Each June, mothers attend a meeting to plan activities that provide meaningful experiences in the following categories: 1) Cultural, 2) Educational, 3) Civic, 4) Social, 5) Recreational, 6) Leadership, and 7) Legislative. The Teen Group, under the leadership of Teen Advisors Charlinda Gales and Mary Whitner, plan their own activities. Group Mothers and Teen Advisors ensure that activities are carried out as planned. Activities are later evaluated for their effectiveness.
In addition to the scheduled monthly activities, we participate in Chapter activities as mandated by the National Organization. These include Jack and Jill Day celebrated each September, and National Black Family Day which is celebrated the first Saturday in May.

The Dads are an integral part of the Jack and Jill experience for our children! Some attend their children's monthly program activities, and they can always be seen at Chapter events such as Jack and Jill Day, Black Family Day, the Holiday/Kwanzaa celebration, and the Inducation/End-of-Year Celebration. Delrecole Gales serves as the chair of our hard-working and supportive Father's Auxiliary.
