Talked with my sister-mother for the 1st time in a couple of years. Before that, it was a couple of decades.

Super excited cause she's gonna help us with our reorganizing the House Association!

I have never met our sister but I read her obit in today's AJC. She was born in 1910 and initiated into Gamma Alpha Chapter in 1930.

I thought of this thread earlier this week when I signed on to facebook, and the newest member of my tree friended me and posted on my wall.

I've never met her (in fact, I've never me the three youngest members of my tree), but I thought it was so sweet that she was reaching out!

My daughter was awarded her Girl Scouts Silver Award today at a big banquet and awards ceremony. We had to pick up her folder at the registration table and I noticed that another member of the Western Wayne County Alumnae Club's daughter was also going to be there to get her Silver Award. (Natalie, for those who are familiar with our club). Then I was browsing through the program and saw ANOTHER name that was familiar.. our Treasurer's daughter was ALSO getting her Silver Award. We took a picture of the 3 Alpha Gam moms and our daughters after they'd received their awards. It was very cool. We all knew the others were involved in Girl Scouts too and we talk about Scouts a lot and how much it is like being in a sorority but none of us realized the others were getting their Silvers today too! It was fun

Inspiring our Daughters, Impacting the World!

Getting a Silver Award is a big deal! Congratulations to your little one, AGDee! And congratulations to all three legacies!

Sad to read in the Q that a Gamma Alpha has passed away. I met Anne and her sister Bonnie when we lived in the GA house one summer.

I read in the E-Quarterly that one of my pledge sisters passed away last fall. We pledged the same day, were initiated together, and sat next to one another in Chapter meetings. We exchanged a couple of Christmas cards over the years, but not consistently. When I was in Kansas City in 2001 I had hopes of getting together for an evening, but it didn't come to pass. I looked up her obituary but it didn't give the cause of death.....Lots of memories!

Very sad to get a FB message that a Gamma Tau was killed yesterday in a car accident. Ironically, it was her birthday. Brooke was initiated 1999. I am not sure but I don't think she was married and/or had children.

I only met her a few times; I think she was a senior or had just graduated when I started advising.

Had a housewarming for my new house, and AGDee helped me throw it and AGDLynn came

- so glad to see both of them!

Thank you, AGDee, for being the catalyst for me getting unpacked!

LOVE that a young alumna from my chapter is moving to North Carolina and that I am connecting her with the AGDs that I actually know up there!

Hope she has a wonderful time with the new group - I told her I was a bit jealous because I am in the mood to move somewhere new.

Surrounded by Sisterhood!

(Yea, I know we've got the newer motto!

)

^^^I'll add you to our email list, so you can attend our events by-proxy.

I was just thinking about my sis-mom the other day, but didn't call her because I got busy. She called me tonight & we're going to meet for lunch on Sunday!

And, it kind of makes me chuckle that my sister, who was initiated in 2005, is asking me, initiated in 2009, about how to do officer elections in an alumnae chapter and what AGD Always is.

How fitting that Lynn was the last (before me, of course) to post in this thread, as I read a lovely article in the quarterly about the Kara necklace tonight. What a beautiful soul.
