On December 14, 2013, members of Delta Pi Delta Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega met at Imperial Golf Club in Naples, Florida, for their annual Christmas luncheon. Our hostess, Donna Porter, provided a beautiful luncheon and included on the menu our perennial favorite at Imperial, sticky buns.
After lunch, The Voices of Naples performed holiday Christmas carols. The Voices of Naples is a community chorus whose mission is to provide quality choral music to the community and to provide scholarship opportunities for student vocalists. A representative number of the 80-member choir sang at our luncheon under the direction of Artistic Director, Dr. Douglas Renfroe. Some members of the choir are from Naples and others, who spend the winter in Naples, are from all over the United States. The choir members are a volunteer ensemble, but they look, perform and conduct themselves like professionals.
Last year at our Christmas luncheon at Imperial, we celebrated the impending marriage of one of our younger members, Tiffany to her fiance, Jim. This year, we celebrated the birth of her child, Genevieve Grace. Especially on Christmas, we feel blessed that Tiffany has chosen to share with us the happiness of her new baby.
