What is the world is going on with some of the G.E.M.S.????

Thank you. I should have specified that by out of school time activities, I really meant stand-alone after school programs.

I figured you meant not associated with a school. From what I know, the Delta GEMS programs are stand-alone after school programs even if school facilities are used.

Some G.E.M.S. and Academy programs are supplemented with private funding. But mostly they are funded from chapter operating budgets. Sorors put in a lot of human resource time to operate the programs.

As for the OP, I agree with Dr. Phil. The positive impact of the programs far outweighs any reason to be upset or concerned about the ones that stroll, step, etc. There are much bigger fish to fry.
