The theme, "Music is our Call" from our beloved SAI song book, captures the spirit and excitement of this year's conven on during this seemingly never-ending pandemic. For Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc., the song's words, "Rising to the challenge," are equally meaningful and describe our work throughout this pandemic. From day one, to keep SAI Philanthropies' work moving forward, we were challenged with finding new ways to navigate our increasingly virtual world. We overcame this challenge and con nued to support our na onal and interna onal projects; and awarded grants and scholarships, some of which were used for virtual lessons, summer camps and virtual master classes. During these past four years, what was most impac ul in helping SAI Philanthropies to overcome challenges and con nue its work? You! Your gi s, of all amounts, and confidence in what we do. Thank you for your incredibly generous support – we'll see you at Conven on! Fraternally, Heidi Frankson, Chairman, Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc. A N N U A L G I V I N G C A M P A I G N
