Alpha Mu Chapter of Alpha Pi Chi National Sorority, Inc. sponsored its 56th Cinderella Ball at Wayman Chapel Faith Center located in Hamlet last Friday. The ball was attended by proud family members and friends of the five beautiful young ladies and handsome escorts.
As the beautiful young ladies entered the venue, they were met by their handsome escorts and led to the stage to salute the 2020 Queen, Anilah Michelle David and her escort, Destian Dunn. After the crowning of the new 2024 Queen, June’ Lorraine McNeil, the participants celebrated with a beautiful waltz and grand march throughout the venue. Prior to the Ball, the young ladies participated in numerous social, cultural and educational events throughout the community.
The first activity that involved the young ladies and their moms was February 17. All attendees dressed in their “Sunday Best” for a “Mother/Daughter Tea”, where they were given a history lesson on ‘tea parties’ by chapter member Bernice Sims-Royster. Annie Harden taught the girls and their moms to make beautiful hats that were worn while they sampled different kinds of tea.
March 9, representatives from Richmond County Hospice met with the girls to discuss the importance of volunteerism and community service. At the end of the discussion, the girls presented the representatives with several boxes filled with items donated by their families and chapter members. The boxes contained items that could be useful to family members visiting hospi.
