Friendship is the cornerstone of the West Towns (IL) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, anchoring every act of service in trust, love, and shared purpose. The bonds we build strengthen our connections and empower us to use our individual gifts and talents in meaningful, transformative ways. Within our chapter are accomplished women in health, government, STEAM, education, and countless other professions who bring expertise and passion to breathe life into our signature service programs for communities across the African diaspora. Our sisterhood thrives not only in service, but in celebration — from lively game nights and theater outings to elegant winter teas shared with family and friends. These intentional moments of joy deepen our unity and remind us that friendship is both our foundation and our fuel.

Alumnae Love: Where Friendship Never End.
The Alumnae Love Committee stands as a treasured extension of the West Towns legacy, honoring the remarkable women who have dedicated 25 or more years of faithful service to our chapter and the communities we serve. Rooted in gratitude and sisterhood, the committee was created to ensure that our alumnae members remain deeply connected to West Towns, fostering lasting friendships that transcend active chapter life.
Their decades of leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment have shaped the culture, strength, and impact of our organization. Through intentional engagement, we celebrate their contributions while continuing to embrace their wisdom and presence. The committee hosts meaningful cultural experiences — including outings to the Black Ensemble Theater — where we gather to enjoy powerful performances that reflect our shared heritage and love for the arts. We extend holiday gifts as tokens of appreciation and remembrance, ensuring our alumnae feel cherished throughout the year. The Alumnae Love Committee ensures that the women who built our foundation continue to feel valued, connected, and honored.
