FOUNDERS DAY 2021 PLANS

The STL Founders Day Committee has reluctantly made the decision to cancel the in-person St. Louis Founder's Day.   As an alternative, the committee encourages you to sign up for the International Founder's Day

  on November 17th. 

 This will be a virtual Founder's Day service that will  be available to all members.   This is a great way to join with sisters all over the world to celebrate.  More details will be coming. 

 

As a part of our annual St. Louis Alumnae Chapter Founder's Day celebration, we honor members who have been initiated 50 years.   Even though we can't celebrate in person, we send congratulations to all the women listed below.
