MacArthur Park Lutheran Church member Blair Ortmann spoke at the April 30 Delta Kappa Gamma International Society San Antonio Coordinating Council Founders’ Day Celebration Tea.  Ortmann is the Donor Relations Manager for SAMMinistries, whose mission is to help the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless attain self-sufficiency by providing, with dignity and compassion, shelter, housing and services. She focuses on connecting donors with opportunities to impact homeless families in San Antonio through gifts of time, treasure and talents.

Many Mac Park members have interesting collections.  Cheryl Nickles has 72 clocks and more than 50 watches in her collection.  Bjorn Dybdahl has collected over 60 wristwatches.  Jim Price has a collection of basset hound stuffed animals, books, figures and mugs.
