Greetings to all of our fellow sisters in the Lake County area! The heart of the Lake County Alumnae Chapter is our sisterhood, our ritual, and our philanthropy. Our chapter takes pride in the great friendships we develop, the support system we provide and the fun activities that we do- all of which enrich our lives.
Whether you’re a returning member, have not yet been involved, or are looking to get back involved, we hope you’ll join us for our first meeting in September. Our September meeting marks the kickoff of our year, and is a great chance to see what our chapter is about and reconnect with sisters.
There are numerous ways to get involved. This year we’ll bring back some of our favorite events- like our holiday potluck, and girl’s night out. Other activities planned for the year include- craft night, game night, the Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run/Walk, and the Arthritis walk in the spring. In addition, there are other ways to be involved. With the group of sisters in our chapter, there is always the opportunity to participate in community service, lunch/dinner dates, or anything else you could think of. There is something for everyone, and we hope you will join us!
In other news, I attended International Convention in June, where I am pleased to announce that we received the Ruby Award for Standards of Excellence, and the Sheaf Award from Foundation!
We are looking forward to this new year, and hope to see many new faces, as well as our returning sisters.
Please see our complete schedule of events on this blog. I encourage you to contact me if you would like to learn more about the chapter or join us at a meeting.
Roses,
Kristina Medina-Hurst
President, Lake County of IL Alumnae Chapter
