HNurture Nature Tree Giveaway and Planting Events

Houston lost a real jewel of a human being when Dr. Polly Sparks Turner passed away. Her legacy will be felt for generations to come. She was such an advocate for children and education. In honor of her memory, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter held two events on Earth Day. The first event was a Nurture Nature Tree Giveaway at the Blue Triangle Community Center, and the second event was Nurture Nature Tree Planting at Young Women’s College Preparatory Academy. Both events were underwritten by the Astros Foundation. Also invited to plant trees were the participants of their Youth Leadership Institute and members of the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of the same sorority. Some in attendance were Staci Fullmighter, Paula Harris, Charlotte Bryant, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, Jessica Brooks, Andrea Bonner, Donna Miles, Melanie Miles, Mary Barnett, and Lucy Bremond.
