While we hate to say good-bye, the summer season has come to a halt and we must gear up for the last four months of the year and for this administration. Please decide which Cluster Retreat you plan to attend and register as soon as possible. The Cluster Retreats are enjoyable, sisterly, and informative events that you will not want to miss. To access online registration, go to www.akacentral.org . As we prepare for fall, remember the words of Pope John XXIII, “ Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do”. We still have work to do sorors, lets finish the race.

Greetings Sorors,
It feels good to be getting back on my feet and I can’t thank the members of Lambda Tau
Omega Chapter enough for your cards, visits, meals and over pouring sisterly love given to
me and my family. You truly overwhelmed me with your support and I am thankful and
humbled by the experience.
Summer Action! The summer picnic was definitely a “HIT” this year. Thank you Sorors
Toni, Rosalind and Sub-committee for putting on a fun filled afternoon with the Kappa’s,
family and friends. I enjoyed myself during my short stay and hope you did too. Kudos also
to Global Poverty, Soror Caletha and committee for collecting school supplies. You have
made it possible for many students to be ready and prepared for the school year as well as
the service you provided at community churches this summer. Standards Chairman Soror
Mary Reeves headed an awesome tasks that was long over do. Our storage area has been
addressed and re-organized. Thank you Soror Mary and committee.
Moving right along, we had fourteen Sorors who attended our Leadership Seminar held in Montreal,
Canada, July 18th-21st . Sorors enjoyed the workshops, the panel discussions, the sight-seeing, the
dining, and the shopping. Sorors also enjoyed “Organization and Planning: Getting The Job Done”

The Final profit as of 8-31-2013 is $29,329.59. This far outpaces any
previous Cotillion profit. Great Job Sorors!!
Previous Miss Prominent Pearl Cotillions
What is significant to note, is the increased % of Profit to Revenue. This is a measurement of how well expenses are managed by the committee. The higher this # the better. One way to look at this
number is .... In 2010, for every dollar of revenue, we kept 20 cents. In 2013 for every dollar of revenue, we kept 34 cents. We are trending in the right direction!
