Need something hemmed?!!

See the below email from a local alum - Rachael Hummel!

I'm offering hand sewn original jean hems or dress pants (without
cuffs) for $12 a pair or two pair for $20. (The type of hem that
Where? used to offer.)

The jeans hem I sew keeps the original jean hem and stitching attached
so there isn't any of that weird folded under look a lot of places do.

If you have any questions, please email me at rachael.hummel@gmail.com
or give me a call at (479) 409-6101

Thanks and AOT!
Rachael Hummel

Kappa Delta State Weekend

We had a great state weekend! Thank you to everyone who attended. Deidre and I set up on Thursday night and we had an interesting time learning about the house's speaker system and wireless internet, but we figured it out! It was great to be back at the house and have the chance to visit with Mom MiMi and some of the girls. Friday we both ended up getting to the house a little early to set up. We had some blue baloons for the chairs to represent the make you smile campaign, We had handouts and candy for each table. We also set up a table to collect purses for the Peace at Home Women's shelter as part of a new National KD Confidence Coalition Projet. We ended up donating over 45 purses to the shelter and were able to give a donation to the shelter in the name of Chanceler Gearheart for speaking to us that night. We even were able to get Chick Fila Delivered for everyone - yum! Funny story - imagine Deidre and I setting up for the weekend, getting everything cleaned, etc, etc....now remember Big Little? Did any of you use the string? That's right...we picked the same night as Big little for our Alum event...ahh! 5pm rolls around and here come the girls - string everywhere. Deidre and I are trying to finish setting up stepping over the string, getting chairs stuck in the string, getting ourselves stuck in the string, wondering how much of the string was still going to be there when the alums showed up, etc. We laughed ( and ate a lot of candy corns) the whole time. Than we peek out in the front yard - the girls are having a white out PAINT event! girls and paint everywhere - oh my...It was so funny becuase Jennifer Adkins, AShley Dillard, Jesi Riley, Kama Marsh, and Darcy Jackson all showed up early to all of that! We definatley got a kick out of it for sure. Brought back many memories! We had a tailgate on Saturday and the turnout was the best of any event our Associate has seen. So many families showed up to cheer on the hogs. Sunday we had the house open for tours and Mom MiMi stories. What a great weekend. Thank you for your support and we look forward to another one in 2 years!
