Psi B Province Officer Keena Day rallied the SAI members in her area and gave the following report: I wanted you to know about the work we have begun to complete as a province here in Psi B. As you know Nashville lost its symphony center due to the flooding that occurred. We decided that we would put our energy this year behind doing our part to restore the symphony center. The first project we completed was a phone drive for the Symphony on December 4th. Twenty women from four Psi B chapters represented our fraternity and the following message is from Kathleen McCracken, Nashville Symphony Annual Campaign Coordinator: "You twenty women brought in over $2600 for the Symphony's 2010/11 Annual Campaign. Amazing! We're truly grateful for your energy, kindness, and willing spirit."
