Atlanta Chapter of Continental Societies, Incorporated

President's Message

The Atlanta Chapter of Continental Societies, Inc. is a public service organization dedicated to the socioeconomic and cultural welfare of underprivileged children and youth. The chapter is comprised of committed women of character, conscious & concern for children.

The success of our organization depends directly upon its members – women who volunteer their time, talent and treasure in an effort to fulfill a mission to create environments within our communities that empower children to have access to quality and appropriate opportunities to reach their optimal potential.

History tells us that African American volunteerism emerged out of the joint efforts of shared oppression, a shared sense of destiny and a connected racial unity. The Continental Societies embraces that same connectedness as we act out our motto: “There is a destiny that makes us Sisters, none goes her way alone. All that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own.”

As we strive to serve the needy, we realize that there are many demands for our time in this hurried and sometimes harried world in which we live. In exchange for the time that is given in service through the Continental Societies, Inc., volunteers get the prestige of belonging to an elite group; respect, while doing something useful; companionship and new friends; a more active social life; a greater understanding of people; self-expression and decision making power; an opportunity to practice skills and abilities; professional contacts; new experiences and the personal satisfaction of helping those in need.

If you are interested in becoming a part of this Sisterhood, please contact us at Continental Societies, Inc. - Atlanta, GA Chapter; Membership Chairperson; P. O. Box 310392; Atlanta, GA 31131.

Continentally,

Terry B. Woods
Atlanta Chapter President
