                                            appy New Year Sorors,
                                            2018 promises to be an exciting year and full of op-
                                            portunities for us to serve our community.  I look
                                            forward to working with each of you individually
                                            and collectively as we move the bar just a little bit
                                            higher.  Together we can continue to meet the
          needs of our community and provide superior service to the River Region.

          Although we did not meet in December, it does not mean that work was not being        Inside The Torch
          done.  Committees continued to strategize and plan throughout the month.  The Fund-
          raising committee ensured a festive atmosphere for the season with A Crimson and     Eight Decades of    2
                                                                                               Sisterhood and
          Cream Affair.  The Founders Day committee has worked hard to prepare a unique, yet   Success—Decade
          befitting tribute to our Founders.  If you have not yet committed to support the efforts   Five
          of the committee, please reach out and secure a ticket as we rededicate ourselves to   MLK Day of Ser-   3
          the sisterhood and salute the twenty-two women responsible for  its founding.  The   vicee
          Community Outreach committee has collaborated with Mid-Alabama Coalition for the     Monthly Health      5
          Homeless for the chapter’s MLK Day of Service.  Please commit to donate cold weather   Topic—Heart
          and personal hygiene items to support this effort.  The Signature Programs committee   Health
          continues to commit time to engage our youth in new and exciting endeavors.  Janu-   MAC Treasurer’s     6
          ary’s meeting will focus on STEM activities. Do you want to know why there is an over-  Corner
          crowding issue in Alabama’s prison system and its implications?  Commit to attend and   Courtesies &     7
          bring someone to a session sponsored by the Political Awareness and Involvement com-  Birthdays
          mittee to get the answers.  As you see we did not meet, but we never stopped working.    Upcoming Events   8

          We ended 2017 with many successes as a chapter and it is because of the hard work,
          selfless contributions and support of our members.   I ask that you continue to cheerful-
          ly and sisterly support the endeavors of the chapter as we fulfill the mission of our or-
          ganization.  If time has not permitted you to actively participate, I ask that you resolve
          to select a program or event and commit to making it the most IMPACTFUL program or
          event possible.

          I will end as I began by wishing each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!   May 2018 bring the
          best of all things to you and your family!

          Committed to IMPACTFUL Service,
                                                                                            Special points of interest:
