Omicron Zeta Omega participates in The Longest Day
The Omicron Zeta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and other AKA chapters around the world joined the Alzheimer’s Association for The Longest Day on Thursday, June 21, 2018. The purpose of the Longest Day is to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and share information and prevention tactics with our community. The Longest Day symbolizes the challenging journey of those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. Residents in the Alzheimer’s unit at Palmetto Ridge Assisted Living Facility in Cheraw, SC, received care bags from the chapter. The bags contained items essential for the care, comfort and safety of the residents. The smiling faces of the residents as they received their bags were priceless. One sweet lady who was all smiles said innocently to Edneesha Johnson (president), “I told my husband people bring us gifts.”
