A: When attending a What Not to Wear (to Province Convention) party! After a long day going over the planning details for Province Conventions, Council members hosted a get-together for the State officers during the July State Administrative meetings. Clad in all sorts of togs, from exer- cise wear to surgical scrubs to revealing tops and shorts, party-goers flaunted fashions that were clearly out of place for a more formal meeting.

Clothed in pirate’s garb that suggested our found- ers’ fascination with swashbucklers, Ruth Davis won the popular vote for “best dressed.” Angie Martin, who was tastefully attired in a stylish birth- day suit and hat that featured cake and candles, and Christmas-themed Karen Filler were also selected for their unsuitable styles.

Dressed in outfits more fitting for a bike ride, a jog in the park, or ybema just a snooze on the couch, State officers meet the challenge of “What Not to Wear (to Province Convention).”

JOHN Associates Nancy Brumm, Luise Baldin and Kathy Binole enjoy making centerpieces for a local nursing home. The Distinguished Young Women Program helps the girls to be their best selves while it encourages each participant to • Be healthy. • Be involved. • Be studious. • Be ambitious. • Be responsible. This year the Beta Lambda Chapter of Tri Kappa was challenged to be involved in a new community project. One of our own sisters, Sheila Stephens, directs the local Kokomo program and is also in- volved with the state program. It was a great opportunity and honor for our chapter to help during Tri Kappa Week. The Beta Lambda chapter hosted the girls for an evening in February, providing and serving their dinner. In the end, our reward was getting the opportu- nity to meet some outstanding young women. MAKING CENTERPIECES for Mothers’ Day at a local nursing home is a fun project for Karen Derderian.

The Tri Kappas also practiced the proper way to hold a cup out to a passing runner and, after a few tries, became pros! It was exciting and fun to see the hard working runners and to spend time bonding with Tri Kappa sisters.

When asked what she likes best about serving as a Gamma Sigma mem- ber, she replied, “The camaraderie of our chapter makes our chapter unique. Everyone works so well together, whether it is working on projects or simply enjoying each other’s company at our many fund raisers, Chicago shopping trips, style shows, auctions, etc.” Sande also stated, “It is important to all of us to contribute our time as well as scholarship opportunities to our community.” Her favorite project is working at the Bean Shack during The Covered Bridge Festival. On serving an Active member Sande’s advice is to “fulfill your obligations, serve tirelessly on the committees you choose. Be someone everyone can count on.

It is filled with moments, sweet and sad with smiles and with tears, with friendships formed and good times shared and laughter through the years.

A life well-lived is a legacy of joy and pride and pleasure, a loving, lasting memory our grateful hearts will treasure.”
