During the month of May, we proudly continue to show support for our community during Mental Health Awareness Month. 💕💚 The Mental Health Awareness Committee created a more personal message to remind others that it is okay to slow down, breathe, and take time for yourself.

Take a moment to practice breathing and grounding techniques, enjoy a mindful walk, appreciate God’s beautiful green earth, and relax through slow breathing and positive affirmations. In the midst of busy schedules and life’s daily challenges, protecting your peace and mental wellness matters.

Please remember to be kind, extend grace, and love on one another. A small act of compassion can make a lasting impact on someone’s life.

As always, please do not forget to LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT! 💕💚

During the Live After Five event, we turned community presence into civic impact. By meeting people where they already were, we made voter education and voter registration accessible, welcoming, and visible.

Thank you to every Sister, volunteer, and supporter who showed up to serve with excellence and purpose. Your presence helped create meaningful engagement in a fun, community-centered atmosphere.

Today’s impact:

💚💗 Empowering Our Future Leaders Through Financial Literacy! 💗💚

In honor of National Youth Financial Literacy Month, Gamma Eta Omega’s Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) proudly participated in an impactful Financial Boot Camp designed to equip students with essential money management skills. 💰📊

YLI students and committee members engaged in a hands-on, real-world simulation focused on budgeting and saving. One of the highlights of the session was learning the difference between needs vs. wants—a critical foundation for making sound financial decisions. 💡

The Boot Camp session was led by Kimberly Chapman, Assistant Vice President of Financial Wellness at Neighbors Federal Credit Union, and Tonya Lewis, Contact Center Manager at Eagle Federal Credit Union. The workshop began with a fun and interactive icebreaker, “This or That,” where students made real-life financial choices. 🎯

Students were then assigned individual profiles with unique occupations, lifestyles, and responsibilities. Working in groups, they determined their needs and wants based on their assigned scenarios. To bring the experience full circle, students spun a wheel to receive a simulated credit score, which directly impacted their financial outcomes—including debt levels and monthly expenses. 🎡📉

By the end of the boot camp, students evaluated whether they were operating in a financial surplus or deficit—gaining valuable insight into the importance of living within their means and making informed financial choices.
We extend our sincere thanks to our presenters for their time, expertise, and commitment to empowering our YLI students. 🌟
