Note from your President Dear Sisters, On behalf of your officers, I am pleased to present our 2018-2019 schedule (page 2). We used your survey feedback to develop a diverse set of events, and we hope you will attend as many as possible. Being selected as our national Alumnae Chapter of the Year exceeded our expectations, and it wouldn’t have happened with-out all of you—our members who participate and contribute. Seeing sister Susie Fink Kuhn awarded the Steadfast Alumna Award added to the excitement this last year. In light of our success, our objectives will re-main the same next year: • Increase our membership • Be good stewards of our money • Support the Foundation Sigma Love, Nancy Sauer Mann
