Congrats on all your recent success!!!
You are an amazing woman! The newspaper report will be awesome PR for you!! Make sure that the shelter will allow them to come. I know that we are not allowed to bring extra people or take any pictures when we volunteer at the local shelter! It is for the security of the women and children there. If you have any questions about AOII, feel free to ask! Check out our international website at
www.alphaomicronpi.org it has some good info and links to chapter sites! GOOD LUCK in you decision. You have narrowed it down to some wonderful organizations. I'm sure it will be a decision that will take lots of thought. I'm sure you will get good response from the NPC groups that you contact. Just remember to be persistant if you don't get a response.
GOOD LUCK!
