Alpha Sigma Sisters, Welcome back to Alpha Sigma chapter meetings! What a wonderful variety of programs have been planned for your education, inspiration, and encouragement. Alpha Sigma was well represented at the state convention in Austin. Donajean, Mary Jo, Mary, Judy, Paula, Mickey, Gencie and I had a wonderful time and learned many new ideas. We will share the honors earned at our first meeting. In addition, we had chapter members attend the Southwest Regional Conference in Branson in July. Judy, Donajean, Mary Jo, Mary and I represented Texas and Alpha Sigma well. Our first meeting is Saturday, September 7. We will be having an informal tea and a time of sharing and getting to know our new members. Our chapter dues have not increased, and you will need to be prepared to pay Paula by our October meeting. Our new officers took over the leadership of the Texas State Organization on July 1. President Nancy Newtons theme is Expand the Vision: Educate* Inspire* Encourage. Your officers have learned some new ways of accomplishing some of our state requirements. Be looking for new items on our website that will help us achieve our goals. Mark your calendars with the dates on page two so you dont miss a single meeting. RSVP to Paula for our tea by Wednesday, September 4 and remit $10.00. Forward Moving Ever,
