My organization has 3 philanthropies. Links To Literacy, Arrowmont, and Arrow In The Arctic (a uniquely Canadian philanthropy that provides culturally relevant books and other media items to children living in the North West Territories, Yukon and Nunavut).
My chapter also participates in various projects locally depending on where the ladies interests lie. For example, my chapter has actively supported the local food bank by collecting donations, lending their services to charity AIDS functions, raking leaves for the elderly, nursing home visits, local reading circles. One year my chapter held a literacy event for the children of Guelph. Not to mention that many of my sisters spend their own time volunteering in the local elementary schools or at libraries. One of my sisters even workd at the community volunteer centre and got many of us involved in other volunteer projects.
I'm do't want to toot our own horn (but I will
), we're a very ACTIVE chapter.
I also have to disagree with you Glitterkitty. My chapter from day 1, before I even pledged would go on and on about how membership was a lifelong commitment.
NPC groups have some workd to do, but don't think for a minute that we don't expect commitment from our members.
