Potomac Alumnae Chapter (PAC) Major
Events in 2024-2025 - The Board met during the summer to plan imaginative ways to meet, do worthwhile service, have educational events/workshops, and fun social activities. Some 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 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.

December 2024 - Sunday the 8th, we planned a trip to the Holiday Lights at the Morman Temple. We did not expect it
to be so cold. On Sunday the 15th, we had our annual holiday party, this year at Debbie Overly's lovely home in Olney with a delightful lunch. Huge
thank you to Debbie. Our wrapped squirrel gift exchange is always great fun. Sisters again donated many boxes of supplies to the food pantry. Click to
see a picture of the goodies. To see the sisters who attended the party (except Patti Conville who joined by video-link due to knee surgery), click on
picture for a big version or see the one at right. We've had our holiday parties so very many years, so much joy. Hostess Debbie Overly made special
squirrel cookies for attendees. Yummy and cute. See the picture at left. She was highlighted in the Winter Quarterly.
NOTE - $30 support fees are due by December 31st for the current year (July-June), but if you miss the deadline, we will still accept
them. Please send a check to Treasurer Debbie Finch - 8404 Langport Terrace, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 or via PayPal to agdpotomac@gmail.com and be sure
to indicate the "send money to friends" option so we bypass fees.
July or August 2025 - We usually have a final planning meeting no later than early August and plan to have another at a restaurant again this year. Stay tuned on the Facebook, Instagram and Email groups and here for details on date and place closer to the time.
Special Events - We will add additional impromptu social and philanthropy events announced through AGD-PAC Facebook, Instagram and Email Groups as info is available (see below on how to join the groups). For instance, one time we made 75 soft plush "piggy" toys for the sick children at NIH. It was fun and the piggies were so cute (click here to see some). In others, we arranged to hear all about foraging and the organic life or attended a presentation on "suffragettes", Museum Live events, happy hours, "Brookside Holiday Lights", May 30th Founders Dinner-out, and many more. Sisters, please suggest what you particularly want to do -- service op, happy hour, restaurant, movie, game night, watch/play sports, picnic, barbeque, tea/coffee, mall event, home shopping night, opera/play/musical, family event, children's play date, class/demo/workshop, tour, book club, walk/run, nature hike, museum/gallery, potluck, cookie swap, or whatever tickles your fancy. If you think of something, send a group email through AGD-PAC Groups on what you want to do and when, so sisters can join in (see below) or email an officer if you prefer.

February 2025 - As part of our official Week of Service Event, on Wednesday, February 19th, we hosted our annual birthday party at
the Women's Shelter in Rockville. Sisters donated gifts and all the goodies and trimmings of a great birthday party including cake and
ice cream. We provided gift cards for the birthday ladies and scores of small gifts for all the ladies at the shelter. They really loved the
morale-booster. See pictures of some items donated and gift bags at the right. Then throughout February and March, we participated
in various other service activities such as making placemats and valentine cards for seniors.
March 2025 - In addition to the continuing philanthropic efforts, since we are hosting International Reunion Day this year or the 3 alumnae groups
and collegiates, we had planning meetings and IRD prep work to make name tags and put together numerous themed baskets of donated and hand- made items to raffle at IRD with proceeds to the Foundation.

LIFE IS BETTER WITH SISTERS
LIFE IS BETTER WITH SISTERS
Anyone interested in contributing time, items, ideas or funds to PAC is invited to share with us the joy of service and sisterhood. Annual support fees are $30, and since we do not have a collegiate chapter contributing funds to us, they are our only regular income. But you are welcome to come in any case, anytime, always our sister. Support fees or other donations can be sent to PAC's Treasurer, Debbie Finch. You can contact her at purplefinchd@yahoo.com for mailing directions or PayPal method.
Facebook - An easy way to keep up with events as they unfold is to join our Facebook Group - Alpha Gamma Delta Potomac Alumnae Chapter. Just find us in Facebook and ask to join. You will be asked for your name, chapter, initiation year. January 2025, we have 119 Facebook sisters. For questions, email Janice Fisher at jfpfisher@verizon.net.

Email Group - We have our email group on Google Groups. 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. She will set you up and you will receive a Welcome email and immediately start getting the group emails. You may also send emails to the group. It is a great way to stay in touch, totally private, secure, and you get the same postings as through the Facebook Group so you can pick whichever fits you best or sign up for both.
Newsletter - We publish an annual newsletter by September that any sister anywhere can get. See the Newsletter page for details. To get onto the newsletter list, contact Janice Fisher at jfpfisher@verizon.net. Our editor, Patti Conville, also periodically issues supplements through the Email Group, Facebook and Instagram.
Zoom and Regular Meetings - Most of our meetings are regular in-person meetings but a few are Zoom. Meeting information and Zoom links if appliable are published through AGD-PAC's private Facebook, Instagram, and Email Groups discussed above. The type of meeting is indicated for each event above.
IRD - Join us for IRD each April. See information above and as published in the Facebook, Instagram and Email Groups for details as they are finalized. In 2025 AGD-PAC is hosting IRD for the three local alumnae chapters and the collegiates.
Web Site - Check back periodically for information on upcoming events. Because the web site is public, for security purposes, specific details are limited here but can be obtained through the private AGD-PAC groups listed here or from the sister identified for an event, as indicated above by month, or the web manager.
