he Fort Wayne Alumnae Chapter had a really great year last year, with over 45 active alumnae
and patroness members. Their Province Officer, Kendra McFarland, wrote "they affiliated 5
members, the most for the province, and gave large contributions [totaling over $2400] to SAI
and community groups, as well as scholarships. They also hosted the IMEA booth for the state
conference held in Fort Wayne." The chapter's service project, which involved members singing at two
naturalization ceremonies, was an Annelle Chandler McAdams Service Project Award winner in Category 3.
The group actively supported the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, FAME, a Summer String Camp, ASTACAP, the
Believe in a Dream string education project, and the Fort Wayne Children's Choir. Among their five public
musicales, they hosted a benefit tea with a " Women Composers" theme that raised over $2000, and they
performed at a community women's luncheon. Future plans include commissioning a new work for the Fort
Wayne Community Band and continuing to connect with and support chapter members.
