Went to the Alum Meeting!

[AGDAlum]

I went to the Chicago NW Suburban Alumnae Club meeting last night! I haven't been active with the group because my P.E.O. chapter meets the same night and because most CNWSAC members live 20 to 25 miles away from where I live making it quite a drive. I skip P.E.O. in order to go to the AGD salad supper, once a year. Despite my inactivity, people remembered and welcomed me. How nice that was!

CNWSAC is an active group with a long-running philanthropy (the Kirk School for developmentally disabled kids). They participate in the annual Ron Santo Run for Diabetes. They also participate in the Chicago NW Suburban Alumnae Panhellenic which sponsors two fundraising events for scholarships.

CNWSAC hopes to adopt a collegiate chapter this fall. (The two closest, Sigma and Beta Epsilon, have been adopted by other Chicagoland alum clubs.) As the group talked about what they could do for a chapter several hundred miles away, I suggested we become e-pals -- pairing alums with collegians. Sounds like a plan!
