The May birthday Celebration will be held on May 23, 1998 for the May birthday residents at the nursing facility at 11:00am. We ask that any soror who is interested to help at the party, we need Sorors to “mingle” with the residents and assist in the activity. We will also be serving the cake to the residents who are unable to attend the “party” Please see Soror Lisa Russell after the meeting.
To the committee members, due to our busy schedules, please meet with Soror Lisa Russell after the meeting to give a day that you are available to discuss activity and suggestions.
Due to prior conflicts early on in the volunteer program, a meeting was held with the Facility Administrator on April 16th. It was a success, and an open communication was re-establish with the facility and Sorors who volunteer their time. Please see me at the conclusion of the meeting.

The activities for the North Las Vegas Care Center has been delayed due to other Soror commitments, obligations, and chapter programs. However, communication have been re-established with the facility activities Director Ms. Claudine Joseph, and enthusiasm was high. Other Greek organizations, have been regulary donated time to the facility, but support from Alpha Kappa Alpha was strongly encouraged.
For the Christmas Holiday, a banner and monthly calendar was given to the center on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. The facility requests that such a calendar be provided on a monthly basis. In addition, Christmas decorations are needed to decorate a tree which the center has donated on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Decoration ideas are needed in addition to volunteers to help decorate the tree. The facility requests that we do so on December 12, 1998 or sooner.
If you are interested in decorating the Christmas tree, please do so by signing the sheet provided. In addition, Alpha Kappa Alpha presence is strongly requested at the facility at least monthly, and ideas are strongly encouaraged. Due to the holiday and Mardi Gras preparations, a telephone meeting of the committee members will be set at a date and time to be announced.
I move that $30.00 be donated by the chapter towards the cost of Christmas decorations for the Senior Citizen Program for the North Las Vegas Care Center.
I move that the Senior Citizen Program report be accepted as read.
