Our focus for the region continues to be “Strengthening Our Friendship”. The “Sister-Friend Tea”, campaign consists of local Zeta Chapters and Amicae Auxiliary will sponsor a “Tea” for the purpose of activating, reactivating, reclaiming and recruiting Amicae. The Tea will allow the local Zeta Chapter to be a great support to the Amicae which is a part of being “Friends”. The Eastern Region has also embraced our theme by facilitating the first ever Eastern Regional Zeta/Amicae Necrology Ceremony, Zeta/Amicae Choir as well as regional Amicae Conference calls with the Regional Director, Soror T. Diane Surgeon. Soror Surgeon has worked hard to incorporate comprehensive programming and involvement with the Amicae during the Regional conference workshops and summits. The Eastern Region Amicae were recognized at the Grand Boule 2014 for Chartering and reactivating the most Amicae Auxiliaries within Zeta.
