“Growth Chapter of the Year Award” -- Plano TX Chapter
The Plano Chapter of ASG won the “Growth Chapter of the Year Award” for the second year
in a row. They ask for our “Secret”. I believe the secret is having so many neighborhood
groups; that we are a small geographical area; and our awesome members. Thank you to all
of our Neighborhood Group leaders, our Chapter Advisory Board, and all or our fabulous
members who are willing to jump in to present programs to the neighborhood groups and
help out when needed.
Welcome to our newest members…

As many of you know, member, Terry Jerden recently lost her husband.
To the Plano Chapter of ASG members,
I want to thank everyone in the Plano Chapter for the beautiful thought behind
the donation for the scholarship for a Fashion Design student at Texas Woman’s
University in memory of my husband, Ody Jerdan. It is truly appreciated and
knowing how much I love sewing, he would have been so honored by this
particular memoriam. Thanks you so much.
