training program; and providing 60 gift bags of personal items, snacks and toys for the children at a local<br />
family shelter.<br />

Members met in summer <strong>2010</strong> at Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine, for a<br />
morning of volunteer work. The sisters worked in the gardens and also stuffed<br />
envelopes. Camp Sunshine “provides respite, support, joy and hope to children<br />
with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families through various stages<br />
of a child’s illness. The year-round program is free of charge to all families, and<br />
includes 24-hour onsite medical and psychosocial support. Bereavement groups<br />
are also offered for families who have lost a child to an illness.”<br />
