Hello my Owl sisters, please read this email from Bri and check your connections. She would truly appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Emily


Hey ladies!I am hoping I can get a little help from my sisters....I graduated fromlaw school in June and passed the Ohio Bar, and I have been in theprocess of looking for an attorney position. Since most firms never post these openings, it is really hard to know who is looking for help.I am hoping that one of you ladies might know an attorney that iscurrently overworked, looking to hire, or are simply friends with oneand wouldn't mind either passing their name along to me or forwarding myresume along to them.

I originally wanted to stay in the Columbus areaand practice family law, but since the search is not going well, Irecently decided I would be willing re-locate and practice in a widevariety of areas. I would really appreciate anything you could do for me!

Wonderful Owl Update~Kristen Sullivan Mantovani

Here is the exciting email I got from Kristen!!!

Hi Ladies! I love reading all of your updates so I'd thought I'd throw my current life story into the mix: Clay and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in October, and have been living in Delaware since 2004. We adore our 3 year old boxer, Lola, who is spoiled rotten. A little over two years ago we decided that we wanted to expand our family with babies of the human variety as well, and had no idea what a roller coaster of a journey it would turn into. I am excited to share the news now though, that I am 6 weeks pregnant and so far the tests show that we're healthy and it's going well! As if that wasn't enough, my nephew, Scott Michael Sullivan was born yesterday 12/28/07! Scotty is 7lbs 15oz (three weeks early) and cute as a button. He joins his big sister Kimberly, who will turn 11 next week. (My brother and I are 13 years apart, so it appears he's following the same pattern with his kids.) Mommy & baby are doing great and should get to go home New Year's Eve. I hope you all had a wonderful 2007 and best wishes for 2008- Happy New Year! ~

Please keep Kristen and her belly in your prayers! We are SO happy for you!

Happy New Year!

Greetings fantastic Owl ladies,

I just wanted to wish you all the happiest of new years. I hope you have wonderful plans for Monday night (or perhaps just more exciting than my family's), and that 2008 is your best year yet.

Love to you all,

The McCallen Family

Job seeking

Posted for Angie Green '00:

Angie has a friend she is trying to help find a public accounting job—and quick. Does anyone know of any openings at their office, or someone she may refer her friend to? As Ang says, "This chick rocks the house and needs some hooter help. Any hooters out there you know of that can help a math whiz like her?"

If you know of anything, e-mail Angie right away: agreen8000@yahoo.com

From our sweet Tricia...

Hi Ladies,

I am writing to say thanks. It has become clear to me over the past year what the true meaning of "love" is... that it is selfless and without expectation. And that's what the ladies of Sigma Alpha Tau have offered me in recent months. The cards and thoughtful words have been a launch pad to lift me up when there were/are moments of sadness. The presence at Duncan's visitation brought to life how the OWLS community is alive and extremely supportive. In practical ways, I have been gifted with a huge freezer, a clean-cut lawn (as a result of "Project Rake the Arthur's Leaves!"), and several restaurant gift cards to get past the nights my little butt doesn't have the energy to ponder dinner. And, not to mention, the individual acts of compassion the nice little mail man conitnued to surprised me by: Cheryl cookies, fruit baskets, and more.

Honestly, it feels overwhelming. But, as I stated in this year's Christmas letter, I have learned the difficult lesson of letting go of the burden of knowing I will never be able to repay your love. So, please know that I fully appreciate all the care you've physically provided me, all the care you've emotionally provided me, and all the care you've spiritually provided me (I know the prayers have been abundant).

In deep graitude,
Tricia and the Arthur Family
