Sing, eat and praise at annual Soulful Gospel Brunch
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (WMBD) — The Bloomington-Normal Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated is inviting you to soulfully sing, eat and be merry as they raise funds for local programming and scholarships.
On March 1, the chapter is hosting its 17th Annual Soulful Gospel Brunch.
'This is our signature program,' said President Meta Mickens-Baker. 'We are looking forward to a program of gospel music. So we feed the community spiritually. People come together and really have performers who are more headliner but also our local churches and community members who will do song, dance and spoken word. Plus a delicious brunch.'
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated was founded in 1913. The Bloomington-Normal Alumnae Chapter was chartered in 1983. Some of the chapter's initiatives include Adopt-A-Street on Market Street, hosting blood drives and sponsoring a program for girls in junior high and high school. They also support World Aids Day and are sponsoring a Congolese family in the community.
'In the past we've met some local leaders, like the NAACP, even our police chiefs to talk about policing in our neighborhood and things that we can do to come together to join forces in issues that are happening in our area. And also how to interact with each other in the community,' said Past President Goline Lawrence.
The brunch is at Bloomington's DoubleTree Hotel & Conference Center at 10 Brickyard Drive. Ticket sales end on Feb. 22. To purchase tickets click here.
