Hi MRS Sisters,

HUDGINS, Elgie Elgie Russell Hudgins, 80, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Elgie is survived by the love of his life and wife of 60 years, Mary Louise; his daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and Terry Clanton; daughter, Wanda Hudgins-Spain; daughter, Patti Romero; daughter and son-in-law, Leigh and Gary Landon; 11 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey and Eunice Hudgins and his daughter and son-in-law, Libby and Randy Poynter. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Arts from Auburn University in 1953. He spent his career in the printing and packaging industry, retiring in 1999. Elgie was a devoted family man, loved spending time with his wife, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and looked forward to family get-togethers for any occasion when he enjoyed his homemade peach ice cream. He was known to close friends as "Pipe". His cheerful and witty spirit endeared him to his family and friends. His constant display of love and affection for his wife was inspirational to family and embarrassing to hospital staff during some recent hospital stays. He will be loved and missed by all who loved him and knew him. A memorial service will be held at Scot Ward's Green Meadow Chapel at 2:00 PM on Sunday, September 30, 2012 officiated by Pastor Brett Millican and Pastor Ronny Brannen. Family will receive friends from 1:00 until 2:00 PM prior to the service. Flowers or donations to the Lung Association or American Cancer Society are welcome. Condolences may be submitted on-line at www.scotward.com. Scot Ward Funeral Services, 699 American Legion Road, Conyers, GA 30012, 770-483-7216.

Fund Raiser for Atlanta Day Shelter


JUST SO YOU KNOW--I think that most of you got the same invitation that Anne got about the HEART AMD HAND SOCIETY LUNCHEON, a fund raiser for the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women & Children---to be held on Thursday, February 9, 2012. It will be held at Commerce Club, 191 Peachtree Street NE, 49th floor. The cost is $50 per person. Table sponsorships are $400 for 10 seats. I have mentioned previously that the Shelter reorganized last year; they now have corporate sponsors and a Board of Directors. A part of the program will feature success stories from women and children who have been helped by the Atlanta Day Shelter.
Earlier, those of us who made it to Alice Young's gathering last August, discussed briefly what Atlanta Alums should do about contributions to the Shelter. We agreed that we would continue with writing personal checks at Christmas time. BTW-- the amount of our contributions this past December was disappointing, but Anne sent the checks along as usual and right away received a beautiful THANK YOU letter from the Shelter. This lets us know, as we have always known, that any amount is welcomed. If any of our members want to attend this luncheon, Anne can provide more information. All of us are touched by the needs of this group and would be more generous if we could. Looking forward to a response here.
