Showers of Thanksgiving Blessings (Thanksgiving Basket Committee Report)
Food Baskets have been donated to three needy families, in the Las Vegas Community, for the past several years.
The chapter needs a $5.00 donation from each soror, in order to purchase food items, for the baskets.
Sorors, let us continue this project, and make it an activity, we will not forget.
The support and contributions will be in our thoughts and also in remembrance of our Soror Thelma Tyree, (Ivy Beyond The Wall).

Things to Be Thankful For
To good, green earth beneath our feet, The air we breathe, the food we eat, Some work to do, a goal to win, A hidden longing deep within That spurs us on to bigger things And helps us meet what each day brings, All these things and many more Are things we should be thankful for , . « And most of all our thankful prayers Should rise to God because He cares!
