The work began on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 24, with the
delivery of close to 100 complete turkey dinners to seniors in the Windsor
Crossing complex in Suitland, Md. Each dinner consisted of a 12-14 lb turkey,
mixed vegetables, green beans, candied yam patties, and a sweet potato pie. The
Brothers of the Super Chapter joined by Friendship Charities Foundation, the
brothers from Lambda Gamma Gamma chapter and local students. You cannot imagine
the looks on the faces of residents who answered the knock at their door to
large packages of Thanksgiving meals ready-to-cook. Because the turkeys are
purchased frozen, the two-day lead time is perfect for the seniors to prepare
their Thanksgiving dinner.
Precisely a week later, Gamma Pi Brothers helped get
families ready for Christmas by sponsoring the annual Christmas Toy Drive for
the Suitland community, held December 1 at Suitland Elementary School. Again, Gamma Pi
joined forces with Lambda Gamma Gamma and the Friendship Charities Foundation
to give away some 100 toys for boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 13.
As many people know, Royal Purple and Old
Gold are the colors representing Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. For this
reason, the only red and white in the house was that worn by Santa Claus, who,
as always, delighted the youth by making his list and checking it twice with
the young children who shared their Christmas Wish Lists with him.Happy Holidays from The Super Chapter!!
