The Arlington Parks and Recreation Department would like to extend a huge thank you to Xi Theta OmegaChapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority members.

On Saturday May 21, 2016, as a part of the Chapter's 1908 Playground Mobilization Day, 75-plus members volunteered to host a park beautification project at Bowman Springs Park in Arlington.

The extraordinary group restored the existing wooden fencing and refreshed it with all new paint along the park grounds. They also assisted with trimming brush along the chain linked fencing at the park. For several years now, this core group has assisted parks and recreation staff with various park projects.

The sisterhood of Alpha Kappa Alpha has responded to the world's increasing complexity. It continues to empower communities through exemplary service initiatives and progressive programs.
