A Message from our District President Dear Zeta Sisters, ,FDQ·WEHOLHYH)DOOLV already here. That means celebrating our incredible )RXQGHUV·5DFHIRUWKH Cure, and enjoying the holidays with family, friends, and sisters! Congratulations on re- ceiving Crown Chapter at Convention! I know the alumnae chapter has its sights on achieving a Sil- ver Award, and as District President, I have seen first- hand the commitment to success Inland/Pomona sisters have to Zeta Tau Alpha. As a member of
Inland/Pomona, I invite all of my sisters in the area to reconnect to ZTA and join this fabulous alumnae chapter. ZTA is a sisterhood that truly lasts a lifetime, and I am grateful for all the friendships and opportuni- ties the Fraternity has given me since my very first day as a new mem- ber. I am glad I can give back to such an incredible sisterhood that has given me so much. With continuous in- volvement and dedication,
the Inland/Pomona Alum- nae Chapter is on their way to much more suc- cess, and the alumnae wel- come you to their incredi- ble sisterhood filled with fun and laughter. Keep up the great work ladies!
Zeta Love,
Annamaria Pensavalle Ahern District President, XIX-G Inland/Pomona Alumnae Chapter Member
