Holiday Sharing Chair

Each year, the Salt Lake City Alumnae Association (SLCAA) participates in the Rose McGill Holiday Sharing Program. The Holiday Sharing Program provides a support system for current Rose McGill Confidential Aid recipients during the holidays. We purchase gifts from a wish list, wrap them, and send the gifts to our recipient in order to make the holidays a happier time for those members in need. I am a member of the Delta Eta 2005 pledge class and served as the Vice President of Standards while an active member. I have been a member of the SLCAA since I graduated in 2008. I am thankful for the relationships I built and maintained during my time as an active Kappa and now as a member of the SLCAA.
