Sisterly Relations:
Sorors, Please remember your secret soror.
It gives the appearance that we have not
paired sorors correctly. I get the questions
all the time of why a soror is being ignored'?
Do I have a secret soror?
For the summer months, the postal service is
alive and well. Use doorstep drop-off, or get
a friend to deliver your remembrances.
Whatever you choose to do, remember it's
your responsibility to remember your secret
soror!
Sorors, enjoy your summer. Be safe until
were all together again!
