I was there -- it was indeed a special experience!

One of the highlights of Convention was being able to participate in the granting of a wish for six-year-old Shelby. The Iota Chapter (Univ. of Texas - Austin) raised the money to make her wish a reality. Shelby wants to be a movie star! With the help of San Antonio News Channel 9 anchor, Alisa Armijo (Theta Zeta Chapter, Univ. of Eastern New Mexico), Shelby starred in a public service announcement for Make-a-Wish.

Following dinner the first night of Convention, we held a premiere for Shelby's commercial. Complete with a red carpet, spotlights, balloons & bubbles...Shelby took the stage to view, for the first time, her commercial. She was then showered with gifts & escorted to the lobby where she signed autographs.

It was indeed a special night for Shelby, her family and all Chi Omegas present. There wasn't a dry eye in the place when Shelby said, "Thank you, Chi Omegas!"
