Omicron Sigma at-Large Chapter

Hello Members, Omicron Sigma at-Large is having our annual Adopt-a-Family Holiday event through Catholic Charities of Albany. If you would like to participate by buying a gift for an individual on our list, please contact me for the list of gifts requested. We are also happily accepting checks (payable to Omicron-Sigma at-Large) and our Sigma elves will shop for you. Better yet, sending a gift card is another way to spread holiday cheer to this individual! Checks and gift cards can be sent to me at the address below. All gifts should be wrapped, tagged and dropped off to myself or to Kathleen Curtin at Maria College Nursing Dept. 3rd floor McAuley Building, by noon on December 11, 2024.
