HONORING TWO SPECIAL SISTERS

Lynne Kipp Christianson & Margaret “Polly” Shook Cummings

Last year, the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter mourned the passing of two longtime members, Polly Cummings (Alpha Beta) and Lynne Christianson (Alpha Psi). Lynne and Polly helped shape our chapter through their decades of dedicated involvement. They are missed. They will be forever in our hearts. This year, we wish to honor the memory of these special women by funding two Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation Recognition Scholarships in their names. The chapter’s contribution commitment for each scholarship is $1400. Individuals wishing to make a contribution toward these scholarships may send checks payable to Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation to: Janet King, Attn: ZTAF Recognition Scholarships, 1822 Sumter Ridge Ct., Chesterfield, MO 63017. Contributions also may be brought to any of our alumnae chapter events this year. As she reflected on her life in Zeta Tau Alpha, Lynne shared these words: “I loved every minute of it and I love all my dear sisters, young and older, who have supported me and gave me courage during all my illnesses. Many think sororities are just social, fun-loving organizations. They do not see the way we serve God and humanity. I am proud to be a Zeta.” ZETA IS FOREVER. -----
