Soror MarQuisia Johnson, Basileus
Greetings Sorors,
First, I would like to welcome back all sorors of Tau Rho Omega. Now that we have all hands on deck, we can continue to focus on the great work that we have been called to do. Speaking of that great work, our program initiatives are in full swing. Again, I encourage each soror to sign up for a committee(s). Your gifts and talents are needed to ensure the success of these initiatives. I look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming November chapter meeting. This meeting may be lengthier than normal, since we will be voting on the proposed budget. Thank you in advance for your time, since this discussion is critical so that we can plan properly for the next year. Finally, please join me as we pray for all those sorors with families that have been impacted by Hurricane Ian. We pray for their safety and well being. Until we meet again, take care of yourselves sorors!
Serving With A Smile,

Greetings Tenacious Tau Rho Omega Sorors,
OUR STANDARDS
During the Chapter Retreat, we engaged in an activity to hear the thoughts and perspectives of the members present on different topics of concern. At times, hearing another Soror's perspective can provide clarity and resolution, particularly when the narrative we created about the other Soror or situation is dispelled. Other times, hearing a Soror’s perspective could generate additional questions. Since WE are TRO, it will take all of us to address next steps in the growth process. Please take a moment to complete the form to share your brilliant idea (s) on how to move forward.
TRO ~ Soaring to Greatness in Our Sisterhood (revised link)
The Standards Committee and the Technology Committee will present the newly revised electronic folder system to the Executive Board and committee leaders on November 21st at 6:00 PM. Zoom info TBA soon.
As a friendly reminder on our journey to compliance, we are going to go…go slow…but, go…correctly.
Yours in Sisterly Service,
Soror Courtney J. Washington, 2nd Anti-Basileus
