Dear Sorors, Amicae, Zeta Male Network and Guests of the Atlantic Region:

It is my esteemed pleasure to invite each of you to our 2013 Atlantic Regional Leadership Conference (ARLC). On October 9th through October 13th we will cascade a sea of blue and white in Western New York as we convene at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Buffalo. We will become immersed in workshops

that educate us so that we may go forth and raise the awareness of our community. We will be absorbed in han-dling the business of Zeta. And we will make history as we expand our borders.

Come experience the beauty of Buffalo in autumn and the wonder that is Niagara Falls. Our schedule is packed with enriching and exciting opportunities to grow, network and Build on the Principles of Zeta... In addition to effectuating our business, Thursday’s Opening Program will highlight Scholarship as we honor those who have excelled. Friday, we will culminate the evening by celebrating our Sisterhood and the special Sisterly Love that epitomizes our unique bond. Saturday we will take time to explore the Buffalo/Niagara Falls community and highlight our Community Service with our Z-HOPE Awards and our Regional Z-HOPE Project—“Friends to the Elderly” Program. Come Sunday morning, as we embody Finer Womanhood, prepare to be filled with the spirit at our Inspirational Breakfast.

We will depart with a clearer vision, greater passion and healthier direction as we…Blaze New Paths, thus per-sonifying International Grand Basileus Mary Breaux Wright’s national theme.

On behalf of the Atlantic Region Executive Board—both Zeta and Amicae; Regional Marshal Valerie Hollings- worth; Co-Marshal Charleen Harris Strasner and the ARLC Planning Committee, we request the pleasure of your attendance at the Leadership Conference of the Amazing, the Astounding, the Awesome Atlantic Region.
