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.
