Zeta Phi Chapter
On Nov. 3, members of Zeta Phi Chapter presented Carrie Foley with the Tri Kappa Chooses You award for her cheerful, loving dedication and service to others.
When Carrie founded Silver Linings in 2013 it was a homeless shelter for women and their children.
“Today it continues to offer love and support to women who have challenging lives in our community,” an announcement from Zeta Phi said.
Silver Linings cannot exist without community support from Brown County Community Foundation, St. Vincent de Paul, Tri Kappa and individual donors in our community.
