Beginning May 9th thru May 14th, the entire community is encouraged to come out for IAC May Week 2011! Our theme is “Ninety Eight Years Old..and STILL Moving”-as a sisterhood that values service and scholastic achievement! We encourage you to “zumba” at the Madame Walker Theatre Center on Monday night with our National Second Vice President, Chelsea C. Hayes, “rejoice in red” on Wednesday with Bishop T. Garrott Benjamin, Jr. and the Light of the World Christian Church family and EMBODI the Arts on Friday night with Steward & Associates and award winning actor and author, Mr. Hill Harper at the Walker! On Saturday, we will close out the week with a Financial Fortitude workshop and our 2nd Annual Arts & Scholarship Program that will showcase our youth rogram participants as well as our community at Broad Ripple High School. You can also get involved by helping us to raise funds for worthy international causes throughout the week! So, let’s get MOVING and remember, in the words of our 24th National President, Cynthia M.A. Butler McIntyre, “Delta Sigma Theta is a MOVEment and NOT a monument”! So, get moving and don’t miss May Week 2011! Check out the May Week tab for event details and contact information!

Spring has Sprung and it’s time to put our Purpose in Motion. Save the Date of Saturday, April 23, 2011 for our Delta/Que Day of Purpose Part 2. Those of you who had the opportunity to participate for round one did a wonderful job and I know we agree that it was a fun and rewarding experience. We will return again to Briarwood Health and Rehabilitation Center and our primary focus this time will be the maintenance of the exterior and landscaping. Sorors, it will be just exciting as it sounds. One of our targeted goals is to beautify the Courtyard with Patio furniture and accessories. Sorors, if you are someone you know has a contact with a business who would be willing to donate to this cause, please let us know. We will also be speaking with the Omegas about members of our Organizations making donations to purchase landscaping items as well. Sorors, feel free to share any ideas you might have in making this project a success. Please be on the lookout for exciting updates to this fabulous Day of Service. There will be 2 shifts, 8:45 to 11:30 and 11:30 to 2:00 with a group picture at 11:30. Allergies preventing you from working outside? I’m sure we can find something inside for you to do. Sign up sheets will be available at the April Chapter Meeting. What a great way to give back for the Easter Weekend. That evening we will be hosting the Spring edition of the Scholarship Matinee called “A White Affair” at Cloud 9 Bar and Grill from 6pm to 10pm. Tickets are now available for $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Sorors, get your tickets early. Tickets will be available at Executive Board, Chapter meeting, The Jewelry Lady (7427 N. Shadeland Ave 46250), E.M. Hughes and Associates (8078 Windham Lake Drive 46214) or any Reclamation Committee. Donations are appreciated as well.
