What did you do for your 100th?

[AGDee]

Here's what I recall offhand:
* Postponed Convention because it was not going to fall on the centennial year and they wanted to have a Convention that year.
* Had a flag made for each chapter and opened Convention with a flag parade with the delegate of each chapter carrying their chapter's flag. The flags are in the University/college's colors and have the chapter name and university/college name on them. Flags for chapters that were resolved were carried by either an alumna from that chapter or someone from near that geographic area.
*Held memorial ceremonies and hung a special medallion at the grave site of each of our 11 Founders
*Published a history book
*Wrote a special Centennial Song, then at Convention, each attendee received a wooden music box that plays that song
*Centennial quilt with a square from each chapter which I believed was pieced together by AGDAlum
*I don't know what you call them but there are fabric banners that hotels/cities post on poles along the street... we had those by the Convention hotel.

Stop throwing that music box in my face!

We still got a long way to go before we hit 100. I'll be about 80 when it happens. LOL.

Yes. I was piecing some scrappy blocks last evening and came across the fabric I used for the setting triangles for that quilt. (It is not unusual for quiltmakers to have fabric from years-ago projects in their stashes.)

For AGD's 75th anniversary (1979) alumnae made needlepoint squares that were pieced into a large wallhanging. And we moved into the "new" HQ building that year. (We sold that building last year to move into much larger quarters.)
