Message from the President
Delicia C. Wallnofer
Sisters don't need words.
They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles
and frowns and winks-expressions of shocked surprise
and incredulity and disbelief.
Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs-that
can undermine
any tale you're telling.
~Pam Brown
Eighty years have passed since our chapter first began,
and I am sure that these words applied just as much then to
those charter members as they do now to our current members!
Sisterhood is a special bond, one part family, one part
friendship, one part trust, and one part loyalty. As any
older sister can tell you, you cannot wait to get away from
them, and the minute you are, you wish you were right back
with them.
Our chapter embodies the spirit of sisterhood, from the
shared meeting times, to the extended lunches afterward.
From rediscovering our childhood at Convention slumber
parties, and attending the rest of the convention functions.
From the finery of Memorial services, to the grubby work
clothes of a cemetery work day. From the smiles as we give
to our adopted veterans, to the tears as we realize how
blessed we are, knowing that 140 years earlier our Ancestors
were fighting to preserve all that we hold dear and hoping
and praying that someone did for them, what we are now doing
for our veterans.
We are blessed to be tied together in the bonds of
sisterhood. Because not only are we Sisters, we have made
the CHOICE to be sisters. Yes fate has drawn us together as
in biological families, but we have been allowed the choice
to align our families for the generations to come.
I hope that you will choose to join our family!
Delicia C. Wallnofer
President,
Plant City Chapter #1931
