Bubbles, Bites & Blankets

On May 3, alums enjoyed an afternoon of sisterhood and working on a special philanthropy project. We made colorful no-sew fleece blankets for campers at The Painted Turtle - a Seriously Fun camp. 
     
The Painted Turtle is a camp for kids with serious medical conditions located outside of Santa Clarita, CA on Lake Hughes. It was co-founded by Paul Newman in 1999 and Delta Zeta has supported the Volunteer Program since 2006. Each camper receives a donated blanket at camp and takes it home with them. 

         
What a lovely afternoon!​

The Statesboro Revue has been playing together since 2009 when they hit the Texas Music Chart with two Top 20 singles. Their sound is a mix of old school rock and roll and blues with some country roots. Stewart Mann, the main songwriter, has a soulful voice that landed him the starring role in “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” at the historic Cameo Theatre in San Antonio. They have played with Los Lonely Boys, the Allman Brothers Band, Willie Nelson, Turnpike Troubadours, Eli Young Band, and the Marshall Tucker Band just to name a few. You DO NOT want to miss this sisterhood event!

Giving Graciously of What is Mine

June '24
​Summer Hydration and Safety Event

Picture
​On June 1st, the San Antonio Delta Zeta Alumnae Chapter spent the morning with Chicktime Converse and the MINT program at Boysville in Converse. The group shared the importance of staying hydrated during the summer months in South Texas. The moms were each provided with a water cup, adult and child sunscreen, baseball caps for the moms and sunglasses for the children, sandpails, and air fresheners to remind them to “check the back seat”. Participants decorated the water cups and pails with inspirational vinyl stickers created and donated by an alumna. Snack treat included a host of fruits that are great summer snacks that help with hydration. 

Thank you Anna-Melissa Cavazos for the wonderful opportunity to serve our community and all of the coordination of supplies for the event! Thank you Xtina Gonzales for joining us at the event and thank you to Dee Dee Gonzalez-Alcoser for creating the inspirational vinyl stickers! 

❤️Giving graciously and serving our community

The items were delivered this past weekend. The founders of the organization met Anna-Melissa when she delivered the items and were grateful for the donations.
