Rev. James Taylor, Sr. delivered a very powerful inspiring message. Following the service, the members assembled for a private torch lighting ceremony. At 4:00 p.m., chapter members and guests gathered for the unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the brick memorial as a culminating activity.

Mayor, Michael-Angelo James read the Proclamation declaring: "May 22, 2022 Delta Zeta Chapter Day" in recognition of 42 years of service in the community.

Ware County School Superintendent, Birt Smith; Center Elementary School Principal, Tyler Bennett; and Center Elementary School Assistant Principal, LaVar Garner gave inspiring words of appreciation to the chapter members for services rendered in the schools.
