Like I said before, it depends on where you are located. The Link chapters that I know of are filled with a bunch of women from the late 50's -80's. Why would any young person in their twenties and thirties want to be involved with that age group? It is too big of an age gap. That's good that you are in a chapter that is actually doing something.

I'm a Link in my 30s. My chapter membership ranges from the 30s to late 70s.

I firmly believe that part of the maturation process is understanding that knowledge, fellowship, sisterhood, and networking can take place across all age groups.

I appreciate that you see the reasons for joining. I plan of taking part in my later years (30s, not too far away, haha). The company of older women and the mere humbleness that comes from understanding the lives they have led (and still are!) is simply precious. I know many Links, and I liken them to the top networking and progressive social organizations in the country.
