"Sisterhood, Social Action & the Power of Our Vote" was the theme of the 111th Founders Day Celebration hosted by the Little Rock Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. A passionate keynote speech by U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) lined up well with said theme.

After a long, dark winter stuck inside, we’re fully awake to spring, now demanding our attention by throwing blooms in our path and sending blue skies vaulting overhead. Local gardens are calling to green thumbs as well as those who don’t know a bearded iris from a bonzai. Vancouver’s Jane Weber Evergreen Arboretum may not be listed in many Vancouver travel brochures but it is certainly beloved by those who know about it, whether they come to the arboretum for horticultural inspiration or just to take a peaceful walk.
crowds are a bit smaller than expected. we have live team coverage from the 75th anniversary and even live on the san francisco bay. let s begin with george kiriyama who s at the marina green. hello, george. reporter: hello, diane. you know, paris has the eiffel tower, well, we have the golden gate and the big orange bridge in the bay means something different for everyone, but it s been a symbol of love for many, especially one woman who walked the golden gate 75 years ago. so there s alcatraz. reporter: doris hale will never forget that day when she and her family walked across the golden gate bridge for the very first time. we packed up a lunch, walked the bridge and sat on the marine side and had our lunch. reporter: in the 75 years since, the golden gate has been a symbol for memories for doris, romance being one of them. when i was dating we used to walk across. i guess that s a romantic situation. reporter: bethese two are hoping their love does as well.
