This year the Seattle Alumnae Club held its 5th annual literacy walk in Green Lake Park. Over 120 Pi Phis from two collegiate chapters and two alumnae clubs came to spread awareness, donate books, decorate bookplates, and just have fun. In the five years this event has been held, they have collected over 700 books and $1,300 for a total donation count of nearly 1,000 books. By partnering with the local organization Page Ahead, they are able to provide these books to children in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The day is enjoyed by all and has become something to look forward to for alumnae and collegians alike - a time to bring everyone together and do something to help their community all while enjoying a little exercise and some great company.
