Greetings to all Merrimack Valley Delta Gammas! 

 

 

If you’re like me, you woke up this morning and started to cry!!  Why is the snow back?  Let’s hope this is Mother Nature’s idea of a late April Fool’s joke!

Come join your MVDG sisters as we drink lattes, chat, and people watch at Starbucks in Chelmsford!  Please RSVP to Kristin at merrimackvalleydg@yahoo.com.  Starbucks is located right off the Drum Hill Rotary in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.  Directions will be posted on the website. 

 

 

Founders Day

 

Founders Day was such a wonderful event!  Many thanks to those who attended, and to those who were unable to attend but made the time to RSVP.  We were sad to not see Dot Mosser, who was such a trooper and waited for hours after her realtor’s exam to join us!  Dot – we hope the exam went well!!

 

We were especially honored to have Anne Kuftinec (Alpha Psi – Mississippi) in attendance to celebrate her fifty year membership.  Members in attendance loved hearing of Anne’s travels and upcoming adventures overseas!  Be sure to tell us all about your trip, Anne!
