PINS
HI All,
Valkyrie - Thanks for the note - Your idea is a good one about 1 pin a year...I have rescued 4 from ebay and one from an antique store...2 of the jeweled pins I rescued I gave away to 2 deserving collegiates and they were thrilled to get them....And it felt really good to do it too! I was going to sell them and recover a few dollars, but in the long run it was more wonderful to give them away!
I saved the first pin I found in an antique store as it was dated 1931 and I just wish I could know it's history. I donated one to our FD auction dated 1932 and a collegiate was excited to win it - the money went to Foundation.
I will do what I can to get pins back to Alpha Phi's...I teach and my school kids love to touch my pin and have even asked to 'have' one because they have an A in their name! And what do I do? I tell the girls that when they get to college they can join a sorority called Alpha Phi!!! I even told that to two little girls who's moms were in AXO and AZD!!!!
OMG - I'm rushing 5-6 year olds!!! LOL
