Beta Gamma Chapter Hosts “Because We Care” Community Forum
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
On Saturday, April 14, the
women of Beta Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa Sorority, Inc
held a free, informational forum to provide families with
the resources and tools to enable them to care for
themselves and their loved ones.
The sorority invited
representatives from organizations or companies to speak
about caring for the elderly, about Medicare and Medicaid
and about estate planning.
Arcelia Armstrong of the
Area Office on Aging spoke to the attendees about health
care for the dependent, ill or handicapped elderly.
Pastor Arthur Battles, Esq,
addressed the issue of estate planning – benefit programs,
probate matters, final arrangements and wills, living trusts
and other necessary legal documents.
The national sorority of
Phi Delta Kappa, Inc. was founded in 1923 by eight young
educators with high ideals for the teaching profession who
wanted to found a sisterhood for African-American women. The
members of the sorority are dedicated to the task of
training and mentoring the youth of the community to cope
satisfactorily and effectively with today’s problems. |
