The local Zeta Lambda chapter of Delta Theta Tau Sorority recently gave monetary donations to numerous community organizations. Profits generated every year during the sorority-sponsored Gift & Hobby Show and its two annual Crop & Craft events are returned to the community in various ways including scholarships to a senior in each of the Shelby County high schools and to a post graduate, and stipends to multiple community organizations.

The Shelby County Library and The Strand Theatre were among the community recipients this year. Veanna Kessler, chairman of the sorority’s philanthropy committee, recently presented checks to Janet Wallace, director of the library, and to The Strand directors Steve Frazee, left, and David Finkel, right.
