On 5 May 2013, The Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc hosted “Delta Scholarship & Community Service Awards” program luncheon on at Old Hickory Golf Club in Woodbridge at 1 p.m.
During the program, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc presented Scholarship Awards to area high school seniors and recognized Robe’rt Palmer and the Guide Right Program by presenting “2013 Minerva Awards”. The Awards presented were to acknowledge individuals who have provided tremendous guidance, immeasurable support, and abundant love to so many of our youth.
In Greek mythology, Minerva was the Goddess of Wisdom who presided over useful and ornamental arts, crafts and “A Thousand Great Works”. It is therefore very fitting that we recognize people like Mr. Palmer and his Guide Right committee who have honed their craft of helping young people into an art form. We especially appreciate their contributions and applaud Robe’rt Palmer and the Guide Right Committee for their commitment they have made to continually provide quality life experiences for students.
