    Southern Area GREEN PAGES UnitingUniting thethe SouthernSouthern AreaArea throughthrough hobbies,hobbies, interestsinterests andand professionsprofessions Established 2012 Greetings Link Sisters, With the original launch of The Green Pages in 2012, the Southern Area of The Links, Incorporated introduced a new avenue for linking friendship and service. Under the administration of our 18th Southern Area Director Link Eneid Francis, the document served as an exciting resource guide designed to enhance membership throughout the Area. This digitally based document, housed on the Southern Area website in the “Members Only” section, is an intra-organizational resource restricted to, and accessible only by Links. It not only includes the profession and businesses of the Southern Area members listed, but also allows members to further connect by sharing hobbies and special interests. Our bonds of friendship have no doubt increased as we discover Link Sisters across the Southern Area with similar interests. With the Green Pages, we have the means to reach Link Sisters with the knowledge and expertise we seek not only in designing and implementing our programming that has continuously transformed our respective communities, but also in our personal lives. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your Link Sisters. They are looking forward to hearing from you. Collectively we are stronger, smarter and undeniably united as agents of change. Our current Communications team is working diligently on updating the document to an online library enabling real time updates. In the interim, we wanted you to get reacquainted with the Green Pages in preparation for our 2020 debut. Thank you in advance for your contributions to this historic document and online resource as we continue demonstrating Collective Excellence: Elevating ur Friendship, Enriching Our Service.
