Greetings from Louisville, my home away from home! My folks live here, so we spend lots of time in this beautiful city. Last night was a great event at my parents house. We had a fun dinner. My dad was thrilled to play BBQ chef. He was even sporting a Phi Sig Rock-A-Thon T-shirt from my college days.

The games have been amazing! I have met many, many athletes of all ages. They are all so inspiring, I think that now I may have to take up swimming!! I got to be a timer for lane 3 of the swimming event. It was a bit stressful; I didn't want to cheat anyone of the correct time. I now have a new friend from North Carolina, a 72-year-old woman who was a super swimmer!

The women who are representing Phi Sigma Sigma have been the best. All of you not here would be happy with the impression of Phi Sig that they are portraying. They are 'Phi Sigma-anizing' the city! It is rare to see an athlete or supporter of the games not wearing a Phi Sig pin. I feel so fortunate to be part of today's festivities.

A shout out to my fellow SC sisters -- you are greatly missed, and I am thrilled to be representing the board. I do wish you all were here!

LITP,
