I love publishing these posts...

If you have tons of pictures and videos lying around either on your computer or in the form of photographs and you don't know what to do with them, contact Shannon...she can help you! Please visit her Rosey Reflections website for more information.

An Angelos Star


Have you all perused the latest copy of The Angelos (Summer 2008)? If you did you may have noticed that on page 28 our own Alpha sister, Lori McGee Eggleston, is one of the featured "Mommy-preneurs"! Lori began her business in an effort to continue as a successful business woman AND stay home to raise her children at the same time. It seems that Lori is doing just that as her online boutique has grown by leaps and bounds. Be sure to check out her Stripes and Polka Dots website.

The Pink Posse Strikes!



A "great job!" goes out to the Pink Posse that is MaryAnn Garces, (Kat Manning Holroyd's aunt), Laura Jones Carlstrom, Tracy Wergley Graebener, Kat Manning Holroyd, Colleen McCrink Margiloff, and April Rose Miller. Together the team raised $19, 311 for the Avon 2-Day Breast Cancer Walk, which was held May 3-4, 2008. From Kat: "One moment we will never forget is when, every three minutes, a random walker was given a sash to show how often women are diagnosed. EVERY THREE MINUTES.... April was presented with one and we were all just speechless at the thought of how random and frequent women are diagnosed."

The Pink Posse team, whose motto is "Strong Hearts...Sore Muscles" certainly came away from the walk sore but most definitely INSPIRED and looking forward to the walk in 2009. The team wants to know if you have it in ya' to join them next year?

Well done, girls!
