The Michigan IRD was yesterday and it was very nice! The women from Bowling Green joined us this year too, which was great to see! We did a philanthropy project for the women's shelters in the area. They raffled off a quilt made from T-shirts that the chapters had sent as well as some Alpha Gamma Delta lanyards. The proceeds from the raffle will be given to the Foundation. Congratulations to the women who were presented the Foundation Scholarship Keys! As always, it was great to meet some of the collegians that I correspond with frequently but don't always get to meet. Jane Graf made it again this year.. I don't remember her EVER not being there. Some of you will remember her as the woman who has attended the most Conventions. She is always the last one standing. She had spoken at the Emily H. Butterfield Centennial Memorial service and may have been the last Alpha Gam to see Emily before she passed away. She's such a dedicated Alpha Gam and it's always inspiring to see her there. She is also the woman who organized a reception at the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame when Emily was inducted. She is one of 19 women who wear the Circle of Epsilon Pi and she is truly an inspiration.
During chapter roll, as they announced each of the chapter's that our regular GCers are from, I thought of each of you!
LIEP,
Dee
