NVAPA Gift Wrapping for Juvenile Diabetes

The Northern VA Alumnae Panhellenic Association (NVAPA) will once again be participating in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual gift wrapping fundraiser at the Pentagon City mall on Sunday, December 16th. As a member of NVAPA, the NoVA alumnae chapter has agreed to provide six volunteers for this very important event on December 16th from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM. So far we have three volunteers but we need three more. Please email dottishields@yahoo.com and if you are interested in volunteering.

Thanks so much to everyone who has volunteered for this event in the past. We're looking forward to another successful event this year.

Service Events with NOVACO

The NoVA Chapter has teamed up with the Northern Coalition, a non-profit organization that helps homeless victims of domestic abuse become healthy and self-sufficient. We will be helping NOVACO with the following service activities:

• October 22 - Youth Activities Night - providing fun activities for 10-15 children while their moms are attending NOVACO's life skills class
• November 19 - Youth Activities Night
• December 10 - Dinner for families and dinner with sisters! This social event will have a philanthropy component as we will ask sisters attending this social event to bring designated dinner "supplies" for NOVACO families.

If you are interested in attending any of these events or have questions, please feel free to contact Michele Dominiak at moochichi at gmail dot com.
