Wowee!
When it rains, it pours!!
This has to be the most exciting couple of weeks this alumni involvement forum has ever seen!
So many alumnae initiates!
I too think that CutiePie2000 is one of the coolest most helpful people around.
Actually, come to think of it, everyone who has been participating in these threads is a real star. You have all had some great words of advice and encouragement. It really means something to those of us who have been working so hard to become alum initiates. We make call after call, send out e-mails, letters and such and often without responses for weeks and months. As you have read from us "seekers" time and time again, it gets discouraging. But, to logon on to GC and see a word of encouragement from one of you to keep trying really helps.
Thank you.
Hopefully, one of these days I will be able to make my grand post "I am have been invited to join ______!!" I'm half tempted to quit school and go back to the US so that I can work on it now!
Ok, I'm just being silly - my education is important to me!
On a related note, I e-mailed the HQ of the group I'm working with and, as I suspected, they don't have an alum association in Britain and they can't tell me about any individual alumnae who live here.
That's a bummer 'cause I was hoping I could maybe hang out with a couple people in the meantime. I mean, I was all but officially invited by the HQ to join "my" org (was given the application, told they would find me a sponsor when I come home etc). Erg! Oh well, good things come to those who wait?
