Many would better than when she arrived! argue that universal women issues to a great degree do not impact the African American women, our issues are different…there may be some truth to that statement. However, we should seize every opportunity to share our stories. Women are standing up for what we believe and fighting for the rights of our sister friends. Sisters are coming together, supporting each other and having our say. Alpha Kappa Alpha women are leaders. We are front and center in the lives of families, friends and our communities. We are thinkers and act on what can be done to make this world a better place. As a Soror, the focus should be what can we do to make our sorority and chapter better. This could mean reaching out to a Soror “Just Because” no special reason. A brief call or card will exemplify empathy and compassion. It sounds cliché, but the little things you Sisterly in Service, do creates the lasting memories. It is the power of our words and daily acts of kindness that will make the Soror Luevenia Holloway world a better place. Lambda Epsilon Omega let’s keep showing up! Basileus Supporting our high school students in #CAPS, voter registration, raising funds for scholarships and being Lambda Epsilon Omega, May 2019 Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 5 Pearl Spotlight SOROR MORGAN BIRCH Sisterly Relations Chairman Hello, my name is Soror Morgan Delia Birch and I am currently a Center Director for Premier Academy. Before accepting my new career endeavor at Premier Academy. I was the Center Operations Manager at Partnership for Community Action, Inc. I graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 2007 with my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Educational Studies. I also obtained my Masters Degree in 2013 in Educational Leadership in Administration and my Ed.S. in 2015 in Curriculum and Instruction from Capella University. I strive every day to provide a lasting education in each child that comes through my center. Being a part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has introduced me to a great opportunity that has taught me things about myself both in terms of my desire to be a positive influence in the lives of others and with my personal strengths as a leader and mentor. As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., I work hard to uphold the reputation and exceed the standards that those before me have set. Being a part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. has truly impacted my life in the most wonderful way. It has shown me that I can do anything I put my mind to if I am persistent, patient, and passionate about it. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is filled with women who I call “Go Getters”: Women who will go above and beyond to prove a point and make a difference. Women who don’t just sit there and watch things happen, but who get up and make things happen. I am thankful that I bring a strong and positive benefit to our illustrious sorority. “She walks in a room with her head held high, Acknowledgement of her presence is an awe-filled gaze, or admiring sigh. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman is regal and profound. She is the essence of feminism and these qualities abound.” -Ms. Morgan Birch 2 Lambda Epsilon Omega, May 2019 Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 5 3 Lambda Epsilon Omega, May 2019 Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 5 Program— Target 3 Entrepreneurship and The Black Dollar Sorors, Have you been tracking your Black Dollars Spent?

Do you know what to do in case of a fire? Where to go? The Risk Management Committee has a few tips to help keep you safe in the event of an emergency. Stay calm. Do not rush or panic. Safely stop your activity/meeting. Gather your personal belongings if it is safe to do so. Take prescription medications, keys, cell phone, I.D., purse, glasses, etc. with you if at all possible as it may be hours before you are allowed back into the building. Use the nearest safe stairs and proceed to the nearest exit. Know if any sorors or visitors will require assis- tance in exiting the building and be prepared to provide whatever help necessary. Proceed to the designated emergency evacuation assembly area (see below). Wait for instructions from emergency responders or safety coordinator. Do not re-enter the building or meeting area until you have been instructed to do so by emergency respond- ers. If seated on the right side of the room If seated on the left side of the room Assembly Area Assembly Area The Risk Management Committee directed the 1st emergency evacuation drill at the May chapter meet- ing. It was very successful! All sorors evacuated the building under 3 minutes which was the optimal time. Stay tuned for further safety instructions. Betty P. Stuckey, Chairman Neva Jones Foster, Co-Chairman 5 Lambda Epsilon Omega, May 2019 Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 5 Taking Care of Our Pearls Dear Sorors, June is a month of important holidays: Juneteenth, Father’s Day, the Longest Day and, of course, Lambda Epsilon Omega’s Chapter Anniversary. For more excitement? June’s flower symbol is the rose; its gemstone is the pearl. Many things to celebrate or enjoy this month! We can celebrate the emancipation of our people. Or, we can celebrate our fathers, husbands, sons, uncles … all the men who enhance our lives. (As a single mother, I celebrated Father’s Day too.) Our Sorority celebrates the Longest Day by recognizing our caregivers. Our Chapter Anniversary is a way to remind us of our sisterhood and the remarkable women with whom we share the journey. With all of this … the most important is to celebrate YOU. We are all beautiful and have many talents. Share your talents, compliment yourself, and bask in your glory. You are amazing! If you have good news to share, please do so! Births, engagements, weddings, retirements, graduations, accomplishments and anniversaries, we want to celebrate with you! And, if you are experiencing an illness or injury; have had a death occur in your family, or are in need of sisterly support, we want to help. Please send a message to our Basileus ([email protected]) or me ([email protected]) to let us know. Happy Birthday to all Sorors celebrating in June and July. We hope that each of you enjoy your special day! Have a restful summer.

