2026 July Chapter Meeting – Celebrate 20 Years with Us! | Mid-Year Anniversary Celebration

06/13/2026 by mconnally

Come celebrate two decades of service, community, and digital storytelling! Whether you’ve been with us since LeRoy Thompson first asked his famous question or you just joined our ranks, we want to celebrate the shared roots and passion that have grown our chapter into what it is today. Join us at our next meeting to share memories, connect with fellow members, and look ahead to the next 20 years of making a difference together.

🍽️ Sign up for the July Potluck Dinner (OPENS IN A NEW TAB) to tell us what dish you’re bringing!

Join the celebration—we can’t wait to see you there!


Help Keep Our Chapter Meeting Snack Table Thriving! 🥨

As our chapter continues to grow, so does our love for sharing a bite together! To keep this welcoming tradition going, we invite you to bring a small snack to share—whether store-bought, homemade, sweet, or savory, every contribution makes our meetings more enjoyable. If you’re able to help out at an upcoming gathering, please sign up below to help us build a more connected community!
