My apologies for my minimal communication this year. As you may know, I am still a working real estate agent in addition to being "Mayor" of our neighborhood of 110 homes, on the board of an animal support group (raising funds for our local shelter), and am currently serving on a task force (that has taken way more time than I ever expected) to change an article of our Sun City Carolina Lakes CC&Rs. Regretfully, with all of this on my plate, Theta got put on the back burner for way longer than I intended.
In case you didn't receive Janice's letter or the email from Laurie, here's the information for this year's luncheon. Hopefully, someone will send me photos to share after it's over.
If you didn't get Janice's letter, you can email me for a pdf copy. Below is Laurie's email.
Dear Theta Sisters-
