October Is ...
We Continue to Find Ways to Keep Our Friendship Strong ...
This year's Black Family Wellness Expo was a success in large part to the assistance of the pastor and congregation of St. Stephen's AME Church in Hardeeville, SC. What better way for the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated to show their appreciation than by attending morning worship with them, presenting them with a plaque, and a small donation. Thank you Pastor Vanessa Johnson for all of your help and your truly inspiring sermon!
After the service, several chapter sisters got together at a local restaurant for good times and fellowship.
Our sisters wore their HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) tee shirts, caps, and colors proudly at our first chapter meeting of the year!!
And Serve Our Communities Through Transformational Programming
Walk For Healthy Living
The Health and Human Services facet planned a a wonderful beach walk year's Walk For Healthy Living event but because of the storm, chapter members did their own walks and clocked in their time. Even pets got involved!
"Rising Stars" - Umbrella Program
The first session of our Umbrella Program - "Rising Stars" at Polaris Tech was kicked off for this semester! The Services To Youth facet conducted a workshop on communication through body language. The students took turns acting out an emotion for the other students to identify. All the students actively participated. The session ended by sharing a welcome back cake. Many thanks to the members who participated in person.
Link Up The Vote
Keeping with the spirit of National Voter Registration Day, the National Trends and Services facet of the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated spent the day registering young first time voters from the University of South Carolina Beaufort's (USCB) Bluffton Campus in partnership with the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Office of Student Life (OSL). Thirty-five (35) students were registered and treated to a "Float for a Vote" sponsored by the SGA and OSL. We thank USCB with partnering with us to "Link Up The Vote!"
