Theta Rho Omega Chapter Basileus Message Page 4 Page 4 THETA RHO OMEGA SORORS PLEASE GIVE YOURSELVES A BIG PAT ON THE BACK!! Isn’t it wonderful when a plan successfully comes together!! THANK YOU A huge to our VQ Chairman, Soror Gloria Pleasont and to the entire VQ Fundraising Committee for all your dedication. Our 19 th Annual Vision Quest Awards – Walking by Faith into New Dimen- sions of Service was a GREAT success due to Theta Rho Omega’s planning, hard work, and diligence. Exact numbers are not yet available; however, the raffle and donation appeal were extremely successful and there were over approximately 400 guests in attendance at the luncheon. It was refreshing to see the excitement from the ten Scholarship winners, AND the ten ASCEND Scholars. They are planning big, and we can take pride in knowing that we played a role in their plans. The fact that we have successfully monetarily impacted the lives of these young people in a positive and concrete way is something in which the entire chapter must take pride. Additionally, it is always wonderful when Theta Rho Omega Chapter can demonstrate to our faithful supporters—friends, neighbors and family—close up and personal SOME of the fruits of our collective community service. P.S. I don’t know about you, but I certainly enjoyed the TRO babies who were in attendance at their first Vison Quest!! Congratulations to all our Sorors who have May and June family graduations!!! It’s a busy time of the year for all of us—continuing our AKA community service, AND making sure we are there to support our families and the many milestones they are enjoying. That includes the graduation of our ASCEND SCHOLARS on May 26 th – Kudos to Sorors Dor- othy Bryant and Anita Harmon for all their hard work with the Educational Enrichment AS- CEND Target !! With all the May and June activity, Sorors don’t forget: --May is Mental Health Awareness Month --To watch the June calendar for Little Dresses 2. --To be on the lookout for the Vision Quest Photo Album in the June Newsletter!! Sisterly Yours In Service, Jacqueline Richardson, Basileus
