Good Deeds Work
It will be an exciting year for Alpha Delta. From entertainment to teaching, our chapter is becoming more and more involved with the Athens, Ohio community and Ohio University’s own School of Music.
Early in January we assisted with the Honor Band and Choir Festival hosted by the School of Music. In February we will be sponsoring our 2 nd annual Good Works Dinner. Native to this area, the Good Works program reaches out to the community and to those most in need. The dinner is as much of a service to us as it is to those who attend it. After cooking for over 120 friends and family members, we sit down and enjoy a meal. After making some new friends, many sisters will perform in small musical ensembles for the Good Works guests. It is a fun and self-rewarding experience for everyone.
We are currently raising money for a Tsunami fund, Ohio University Bands, and Nelsonville York’s music programs. By Spring Quarter both Alpha Delta chapters will be underway with an after school music tutoring program at Nelsonville York Jr. High School. Many of the students are not fortunate enough to have private lessons, and the music program’s schedule does not allow time for the band directors to give extra individual help. However, the students are enthusiastic about learning more about music and their instrument. We look forward to helping them.
During the spring, TBS will be very active with young children. We are hosting a Girl Scouts Day in which we help them receive art badges through music, art and dance activities. We will also volunteer for Harry Potter Day. Both of these fun-filled days create constructive experiences for the area’s youth; and they’re fun for us, too!
As we all do good deeds through music and kindness, remember that you may receive more than you have given. But do not fear: accept this gift with an open heart. |
