ROCK SPRINGS — For the past biennium, the Wyoming State President of Alpha Delta Kappa has been Janelle Parton of Epsilo Chapter in Rock Springs. Wyoming has three chapters located in Casper, Cheyenne and Rock Springs.
When Parton was installed as president, she selected a worthy recipient for the Wyoming state altruistic project when she chose the Sweetwater County Child Developmental Center in Rock Springs as her state project.
During the past biennium, various fundraising efforts were initiated in order to raise money and materials for the center.
The current COVID-19 Coronavirus situation has made it impossible to meet as a group for the state convention, where a presentation of the donations would have been made to Director Cristy Pelham of the Child Developmental Center. Despite the cancellation of the convention, arrangements were made for the donations already collected to be delivered.
Pelham was recently presented with donations from the local Rock Springs chapter, with additional donations from Casper and Cheyenne slated to be delivered in August after the next state business meeting.
Donations included tied blankets, school supplies for students, and materials for teachers’ use. In addition, Pelham was presented with a check for over $1,000 to be used for student supplies and needs.
