GoldenGlimpses We’re breaking ground for the Sigma Sigma Sigma National Sorority and Foundation National Headquarters November 21, 2013

Groundbreaking Ceremony On-Site at Tri Sigma National Headquarters 207 N. Muhlenberg Street Woodstock, VA 22664 • 1000 sq. ft. Training & Conference Center • Board Room • Founders Garden

On November 21 at 10:30 a.m. a ground-breaking ceremony will mark the beginning of the renovation of the 207 N. Muhlenberg St. property in Woodstock (right next door to the Mabel Lee Walton House). The ceremony will be held on the site of the new National Headquarters, which will provide offices for the Sorority as well as the Foundation, plus a training and conference center, Board room, and special Founders Garden. Anticipated occupancy date is summer, 2014. The Sorority acquired the property earlier this year, and since then Council and staff members have met with architects and planners to plan effective working and training spaces. After offices move to the renovated building, the Walton House property will be preserved as a showplace for Sigma Sigma Sigma archives and museum displays. Sleeping rooms will still be available on the second and third floors. The new projects are exciting and will provide up-to-date office space within a gracious space. Both Walton House and the National Headquarters building will be linked by gardens, walks, and landscaping to make this Tri Sigma landmark a beautiful place to visit and see Tri Sigma memorabilia. If you’re in the Woodstock area in the next few months, be sure to stop by and see the renovations.

New Playroom in Denver Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation, Denver Alumnae Chapter and Eta Pi (Metro State) Chapter members are cooperating on a pilot program to fund a playroom for children in the new Denver Children’s Hospital, South Campus, in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Foundation Board voted to match gifts from alumnae and chapter fundraising efforts for the hospital during the next three years, up to $7,500. The first check, for $6,000, was presented to the hospital by alumnae, collegians, and staff members in August. Attendees had a chance to see the new hospital, now under construction with anticipated opening in December 2013.
