Eta Chi Chapter of Sigma Phi Gamma International Sorority met Nov. 18 for the December business meeting at Mt. Tabor Hall in Dunkirk.

Kris Cook opened the meeting with pledge. Julie Terrell read the minutes of the November meeting and the correspondence. Shari Van Nuland gave the treasurer’s report.  Stephanie Faulkner announced that we made $551.25 on the apple dumpling sales.  The chapter delivered 20 fruit baskets to people in Dunkirk who don’t get out much or are ill.

The 25 Christmas fruit baskets will be delivered to the Carefree Apartments and other Dunkirk citizens at 10 a.m. Dec. 20. Treats were taken to the Waters Rehabilitation Center for Halloween and will also be taken Dec. 20 after fruit baskets are delivered. Eta Chi will take pictures at the Glass Capital Chrysler of children with Santa from 5:30 Dec. 2 during the Feel the Warmth celebration in Dunkirk. The price will be $2 for each picture, and the pictures can be picked up at Rose Morgan’s Accounting office the following week.
