Boule call from the International Grand Basileus

Some people let things happen, others make things happen. Well, if you are one to make things happen, you really must attend the 51st Boule, July 19-27, 2006 in Dallas, Texas, at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. Our Biennial National Convention is well beyond the planning stages; in addition to the networking, training and reuniting of sisters, we know there will be opportunities to re-energize, synergize and be an active participant in another chapter of our great sorority’s history.

Dallas is one of the largest producers of women’s fashions in the United States: the city of the Nasher Sculpture Gardens, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas Zoo, the Kalita Humphrey Th eater, and the Sixth Street Museum, as you will experience when you arrive in July. By attending the convention, you enrich not only yourself but also our sorority as a whole.

Our Public Meeting on Sunday, July 23rd promises to be an event that will be long remembered. We will honor our veterans and the victims of Hurricane Katrina, concurrently recognizing the achievements and sacrifi ces of many.

Epsilon Sigma Chapter, the support hosting chapters and the national planning committee are providing countless activities for your enjoyment.

Dallas is the place to be July 19-27, 2006! Take advantage of the online registration at http://www.boule2006.sgrho1922.org. or complete the registration form in this brochure.

Our theme for the conference is “Strategic Vision: Th e Gateway to Excellence.”

I look forward to seeing you in the beautiful city, so don’t miss it!

Sisterly,

Dr. Mynora J. BryantInternational Grand BasileusSigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
