Forming Madison D Phi E AA
 

If any of you ladies are in the Madison area, please contact me... we are trying to establish an Alumnae Association, and we would love to have even more girls involved!!

:)

P.S. That's Madison, WI, for those of you who don't know.

Dana,
I am attending an anniversary celebration at St. Norbert/Beta Chi in a few weeks--I will spread the word while I am there.

Thank you Heather!! :)

UPDATE!
 

We've formed!!

The South Central Wisconsin Alumnae Association (or SCWAA for short) was formed earlier this year with six ladies. We are really excited. Though we are still in our infancy, we are busy getting ourselves involved in the community as much as possible...Plus, we are planning to partner with CFF to have a Sixty Five Roses Gala.

Plus, we have grown since our inception... we now are seven women strong!! Yay!!

Our next social event is tomorrow. We are getting together for dinner locally here in Madison.

How exciting!! Now I have something to look forward to when I move back to Wisconsin!!! Good luck with everything!

ETA: I sent the link to your website out on the Beta Chi chapter alumnae listserve--hopefully there will be some more interest!

I just wanted to say thank you for supporting the CF Foundation. I have CF, and I have to say, without the CFF to procure research grants, recruit volunteers, and spread awareness of CF, I am not sure that there would be the number and depth of strides made in genetic research and concrurrent therapies to prolong and improve the lives of people with CF.

When I was diagnosed at 1 year of age, my parents were told that I would be lucky to see 5 years old. Then it became 10 years. Then 18...
I am proud to say that I am an old lady now (lol, 35 11/12). Still below the "median life expectancy". I can't wait until I pass that number...but every year it goes up!

Thank you once again, and please do share your commitment to fundraising and/or awareness with the CFF and your local newspapers in terms of Press Releases. Include your University and your HQ on your press list. You are doing something wonderful here, and deserve recognition.

Thanks - Are you planning to come back soon?? :-)

You're welcome! :-)

We also enjoy the CF walk every year... hoping to gather a larger team for 2008!! :-)

It will probably be abour 6 years before we move back... which is not soon enough for me! :o

Well... definitely keep us in mind... Hopefully I'll still be here in 6 years. I keep telling my husband I want to move back east!! I miss NY! :)
