The Blue and White family was proudly on display at Delta's Restaurant, 19 Dennis St, New Brunswick, NJ for the Lambda Lambda Sigma Chapter's 6th Annual SIGMA suit drive. Held on June 10, 2010, the Annual event donates all collectible items to UIH, Family Partners of Trenton, NJ; a state funded program that provides job training, retention services and computer training to non-custodial fathers in the Mercer County area. Strengthening, preparing and uplifting the self esteem of each father are some of the primary goals of the program. Each father gains the valuable skills necessary to seek and maintain meaningful employment. UIH increases each father's ability to care for themselves and their children, along with obtaining valuable skills in how to appropriately dress for that traditional job interview.

 

LLS received an outpouring of support that day. Donated were 87 suits, 22 sports jackets, 20 slacks, 8 shirts and 42 ties.

 

Brother Jean Lamothe of LLS, and current Director of Education for the Eastern Region emphasized that "the event encompasses all three of our program objectives: BBB, Social Action and Education, so it was a natural fit."

 

Delta's restaurant served as the host of the annual event providing drink and food specials along with 3 different varieties of scrumptious wings, just right for the occasion.

 

To date LLS has donated in total to UIH, 233 suits, 115 blazers, 107 slacks and 323 ties. It is still not to late to donate items. Please contact Bro Tyrone Williams @ tytheone1@yahoo.com or Bro Jean Lamothe @ bluejet88@yahoo.com.
