Hello sister 99s! We wanted to share the following information about the upcoming 50th Anniversary celebration of the International Forest of Friendship from Janet Patton, IFOF Board Member.
Info from her recent email below.
We are asking for help with the "Video Of Well Wishes" we are putting together. We have a sample video on YouTube that you can view HERE. https://youtube.com/shorts/dO3AI1stOTA?is=tF_PbotynvlC6BSN
We are asking that anytime in the month of AUGUST 2026, that you are with other 99s, please take a video and send them to Sydney Schumsky-Nicholas at [email protected]. Add the Chapter or Section name if applicable so that she can add it to the video as seen in the sample video on YouTube.
We prefer a CUTOFF date of August 20, 2026 to submit the video to be included in the final version, which will be shown at the 50th International Forest of Friendship celebration.
The 99s on this IFOF committee are: Louann Darling, Terri Donner, Linda Haynes, Lisa Huber, Shannon Jipson, Janet Patton, Martha Reith, Sydney Schumsky-Nicholas, and Susan Siporin.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns or complaints, let me know. We apologize for the short notice on the video, however the timing was such that this delay was necessary. Thanks for your patience, understanding and commitment to the International Forest of Friendship.
With gratitude,
Janet Patton
