Christmas with Alpha Chi Omega at Imperial Golf Club

Members of Delta Pi Delta Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega met for a Christmas celebration at Imperial Golf Club in Naples, Florida, on December 8, 2018. Hostess Donna Porter provided a beautiful luncheon and included on the menu sticky buns, our perennial favorite at Imperial. We loved them, as usual. As Christmas gifts, members brought personal items and gift cards for women and children in shelters in Hendry, Lee and Collier Counties.

After lunch The Naples Carolers performed holiday music. Dressed in elegant Victorian costumes, the a capella vocal quartet serenaded members at each table in the dining room with a Christmas song of  the members’ choice. The quartet concluded their performance with a sing-along of favorite Christmas carols.

This was a very special day for Alice Jacobs, who has reached her seventy-five year anniversary milestone. Alpha Chi Omega honors its 75-year members by giving them their pin as a gift from the Fraternity.  Each milestone has a corresponding ceremony. Past National President of Alpha Chi Omega, Judy Anderson, conducted the ceremony, and Donna presented Alice with her seventy-five year pin and a bouquet of red carnations, our official flower.
