Members of Delta Pi Delta Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega held their annual fundraiser and fashion show at Bonita Bay Club in Bonita Springs, Florida, on February 8, 2014. In the morning, some members and their guests got together to play cards and games, and others joined them at lunchtime. After lunch, a fashion show was presented by Dillard’s Department Store from Coastland Center Mall in Naples, Florida, and our own members modeled fashions from the store. A raffle of donated items was part of the fundraising efforts. Our fundraising goes to support our philanthropies, the shelters for abused women in Collier, Charlotte and Lee County, and the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, whose mission is to educate and empower women
