Adios, Au Revoir, Farewell,
"arrivederci", Happy Trails
This school year is ending and I too will be
wrapping up my President’s notebook and passing it
on to the capable hands of Stacey Vertin. Stacey has worked side by
side with me throughout the past year and she has several new and fresh ideas
for the upcoming year. I can’t wait to see how the Moms’ Club progresses. I
know it will be fun whatever the new officers present. It has been my honor to
work with and get to know all the women of this club. What I love most about
this group is how easy going everyone has been. It really is about the girls.
And what a special group of girls Tri Delt recruits. They are friends, leaders
and servants to the community. I look forward to seeing you next year at the
Moms’ Club Socials.

Anne Davis
is the daughter of
Leslie Davis of University Park who
has served on the Mothers’ Club
board for the past three years.
"After graduation, Anne will be studying for
the CPA exam this summer and begin working
for KPMG in August. Graduation has been
bittersweet and it will be very hard to move
back to Texas after living in the Alabama
Tri Delta house with my best friends. At a
school where I knew very few, Tri Delta
allowed me to make lifelong friends, and for
that I will always be grateful. Being a Tri
Delta and getting to visit the hospital has
also grown my passion for St. Jude. I look
forward to continuing philanthropic works
and supporting St. Jude whenever possible in
the future."
