As part of a service initiative to better help this organization fulfill its mission, Epsilon Chapter has set a goal to raise $3000 for Chances Haven. (Leftover proceeds will go to the Spinal Bifida Walk, which will take place next semester.) The money will go toward building a new fence around the perimeter of the establishment so that the dogs will have a safe place to play outdoors. 30 days of Fundraising will run from March 18 to April 16. Our first event will be a profit day (all day) at Old School Pizza and Suds on Monday March 18. For a complete list of events , contact our service officer at epsilon.service@kappadeltachi.org

Through generous donations from caring individuals and companies, we feel that we can make a difference in the life of these animals. No animal deserves to be left alone or in the cold without a loving hand or food. Our love of
