Hello all,
Please visit the Events page to RSVP so we know who plans to attend Carole’s celebration. It means a lot to us to know who will be joining in honoring her life.

Items listed under Belongings are available to be claimed. If there’s something you’d like to keep in remembrance, please contact Dionne. A small donation and shipping cost are requested. Since Teja and I are not members of Delta Sigma Theta, and many of you are, we felt this would be a meaningful way for her sisters to hold on to a piece of her. Shipping cost are as follows for flat rate boxes, a large box ($26.30) , a medium box ($19.15) , and small is ($10.65).

Feel free to share this page with anyone who would want to honor Carole’s memory.

Thank you — we look forward to seeing you on the 3rd.
