Fairfax Xi Lambda Beta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met for a December meeting at the home of Tonya Oswald, Fairfax. Teresa Morehouse, Victim Advocate and Resource Advisor of C.A.R.E., Community Advocacy and Resource Empower of Atchison County, presented a program on general information on the workings of emergency shelter and services provided by C.A.R.E. of Atchison County, Inc. for both physical and mental abuse of women.

Following the program, Xi Lambda Beta presented Teresa with a $300 check for general use for the center. Following the program refreshments were served before a short meeting. Xi Lambda members were appreciative of the community’s support of their fresh Christmas greenery sales. They use those proceeds to give back to area projects.
