Potomac Alumnae Chapter (PAC) Major
Events in 2025-2026 - The Board met during the summer to plan imaginative ways to meet, do worthwhile service, have educational events/workshops, and fun social activities. A few are virtual events plus creative ways to do altruistic work, and many are safe in-person events. Up-to-the-minute details are posted on our social media PAC email group and Facebook group and Instagram group (see below on how to join these groups to get the latest info on upcoming events and new ones as they pop up). You can also email Janice Fisher at jfpfisher@verizon.net for more details. To see a recap of our events from last year and pictures, click here.

September 2025 - On Monday, the 8th, we had our first Lunch Bunch event at Not Your Average Joe's in Rockville. Since it was a busy month for many sisters, several group
get-togethers were planned during the month so sisters could get together when they could.
October 2025 - On Saturday, the 18th, we had a unique Alpha Gamma Always. To start, we had a creative event
at Hammer and Stain in Rockville, then followed with lunch at Tapas Grill, both pictured at the right.
November 2025 - On Monday, the 10th, we had another Lunch Brunch together.
In addition, several area alums participated in the Initiation of Nu Epsilon Chapter in
Winchester, Virginia and associated events on 8-9 November. Alexandra Pogany was
our representative and participated throughout the event and Feast of Roses.
Note: $30 support fees are due by December 31st for the current year (June-June). But
if you miss the deadline, we still accept them. Please send a check to Treasurer Debbie
Finch - 8404 Langport Terrace, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 or via PayPal to adgpotomac@gmail.com and indicate the "send to friends" option so we bypass
fees.
December 2025-January 2026 - Our annual holiday party, at Patti Conville's lovely
home, was moved to Sunday 4 January, 2026, due to snow. We had a delightful lunch
that great-cook Patti provides, and ever-anticipated wrapped squirrel gift exchange, which
is always great fun. See the sisters who stay to the very end. We've had or holiday parties so
very many years, so much fun and fabulous sisterhood.
Sisters again donated boxes of supplies to the food pantry. See the picture at far right of the
goodies packed in Colette's car for delivery.
On January 19th, we had another lunch bunch at Cracker Barrel, Montgomery Mall. Sisterhood, fun, and donations too.
Finally, iIn January, nominations are also gathered for officers for the coming year,
who are installed in May. We are always looking for new sister officers to bring new
ideas and enthusiasm to spice up our wonderful sisterhood.

Any sister who wishes to be added and get periodic emails with details about upcoming events, just email Janice Fisher at jfpfisher@verizon.net and tell her your name, chapter, initiation year, and the email at which you wish to receive the group emails.
