On August 8, 2025, members of the Tau Kappa at Large Chapter served dinner for the clients of the Ronald McDonald House of Albany. The event was a tremendous success! 💜
Management and volunteers expressed deep gratitude, emphasizing how vital community service events like this dinner are in supporting families with children facing significant medical challenges.
Beyond giving back, the evening provided a wonderful opportunity for our members to connect—sharing laughter, conversation, and building stronger bonds. Some members even traveled 1 to 2½ hours to be part of this special effort!
We are already considering a return visit next year and encourage other chapters to support their local Ronald McDonald House—there is always a need, and the impact is truly meaningful. 💫
