December PPA Celebration for Charity
The beneficiaries of the 2012 Phoenix Panhellenic Association Celebration for Charity will be the Circle of Sisterhood Foundation and Teddy Bears for the Phoenix Fire Department.
Circle of Sisterhood: The Circle of Sisterhood is a mechanism by which all sorority women can stand together across affiliation, age, color, and creed to make a difference in the lives of millions of girls and women. We can give others an equal chance for rewarding lives and livelihoods through schooling, the learning of a trade, or even a college degree. We need money donations for the charity and suggest at least $1 per sorority member. Help us make change happen today! Learn more by visiting www.circleofsisterhood.org.
Phoenix Fire Department: Firefighters take these cuddly teddy bear friends with them on emergency calls to give to frightened children. We are looking for bears 12 inches or larger! Please bring these furry critters to the Teddy Bear tea event!

Distracted Driving
The Delta Zeta National Risk Management Committee wants you to know that:
In 2010, more than 3,000 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver
and an estimated additional 416,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes
involving a distracted driver. Eighteen percent of injury crashes in 2010 were
reported as distraction-affected crashes. Eleven percent of all drivers under
age 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time
of the crash. Distracted driving involves more than just cell phone use. It
describes any activity that could divert a person’s attention away from the
primary task of driving – eating and drinking; grooming; using a navigation
system; adjusting a radio, CD player or MP3 player; etc.
For facts and information on this topic to share with others, please
refer to the MJ Insurance handout on cell phone laws and the U.S. Department
of Transportation’s website at www.distraction.gov for current state laws, facts,
statistics and resources. Please take the individual pledge
to end distracted driving, which can also be found on this website.
