Portion of school supplies donated by ADK Members

In the few weeks leading up to ADK’s September meeting active members shopped and collected school supplies as a first measure of support for H4C’s students in other countries. Susan Raiders, Zeta Chapter President, presented the collections to Ms. Smith at the conclusion of her speaking. Within a few months these supplies will find themselves in the eager and grateful hands of H4C children. Thank you, Members of ADK Sorority, Zeta Chapter, for your thoughtfulness and generosity!
