A Compliment From Our Regional Alumnae Specialist

I received the following email from our Regional Alumnae Specialist and wanted to share with all of you so that you know that all of your efforts do not go unnoticed:

Dear Ashley:
I am preparing the alumnae review for EO and wanted to tell your alumnae what a wonderful profile and activities you present.Salt Lake City alumnae have such strengths and your collumnae activities sound so engaging.You show and increase in membership over the biennium from 37 to 43.Wonderful! ***If your 50 year members pay their local dues to your SLC group they may be counted as long as their names are sent to EO. If this is your situation,will you be able to get that information to EO rather quickly?Really, next year or next convention you should consider nominating your chapter for the outstanding chapter award.Thank you and congratulations again!
ITB

A DG's Book



I was just emailed the following email and just thought that I would share incase anyone is looking for a book to read (and support another DG):

Hi Ashley, I'm a 1991 alum from UC Berkeley (Gamma), and I just published a romantic comedy! It's called "Perfect on Paper," and it's about a single woman in San Francisco whose life is hardly perfect. I like to say the target audience is any woman who has ever had a really bad date or realized halfway through the work day that her skirt is on backwards.
Thank you Ashley-- and ITB!
