DELTA ’ s
WHERE EXCELLENT SERVICE
2017 Fall Workshop
By Jamila Pope
It was the grand opening for the Jacksonville location of Delta ’ s Department Store on Saturday , August 19 . The community and 156 sorors have been eagerly waiting to see what each section of the store has to offer . Our employee orientation began with an invigorating welcome . Chaplain Monica Hardy rendered an inspirational message about “ The Help ” being someone who serves , supports and nourishes with each action requiring temperance and patience . These qualities are the goals of the store associates .
The Jacksonville Alumnae Chapter is known for providing innovative and informative programs along with exciting events . This inspired the motto for the 2017-2018 sororal year Where Excellent Service is Our Priority ! With the theme of Delta ’ s Department Store and our members as the employees , we intend to serve our constituents with Passion and Purpose . President Veronica Tutt ’ s “ Keeping it Real ” session with impromptu questions and answers was an invited new edition to the workshop . The membership committee led by First Vice President Aurelia Williams blessed all attendees with special sisterly survival kits filled with lots of love and compassion . Goals were laid out by the program planning and development chair that included positive engagement by sorors , being good stewards of each other ’ s time , and ensuring impactful programming for our community . We just ask for your presence and participation with that good ole Delta spirit .
