The event was open to the public, and more than 80 women filled the church to hear remarks and watch a performance, put on by the lovely ladies, titled AKA: The Journey.

“It’s important for us to spread the news, and let them know that we are in service to all mankind," said  Pi Omega’s President, Terryl James, "We’re not just a pretty organization. We’re here to be in service to others, and we have community projects that we work on. We have target initiatives, we’re busy all year doing work in the community and acknowledging others who need our help.”
