 The Community Service Committee’s placemat activity took place on May 27. 2021 at 1:00 pm. Sorors participated in fun games, won prizes and created encouraging placemats for clients at the Alvis House. The purpose of this activity was to create and decorate paper placemats to help make dinner for individuals who are often eating in cafeteria-style dining rooms in group homes, community centers and hospitals have a more personal and family feeling experience as if they were at home. Soros created the most beautiful placemats filled with positive messages. We loved your attention to detail and we are please with what we were able to create and donate! Congratulations to our placemat winner, Soror Lataisha Goins! The committee is planning “Back to School Drive” for the late summer so please stay tuned for more information!
