The Phoenix Valley Alumnae Chapter was recognized for its efforts as a service organization at Tri Delta's latest Convention. While we are always looking for ways to improve our alumnae chapter, apparently in some areas we don’t need a lot of improvement:

We won some awards at  the 2008 DDD Convention in Chicago in July! Our chapter was named

• Second Runner-up for the Philanthropy and Community Service Award
• WINNER of the Alumnae Communications Award

Congratulations & thanks to all who made this happen!

We are very honored to have been recognized as a group that upholds the ideals of Tri Delta and will continue to work towards making an impact in our community.
