You can tell from this months Energizer that it’s been a very busy month across the state. We are in full swing with golf tournaments, Relay for Life, and Earth Day projects. We had 570 volunteers on more than 45 projects for Earth Day this year. This is incredible!!!
One of the most rewarding things that I’ve done this year has been getting out and seeing chapters other than my home chapter. Most of the rest of the State Board has been doing this as well. It’s been eye opening and very heart warming. I didn’t have a feel for how much actually went on until I was able to see some of it. We have some of the most creative, dedicated, and hard working people that exist. From figuring out ways to raise funds for employees in need, to mentoring students, to cleaning up our rivers, to taking care of the elderly, to cancer walks, we know how to have fun and to give back.
I hope you are proud of what you are doing because I know we are living up to what our first president charged us with….being a “Citizen Wherever We Serve”. And I know that we are helping more people than I think most realize. This is an incredible organization and I think we are all going to be surprised at how much we’ve accomplished at the end of the year.
Thank You for all that you are doing!!

Did You Know ?
The idea of an Educational Loan Fund was presented to the Annual Meeting in 1964 by a recommendation of the Executive Board. The group voted to begin this fund allowing time to accumulate $5,000 before beginning loans. The fund was started with a $1,000 loan from the General Fund of the Women of Georgia Power. The first donation by a local chapter was received from the Columbus Chapter on August 25, Thereafter the chapters made donations until the $5,000 was reached in The first loan was made for fall quarter Loans made in the initial years were 1968 – 2; – 2; 1971 – 6;
1972 – 5; 1073 – 6. The loan amount was $500.
