Shamrock Fundraiser

Senior Sales Director with Mary Kay Nicole Laningham Fountain is having a Shamrock Fundraising Extravaganza during the month of March. When you place an order through Nicole during the month of March 40% of all proceeds will go directly towards the prevention of child abuse. She will be splitting the money raised between our local philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse Virginia (80%) and our national philanthropy, Kappa Delta Foundation Children in Need Fund (20%).

And In The "Still Expecting" Department...

Were there seriously no babies born since the last updates in November?? Below are some expectant KDs...

Brian and Karen Smith Raugh are expecting any day now (due date March 3rd) their second child, a boy. First child Cameron is totally excited about being the "Big Sister"!

Jeff and Denise Braswell Feagans are hoping to travel to China on March 27th to meet and bring home their daughter, Maggie Mae. (Actually, I think Jeff has the honor of staying behind with their three boys while Denise will travel with a girlfriend). You can keep up with their journey at Love Keeps Growing More Love.

Paul and Mandy Mylum Lawler are anxiously awaiting baby #3, a boy, expected around April 23rd--although Mandy is keeping her fingers crossed for a slightly earlier date!

Tom and Lori McGee Eggleston are also waiting on an April baby. This will be their second, after daughter Mallory.

Derek and Wendy Baer McMillian are awaiting baby #2 in May. Their daughter, Barit, is sure to be a big help to mom!

A special "CONGRATULATIONS" goes to Tony and Eileen O'Connor Boone on the upcoming birth of their first child, a son. The baby is due August 8th (8/8/08!). This is a special blessing as Eileen and Tony have struggled with infertility for the past 3+ years and amazingly, this pregnancy was conceived "au naturale"!!

I can't wait to post the news and pictures of all of the new sons and daughters!

A Star Among Us!

Congratulations and a BIG WOW! go out to Kim Kenworthy Egbert. She just auditioned for the choir that will be singing for the Pope (yes, THAT Pope!) in DC in April and MADE IT!!! What an honor and a thrill, I'm sure. Next stop...American Idol!!

On top of that great and distinct news, Kim also just landed a job as Grad School Associate Professor for the College of Notre Dame of Maryland (in addition to her full time job as a high school teacher).

Really, Kim, shouldn't you be doing something with your life???

Finally, A Personal Shopper!

Areina Bruce Hensley wanted to share with everyone that her daughter, Jordan, took the car on February 19th to do the grocery shopping on her own!! In Areina's own words, it "felt really good as I would rather clean toilets than go to the grocery store." Here, here!

On a slightly more serious note, Areina is looking for a year 2000+, safe, economical, low mileage used car for Jordan...surely so that she can do more shopping for Areina! If anyone is selling (Areina is in the Chesterfield area), please let her know. Her email address is areina@capitalone.com.

Chapter Advisory Board Members Needed

Jennifer Vernon Fulk and Wendy Baer McMillian, chapter advisors for Alpha, are looking for additional advisors. If you are interested and would like more information please contact Jennifer at kjfulk@comcast.net or Wendy at wendy.mcmillian@gmail.com.

Laura's Fight Continues...

Please continue your thoughts and prayers for Laura Doudera in her fight against cancer. Laura has endured so much in the past year + and after months of surgeries and chemo treatments, her scans in November revealed no new cancer and no complications. However, scans performed on February 18th showed a new spot on Laura's liver and a small concern on her lung. She is scheduled for additional Pet Scans on February 27th.

Goin' To The Chapel...

Congratulations to Whitney Light and her boyfriend...now fiance! Paul proposed last December and a wedding for October 18th in Richmond is planned. Whitney's proposal story was pretty impressive. Basically, Paul orchestrated a huge production with the help of his Purdue Dance Company pals and took Whitney by complete surprise! Way to go, Paul!
