SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
In an effort to help local students suc
ceed academically, the Phi Omega
Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc.
delivered school supplies to Carver High
School on Sept. 13.
Standard mode of dress (SMOD) poli
cies have been implemented in some
schools; therefore, clothing, along with
school supplies were donated to Mineral
Springs Middle School to assist school
administrators and parents in meeting stu
dents' needs. On Sept. 20, Konnoak
Elementary School received its delivery
of toiletries and school supplies.
Some members of the Community
Outreach Committee of Phi Omega
Chapter made the deliveries and were
graciously received by appreciative staff
members at the three schools. Many of
the committee members are retired edu
cators, so meeting the needs of students is
dear to their hearts. An ongoing project
of the Chapter is collecting "Box Tops for
Education" from popular common prod
ucts to benefit Kimberley Park
Elementary School. Alpha Kappa Alpha
has a long-standing history of supporting
education.

Former resident Heidi
Haas of Salisbury stayed at the
Family House at a very diffi
cult time in her life last year
when her father, Roger, was in
the Forsyth Medical Center
Neurological Intensive Care
Unit. She stayed in the city for
more than a month to be with
him. She stayed at a hotel until
she met a Family House vol
unteer.
Haas said the staff, volun
teers and other residents at the
House gave her love and sup
port at in her darkest hour.
"While I was here at the
Family House, so many peo
ple encouraged me, and
hugged me and said hello,
'How are you today?'" said
Haas, whose father passed
away in December. "It was
just a very loving environ
ment, very peaceful, very
serene. It was like a jewel you
find in the desert underneath
the sand because I would've
never had that experience in
the hotel where I was staying."
A small staff and more
than 70 regular volunteers
keep the House in order. They
clean, do laundry and prepare
special meals and snacks for
the families there. Melissa
Rosebrock is a regular week
end volunteer who has done
everything at the House from
cooking to landscaping.
Providing support for resi
dents is a duty she embraces
wholeheartedly.
"I've been in their shoes,"
she said. "I think that's why
most people volunteer here is
because at some point in our
lives we've all been in their
shoes, having to tend or care
for someone who's sick out of
town or few a loved one in the
hospital. We've all slept on
waiting room chairs."
