On Saturday, September 14, 2019, Gamma Chapter members visited the Leap of Faith Dance Company to learn about their work and enjoy a performance by three of the dancers.

Leap of Faith Dance Company was established by Dave and Kelley Haney in 2003. Their vision was to establish a family ministry to deliver on their Mission Statement: “Our goal is to use the talents we have been blessed with to help children have fun, learn to dance, and understand valuable life lessons through scripture and Christian music….”

Leap of Faith offers instruction in contemporary, ballet/pointe, tap/stomp, jazz, hip hop and breaking for all levels from beginner through master.

Below are photos submitted to us by Leap of Faith, documenting our morning with them. We thank Taiylor Preston for the photographs.

On February 2, 2019, our new initiate, Diane Hendrickson, brought her guest, Tammy Jewell, to discuss God's Hygiene Help Center, which is a local non-profit organization dedicated to providing hygiene, dignity, and hope to those in need with the compassion of Jesus. Tammy's compelling life story inspired and educated our chapter members, and gave us an insight into the needs of many individuals in our area who are in need of the most basic of personal supplies.

Through Upper Arlington Lutheran Church and Diane's help, Tammy established God's Hygiene as a nonprofit organization. She collects and distributes all kinds of personal care products to those who simply cannot afford to buy them.

God's Hygiene is located at 3016 Howey Road, Columbus OH 43224, and Tammy helps people by appointment. God’s Hygiene Help Center is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, and your donations are tax deductible.

Patricia (Pat) Farrenkopf was inducted into Gamma Chapter at our Sunny Street Cafe meeting on November 10, 2018. Welcome to Gamma Chapter!

Prior to our meeting, we participated in a silver sneakers stretching and exercise session at Lifetime Fitness.

The Alpha Delta State Convention was held during the weekend of April 13-15, 2018 at the Hilton Columbus, Polaris.

By Sandie Trask-Tyler: On February 10, 2018, we met at the Pizzuti Collection in the Short North for a guided tour of the current works of art.

Our two guides, Mark and Anne, shared their passion and expertise of the exhibits on display through April 29, 2018: PAIR: GLEN BALDRIDGE & ALEX DODGE, LINES/EDGES: FRANK STELLA ON PAPER, and NEW ON THE WALL (N.O.W.).

We all learned so much about the artists while viewing their outstanding and impressive artwork. Thank you to Janet Halter, Willa Mullins, and Sandie Trask-Tyler for contributing the photos in the slideshow.
