 Giving Back to Our Community
The New York Capital Chapter has been active in community service for many years. In addition to individual members volunteering their services for a variety of activities, the chapter continues to be dedicated to give back to the community in which the members live.

- walking to raise money at the Walk to End Alzheimer's - Alzheimer's Association (Oct)
- helping to sort and pack food at the Regional Food Bank of Northeast NY (Oct)
