My chapter sponsored one of the young authors in the South Atlantic Region, and another student was the runner-up in his grade level for the South Atlantic Region. I am chair of our Young Authors program. It was a LOT of HARD work, but to see the expressions on the faces of the children and their parents was priceless.
For me, the Young Authors presentation was the highlight of the entire conference. Then at the book signing, the dad kept saying he could not believe all of this was happening. I truly believe that this was a life-altering experience for these children, and the fact that we had students of all races and ethnicities on stage is a tribute to the power of this program.
Tea roses to all the sorors who work to improve the lives of others. We have it going on, y'all.
