munity service is the best way to give back to ti
munity, and as a member of Delta Sigma Thete
ty, she has contributed many hours to the lives c
citizens, especially young people. ___
A native of Rhode Island, Chaplin came |"
jLrum a community wnere a large numoer
of my friends weren't doing anything productive
with their lives." However, she decided
to make a difference, and she became j
involved in community service with vari- J
ous agencies in the Columbia area.
Chaplin has volunteered at the Boy's and
Girl's Clubs of the Midlands and the Epworth
Children's Home, and she has participated
in canned food drives benefitting
the Harvest Hope Food Bank. She also has ^
served as a mentor to children at Webber r
Elementary School. ^
"I really like to do community service r
geared toward the youth," Chaplin said. "I
feel that I can offer an insight to them about
things they might think are impossible."
