October 19, Dinner Reception
This informal gathering is a fun opportunity to spend time with sisters of all ages (collegians from SLU and Wash U will be there, as well as alums), as well as a chance to meet and ask questions of our newly elected International President, Annabel Jones and NPC Delegate, Sandy Burba. There will be casual finger food and an opportunity to see the amazing restoration of this historic St. Louis building.
There is no charge to attend, but to add a charitable note, we are helping BigBrothers/BigSisters provide needed items to a deserving mother and daughter. When you respond to Teri, she will share their wish list and we are sure you will be inspired to bring something for them.
