Altruism in Action<br />
Colorado alpha gamma Chapter teamS with read to the ChildreN<br />
Coordinated by the Colorado State Library, the Read to the Children program<br />
provides books to Colorado Department of Corrections inmates. Inmates are recorded<br />
as they read the books aloud. The recordings are then burned to CDs and mailed as gifts<br />
to their children. In April, chapter sisters collected books for the Read to the Children<br />
Program and wrote personal letters to prisoners, which accompanied the books. Also in<br />
April, members created cosmetic packets for a local women’s shelter.<br />

CaliforNia zeta Chapter SupportS future eduCatorS oN butterfly wiNgS<br />
Mother-daughter rap music and operatic arias during high tea? Not unusual for the<br />
creative “Butterfly Babes” of Zeta Chapter in southern California who have been taking<br />
tea together with family and friends for the past 12 years. Soft rolling greens, spraying<br />
fountains, ponds, early California murals, flagstone balconies, and purple and tangerine<br />
butterfly centerpieces provided the backdrop for this annual event. Since its inception in<br />

a member’s garden, attendance and profits have grown steadily. This year’s May production, “On Butterfly Wings,” drew<br />
170 guests and raised nearly $11,000.<br />
Planning starts the previous September. “It is a unifying effort that binds the women of Zeta together in a living<br />
circle of sisterhood,” said Tea Chairman JoAnn McDonald. “It is a collective effort but also features individual talent.<br />
Finally, it is a shared mission of giving to young students in need who will follow<br />
us into careers in education.”<br />
Because the butterfly is a universal symbol of change, empowering teachers to<br />
transform themselves and others, it was chosen for this year’s theme. The butterfly<br />
centerpieces were created by an advanced local high school art class. Members<br />
contribute handcrafted cards and heritage albums, charming teapots, a profusion<br />
of flowering plants, colorful wicker baskets cradling wine and household decorative<br />
items and an array of gift cards from popular restaurants and businesses.<br />
Through the generosity of patrons and after expenses are factored in, the<br />
proceeds are divided between Long Beach City College and California State<br />
University of Long Beach. Scholarship recipients must declare an interest in<br />
teaching and have a need of financial support.<br />
