The Super Chapter Reaches Back and Gives Back to Area Seniors
On Saturday, June 10, a squadron of Omega men from Gamma Pi Chapter converged on the Gethsemane United Methodist Church in Capitol Heights for the chapter's Annual Seniors Banquet. As in past years, the event drew a full house of seniors from the local community-- many in their 80s and older -- to an afternoon that featured a hearty hot meal, entertainment, a sermon from a Gamma Pi Brother, musical selections from the Gamma Pi Chorale and games and prizes. Chapter members devote a lot of time to the project every year and in keeping with past tradition, members spend most of Friday night grocery shopping and cooking the meals. As part of its aggressive Social Action program, Gamma Pi makes an effort to reach out to local seniors throughout the year. In addition to the banquet, Gamma Pi sponsors quarterly "birthday bashes" for seniors in the Suitland area and a summer picnic/fish fry. Hats off to Bro. Shake Alieu who coordinated a successful seniors banquet.
