Locally, the Detroit East Delta Gamma Alumnae Association conducts over 50 hours of annual preschool vision screening and fundraisers that contribute to the Delta Gamma Foundation and local organizations which provide services to aid the blind and sight conservation.

VISION SCREENING

Detroit East DGs continue to “Do Good” in our neighborhood preschools by conducting vision screening with four-year-old children. If you’ve never screened before, training will be provided (it’s quite easy!). Exact dates, times, and places are available by contacting Carrie Calcaterra at carriecalc@comcast.net. Thanks to all who graciously volunteer in this meaningful endeavor.
