On
Saturday, March 22, 1980, at 12:30 pm, six dedicated and outstanding
members of Miami Alumnae Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc, met at the home of Soror Evelyn Wynn to formulate ideas and
reasons for establishing a second chapter in Dade County.
The
"Council" consisting of six members, was called together
by Soror Maud. P. Newbold who applied for an application for a
new chapter based on the interest and concern of many Sorors who,
for many years, expressed the need to extend public service projects
throughout the county without imitations. The council members
were: Maud P. Newbold, Chairperson, Margaret P. Baulkman, Beverly
E. Nixon, Dorothy J. Saunders, Dorothy S. Sawyer, Evelyn H. Wynn
During
the course of the meeting, the council members "cautiously"
pinpointed Sorors whom they felt exemplified high ideals of Delta
Sigma Theta in addition to their "sterling" records
of service in Delta, their talents, experience an contribution.
The following Sorors were contacted to join the "council"
in order to fulfill all preliminary requirements for a charter:
Zandra R. Albury, Juanita A. Lane, Cleomie W. Bloomfield, Sheba
M. Martin, Bobbie D. Bowen, Darlene Gay, Pernella C. Burke, Ruth
K. Jones, Thelma B. Davis, Elmer H. Kilpartrick, Martha C. Day
and Marcia J. Saunders.
Following
a sequence of events, Soror Kathleen Wright, Regional Director,
notified Sorors Maud P. Newbold and Nettie Dove (president of
Miami Alumnae) for the purpose of selecting a mutually satisfactory
date for the transitional workshop for both chapters and also
the chartering. On January 10, 1981, at 12:00 noon, the Dade County
Alumnae Chapter was charted at Belafonte-Talcocy center, with
Kathleen Wright officiating.
It
was unanimously voted that Maud. P. Newbold serve as first President
of the new chapter, with all of the Charter Members servings as
"first" officers.
