Capital Woods Playground Clean-Up by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

On Saturday March 21, 2016, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. local chapter, Delta Mu Omega (serving the Capital District for over 47 years), partnered with the Albany Housing Authority to restore, refresh and revitalize the playground at our Capital Woods property.  We provided the tools and equipment, while they provided the labor!  Saturday was 1908 Playground Mobilization Day for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and its chapters all over the world.  Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded in 1908 on the principles of “Service to All Mankind” and ​understands that helping children engage in play contributes to success in school and beyond. Therefore, from 2014 to 2018 the membership aims to Restore, Refresh and ​R​evitalize 1,908 playgrounds around the world​ to ensure safe and fun places for children to play!   (For more information about Alpha Kappa Alpha and the Delta Mu Omega Chapter, please visit www.akadeltamuomega.com)
