Our 81st Central Regional Conference 2015 is just around the corner. This year’s conference will be held 4/16

through 4/19 in Louisville, KY. In addition to Sorors Reed, McCreary, Hill, Lewis Weaver, and Harvey, chosen

delegates are Sorors Veneeta Phelps, Joyce Duke, Vanessa Byrd, Marva Campbell Pruitt, and Jeanette Rogers.

Alternates chosen at our last meeting are Meesha Townsen, Tiffany Wicks, Judy Rush, Darcelle Dieudonne,

Marilyn Hamb, Muriel Lee, Toni A.J., Audrey McFarlin, Kristin Hamb, and Joyce Nelson.

If you are interested in working as a workshop facilitator/recorder or would like to participate on other regional

committees, please complete the form located in the CRC registration booklet.

Chapters are asked to donate book bags at CRC as part of the ‘AKA One Million Book bag Program”. These will

be collected on Thursday through Saturday of the conference.

Since only a few Sorors indicated that they would support a chapter bus to CRC, the Conference committee won’t

pursue bus rental. However, I have received flyers from Theta Rho Omega and Xi Nu Omega. Both chapters are

chartering busses.

On 2/25, Soror Toya Harvey, participated in a panel discussion at Governors’ State

University. We as a chapter want to make our presence known on this campus. Kudos

to Soror Toya for her contribution to this discussion.

Our chapter scrapbooks were forwarded on 3/2. I thank Soror Tiffany Wicks for all of

her hard work in this endeavor all Sorors who helped to prepare pages.

The LTO Technology Committee, and I attended a webinar presented by the

International Technology Committee, which will help us prepare for our website

evaluation on 4/1. Our committee is reviewing our site to make sure we are in

compliance. A photo release form must be completed for all who appear on our

website – Sorors, mentees, and others.

Thanks to those Sorors who represented LTO at the Society of Mannequins Luncheon

on 3/1. Congratulations to Soror Marva Campbell Pruitt who was named as one of the

“Best Dressed African-American Women of Chicago for 2015.

I’m still looking for presenters for Huth Jr. High’s Career Fair on 4/16. If you are not

attending CRC, please volunteer. Kudos to Sorors Sharlean Gettings and Angela

Bailey who have already agreed to participate.

Congratulations to our new EAF Chapter Representative, Soror Sharon Cruse

Armstead and our new Joint Founders’ Representative, Mary Reaves.

Sisterly,

Jan Reed, Basileus

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom:

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and

hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts

to the Lord.

Colossians 3-16-3

As we move towards the Easter season

Let us move into the hands of God, trusting it shall be a

month of elevation, glory, promotion, perfection, completeness,

and the fullness of the Spirit of God.
