I am so excited that
members from the Iota Chapter of Phi Upsilon Omicron have gathered materials
for the Common Thread Group. Each of the
women will receive a tin that will be filled with thread, pins, floss,
scissors, and other sewing notions. I know
that each of the women will be happy to receive their tins.
How do I know
this? Since the group began earlier this
year, each of the women were have been thrilled to receive new supplies. They
have been keen to gather items to take home.
Just thinking
about it brings tears to my eyes. These
small boxes will be treasures to each of the women. Prior to their arrival to
the United States, most of the women have spent decades living in refuge camps.
Some of their children were born in the refugee camps.
Listening to
their stories is humbling.
I look forward to
our first meeting in January of 2014.
