Do you have a little time to help with an event or party?
Our Palo Alto alumnae chapter has been so generous with their time. Again this year we have several events where our "eyes and helping hands" can assist our visually impaired friends. Please respond to my request by email or I will call you.
  • Annual Summer Picnic for Silicon Valley Council of the Blind in San Jose. 2-3 hour shifts helping with setup, cleanup or "eyes and helping hands". Very relaxing day in a lovley open space park by the bay.
  • Delta Gamma Holiday Party for the Blind and Visually Impaired. This is always a special day! Sweet Adelines sing and yummy food is served. Drivers, food prep & helpers are needed.

Other events and "One on One" service activities are available. For example, Susan Mueller and her dog, Honey, have been visiting elderly friends at a local rehab center. Our members are also called upon to give rides to trains, appointments and events for our DG sisters and others. These times are always rewarding as we make new friends and learn so much about the needs of people with disabilities.

I hope you can help! Lolly Osborne lolly@osbofamily.com