  • The Omega Course
    The Omega Course A six-session course designed to help older people to face up to the challenges ageing. With Bible-based teaching and questions to encourage debate and discussion. Written by Peter Sanderson Adapted by Lesley Bell From an idea suggested by Don Blevin. O ehalf of “t. Pauls Churh, Kigsto Hill. Free to use. INTRODUCTION: The aims of the course (for course leaders). People are living longer. This fact presents social, economic and political challenges to both society and government. What about the Church? How do we support older people in the church family? How can we help them face the many issues that longevity brings? What part can they play in serving the church? Are they an under-used resource? What about people who are not practicing Christians? How do they approach old age and dying? How do we share the good news of Jesus with them? We recognise the invaluable work done by Evergreens* and the way the church seeks to accept and empower its Senior Citizens in many ways. But some are looking for more teaching and discussion on this matter so that they can live well and, when the time comes, die well! The Alpha Course has been inspirational in bringing many to the beginning of a walk of faith. Because of Alpha, millions world-wide have begun to follow Jesus. But we want to explore, through the Omega Course, ways to help people end their lives in a faith-filled way. A course for both Christians and non- believers. The Bible raises the issue of old age.

  • Still Beating Strong
    [Heart Health] Vol. 17 No. 10 October 2012 Still Beating Strong By Steve Myers, Senior Editor A great deal is asked of the heart, both abstractly and physically. A mere pump, the heart helps push nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood throughout the body and performs this primary task faithfully and rhythmically for decades. It is the very definition of a loyal worker. However, its efficiency, consistency and longevity rely on a healthy cardiovascular system, and this is where people can run into problems over time. Aside from some genetically linked structural and functional issues, the heart is a happy, healthy pumper as long as the blood is flowing freely throughout the body's network of veins and arteries. Any number of situations along this vascular journey can reduce blood flow to the heart and result in heart damage or death. Unfortunately, such problems are common. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, despite a recent decline in heart-related deaths—cardiovascular disease (CVD) death rates declined 31 percent from 1998 to 2008.1 Still, about every 25 seconds, someone has a coronary event, and one person dies of a coronary event each minute, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). To put the disease prevalence in simple prospective, AHA has reported more than one in three adults has some form of CVD. The problem isn't just American. "CVD kills more people worldwide than any other disease," said Stephen Moon, CEO, Provexis and Science in Sport. "Indeed, experts estimate that by the year 2020, nearly 40 percent of all deaths worldwide will be due to CVD, more than twice the percentage of deaths from cancer." The reason why heart disease is so prevalent is the same reason why the heart health product market is huge and still expanding.

  • Navigating the Regulatory Landscape of Marketing Omega-3 Supplements
    July 2013 US$39.00 SPECIAL REPORT Navigating the Regulatory Landscape of Marketing Omega-3 Supplements Given FDA’s reticence to establish an RDI for omega-3s, as well as its antiquated view of inflammation claims, companies are currently walking a nuanced tightrope to communicate the benefits of omega-3s to consumers while avoiding regulatory enforcement action for their product claims. by Todd Harrison and Erin Seder Navigating the Regulatory Landscape of Marketing Omega-3 Supplements by Todd Harrison and Erin Seder mega-3 fatty acid supplementation has a longstanding reputation of improving cardiovascular health, reducing overall inflammation, and O supporting cognitive health and eye function. According to a number of recent studies, it may also help reduce joint stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis, lower depression levels, support prenatal health, reduce the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, and protect against Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and, potentially, cancer. And, according to a market report published by Transparency Market Research, the global omega-3 ingredients demand is expected to cross US$4 billion in 2018, which is an estimated growth of 15 percent from 2013. Considering the significant amount of money and research invested, one would think the dietary supplement industry would have little difficulty navigating the regulatory landscape of marketing omega-3 supplements. However, given FDA’s reticence to establish an RDI for omega-3s, as well as its antiquated view of inflammation claims, companies are currently walking a nuanced tightrope to communicate the benefits of omega-3s to consumers while avoiding regulatory enforcement action for their product claims.
