On Saturday, January 15, 2022, the Physical and Mental Health Committee of the Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter held its Second Annual “Silent Walk of Gratitude” in observance of Founders Day, and in alignment with our DeltaCare initiative.
Chairperson Dr. Gena Davis, CoChairs Kim Jackson Matthews and Veronica Rowl
spearheaded the event, with support from First VP/Committee Liaison Kemba N. Miles and Second VP Wilda Tillman. The walk was held at Bruce’s Beach on the Strand in Manhattan Beach. Despite the rain, and a threat of a Tsunami, 25 Deltas showed up and showed out! They each recorded between 7,00010,000 steps after the 3-mile walk.
Sorors from Los Angeles, South Bay, and Long Beach Alumnae Chapters joined us
for this occasion. We managed to reflect and feel a small slice of normalcy as we enjoyed fellowship with one another. There was laughter, selfies reconnections, and new connections that were made as we strolled on the Strand. We ended the walk at the Bruce’s Beach monument and asked each Soror to reflect on 22 things she was grateful for. What a memorable way of honoring our 22 in 2022!
