The local Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority has made a holiday donation to the Agape Center of NRV, and also remembers a former small business owner who assisted the Chapter in fundraising for its community service efforts.
“Members of Alpha Mu Master Chapter collectively agreed to forgo Christmas gifts to one another and donate instead to The Agape Center NRV, who assists people in need throughout the NRV, including Montgomery County and the City of Radford,” said Carolyn K. Sowers, Public Relations Chair of the Beta Sigma Phi Chapter.
Chapter members wanted to honor the memory of Louise Via of Floyd, a Stanley products salesperson who for many years collaborated with the chapter for a major fundraising Stanley Products Sale event.
“Mrs. Via took a lot of pride and effort in planning the party, conducting an on-site party event with the chapter, realizing proceeds would assist many community needs,” said Sowers. “The funds that the chapter raises through these events is what allows such community service donations to be possible. The Chapter wanted the Via family to know just how much Mrs. Via’s assistance and support meant to the entire chapter and affected many in the community. A portion of the chapter donation was earmarked in her honor.”
