Ritual and Dessert Night

We always enjoy our April meeting when we install our new officers.  This year was no exception, even with the heavy rain and flooding going on outside!  In addition to officially welcoming our new alumnae chapter leaders, we shared a memorial for Margaret and celebrated Jeanne C.'s 50th anniversary!  It was a very special evening on several levels.  We're getting excited about the Arthritis Walks coming up and had a great time chatting about all of the fun things we're looking forward to at convention in June!

Family Bowling Night 2013

We gathered our families and headed to Fox Bowl in Wheaton for a night of bowling with each other and our families.  We had a great time, and we loved seeing how much everyone's kids have grown!  Thank you to everyone who joined us!  We're definitely going to do this again!
