Wise), the first elected Black female Circuit Judge in Jackson in 1998 (Soror Tomie T.

In February 1949, Alpha Delta Zeta Chapter initiated its first Dental Health Program during the presidency of Soror Mable Roseman Sims. Dr. Mavis Jones, first woman dentist in the State of Mississippi, was consultant and dentist for the project. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons were designated as “Children’s Day”. The project was made possible from funds raised through the “Zeta’s Blue Revue”.  The local chapter has hosted its Blue Revue in April 2004. On March 13, 1976, the local chapter initiated the Stork’s Nest at Mary C. Jones Neighborhood Community Center on Whitfield Mills Road, with Soror Forestine Robinson, chairperson; Soror Jessie Bishop, co-chairperson; and Soror Rosie Thompson, Basileus. In January 2003, the local chapter relocated its Stork’s Nest in the Jackson Medical Mall (Suite 3130) under the auspice of Soror Barnie A. McGee, Basileus. In January 2004, under the foresight of Soror Barnie A. McGee, Basileus, Alpha Delta Zeta Chapter went global by launching its website. (www.adz1938.org)
