AOII Founder's Day

On January 13th we held our annual Founder's Day gathering at Ventano Italian restaurant in Henderson.  

In my opinion this is one of the best gatherings of the year, it brings us together in pin attire (I always love an excuse to dress us).  It allows us to remember our founder's and celebrate the 4 amazing women that started our life changing fraternity. 


To everyone who came thank you. Hope to see you at our next event.

So in the words of Stella George Stern Perry - "Of all the blessings we count over, it seems to me none is greater than the consciousness of belonging to a family of thousands of sisters." -Stella George Stern Perry
