G reeting Gamma Chi Mem-
bers!
As the summer draws to an
end, I do hope you and your family
had an opportunity to have some fun
in the sun. I can attest that the sum-
mer certainly went by fast.
Gamma Chi Chapter continues to
grow; since our May meeting we
have had four sorors to transfer into
our chapter. Edna Fleming and Cheryl Handy from Mu
Phi Chapter, Erika Figueroa from Chi Phi Beta, Florida
A&M University, and Deatriced Linyear-Davis of Rho
Chi. Please make yourself known to our sorors at the
next meeting.
Everyone will play an important role in making our 2015-
2016 sorority year a great success. I want to thank you in
advance for the work you will do to improve the health
and quality of care of the Atlanta community that we
serve. There is much work to be done; we need to con-
tinue to spread our wings out into the community. The
more we grow the more services we can provide, to
whom much is given much is required. Every member’s
name of Gamma Chi Chapter should appear on at least
one committee. This year we want to make sure that all
committees have a co-chair.
We are off to an awesome start; congratulations to our
Fundraising Committee, who reached their goal with the
Tablet Give-a-Way. Many thanks for your support. Get
ready, get ready, get ready for the Green and Yellow Gala
during our Founder’s Day weekend; the success of this
event depends on your support. We have already done a
community educational offering on signs and symptoms
of a Stroke. We had a splendid time during our annual
family and friends picnic hosted by Soror Liz Alexander
and her daughter Rolander Alexander-Edun. I am so
grateful to both of them and all members who help for
the hard work that they put into making the picnic a suc-
cess. The membership committee is off to another great
start with the planning of our next Chi Line. With all of
this going on we can’t help but to have a successful year!
Sisterly,
