Chapter Woman of the Year Chris Mesko-Holzer True Friendship By William S. Tsoukalas, Sr The feeling of friendship from the start Is that special feeling in your heart A feeling from deep down inside A feeling that no one should hide A friend is there through good and bad They make you happy when you're sad They brighten up your darkest day Just by the simple things they say Now friendship can't be bought or sold It may get tarnished, and may get old You can overcome your greatest fear Just look around and it is there Now friendship's one and only cost Is to make sure that it's never lost. Our Woman of the Year exemplifies our sisterhood of friendship Written by Jan Cannon Top |

I found this poem about friendship and would like to share it with you: Friendship Friendship needs no studied phrases, Polished face, or winning wiles; Friendship deals no lavish praises, Friendship dons no surface smiles. Friendship follows Nature's diction, Shuns the blandishments of art, Boldly severs truth from fiction, Speaks the language of the heart. Friendship favors no condition, Scorns a narrow-minded creed, Lovingly fulfills its mission, Be it word or be it deed. Friendship cheers the faint and weary, Makes the timid spirit brave, Warns the erring, lights the dreary, Smooths the passage to the grave. Friendship - pure, unselfish friendship, All through life's allotted span, Nurtures, strengthens, widens, lengthens, Man's relationship with man. Each sister radiates her own kind of friendship - Ev Cruze - with her heart and courage, Judy Tompkins - with her willingness to serve and ready smile, AND Eleanor Waite - with her laugh and unselfish way. Congratulations to all of you - well done, my sisters! Written by Jan Cannon Top |
Written by Tina MurrayJust the perfect sister, Top |
In honor of our 2011 WOY, Tina Murray: Another year has come and gone, and now with time to reflect We honor the commitment our sister showed, for her we have the greatest respect Although we have our separate lives, we share a common theme Sisters aware of each others hopes, we cherish each others dreams This sister went beyond mere participation and gave us her best Her contributions to chapter life were fun and fact, as all can attest. I realize that through the years, many friends we've made and left behind But our wonderful BSP sisters, best friends, have been there all the time. For we'll always be close as sisters, whether near or far apart A sister is a sister, forever in my heart Congratulations Tina. Thanks to BJ for helping me compose this. She is a much better writer than me. Written by Marge Siedlicke Top |
This year’s winner and beloved sister to all of us is so deserving, not only for her dedication to BSP and OLS, but for the true care and love she shows to all of her sisters all of the time. In true Beta Sigma Phi spirit, it is my great pleasure to announce that this year’s OLS Woman of the Year is our dear President Marge Siedlicke. CONGRATULATIONS MARGE!! (I wrote this on behalf of all of OLS just for you!) THE YELLOW ROSE OF
SISTERHOOD, OUR WOMAN OF THE YEAR Written by Linda Driscoll Top |
She worked tirelessly on straightening out who was eligible to progress in rituals and then helped us all get our pins on time for rituals. She personally took on the expense of mailing all the pins to us. There is a poem by Douglas Pagels that says: May you always have an angel by your side There are a few more lines but I must cut this short. Linda has been the angel at our sides last year giving all of us her support. Congratulations Linda. Written by Marge Siedlcke, President Top |

The point system is onlined here. Eleanor did the huge analysis of all email to the chapter for Jan-Dec 2005, analyzing how many "participation" postings there were in a meeting each month (we didn't count jokes or other postings like that), and how many programs each member did. I did the attendance analysis, and officers and committees, and put it all on a spreadsheet to calculate the points for each member. Eleanor is the member with the most points for the year 2005! I did send all the details to Jacki privately as soon as I had it done, and did not tell Eleanor, as she was the WOY, so this email is coming as a surprise to her. This points analysis is an excellent tool. It's nice to have a clear choice based on an impartial system. Please join me in congratulating Eleanor Waite, Online Sigma's Woman of the Year. :) Written by Sheila Alder, Past President Top |

Chapter Woman of the Year Eleanor Waite |
Eleanor chaired our first ever On Line Sigma reunion and did a great job. This was an international feat! She co-ordinated schedules, arranged each and every member's arrival to be greeted, and did it graciously. Whenever help is needed, Eleanor is there, but this is the first time she has Chaired and she rose to the challenge. Eleanor exemplifies the good, the true, and the beautiful. Eleanor is very active on the list all the time. She is a very caring sister--a perfect example of a BSP sister! She is very active and is always there with her support. She exemplifies the true meaning of Beta Sigma Phi and our motto, Life, Learning, Friendship. Written by Sheila Alder, OLS President, and Cyber Council Moderator Top |

Chapter Woman of the Year Ruth Greene |
Ruth Greene has proven to be an outstanding Beta Sigma Phi this year. :) Not only our chapter hostess, arranging for "goodies" for our meeting, Ruth has been one of Online Sigma's representatives at Cyber Council. She was elected Alternate Recorder at Cyber Council, and installed in April, then stepped in and assumed the office of Recorder (equivalent to Recording Secretary) when that member was unable to fulfill her duties. Here in OLS, Ruth also stepped in and helped BJ with the Recording Secretary duties when she was unable to due to health problems and work commitments. All of this while Ruth herself was facing health challenges! Ruth is most deserving of the title of Online Sigma's Woman of the Year in the year 2002!

Chapter Woman of the Year Janice Varga |
Janice, your sisters have spoken! Janice was the overwhelming choice for 2001's Online Sigma Woman of the year. Here's what some of the members said: "Being president is a lot of work behind the scenes. Janice handled it in a professional, but friendly manner." "Being the President of anything requires a lot of time, effort, talent, caring, not to mention many other atributes and as On-Line Sigma's Second President, Janice has shown all of those things and given so much of her time, effort and especially caring!" "I worked closely with this lady during the past year. She is very efficient and caring." "Her professional responsible handling of the online chapter." "She is one very special lady and Online Sigma Sister." Congratulations to Janice Varga, Online Sigma's 2001 Woman of the Year! Written by Sheila Alder, OLS Woman of the Year 2000 Top |

Chapter Woman of the Year Sheila Currie Alder (now Brown) |
On Line Sigma's first Woman of the Year is always there and willing to help with anything you don't understand and always takes the time to respond to our message with a personal comment. She takes the time to be a good sister. It was hard to choose just one Woman of the Year, but when the voting was accomplished it was obvious that this sister has gone above and beyond all that has been asked of her. She truly is an "Online" Woman of the Year. On Line Sigma's first "Woman of the Year" for the New Millennium is none other than of expert Web Master, Sheila Alder".
