Priscilla Roberts has been a member of ARCS MWC since 1990, when she was sponsored by Margie Shanklin. We thank Priscilla for her longtime service over the past 34 years and for her continuing commitment to ARCS MWC! 

Priscilla and Margie have been friends for a long time and have volunteered together in several organizations. After Margie brought her as a guest to several ARCS MWC events, Priscilla joined our chapter because she thought that the ladies were lovely and she believed in the goals and mission. She belongs to 40 linear societies with programs supporting students (for example, she founded a chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the first time a chapter of the society was formed outside Texas). 

Priscilla has stayed in ARCS MWC mainly because she likes the gracious splendid ladies, the wonderful events, and the noble mission. She attends many ARCS MWC events! She likes them all but her favorites have been the fieldtrips. Two examples of fieldtrips she attended were a visit to a reservoir and a trip to a military base (she was married to Major General James Milnor Roberts so she appreciates things of a military nature). She finds that ARCS MWC trips are always in good taste and patriotic.

Priscilla would like to share the following with current members of ARCS MWC, particularly new members. She says that the freedom of a country depends on the expertise of those who run it, so it is imperative that we have men and women leaders of great skill and education, particularly in STEM fields. Priscilla says that ongoing STEM education and the resulting innovation is important for the United States to remain a strong country and to keep its position in the world. She adds that it is important to financially support those who exhibit a desire to better the world. Priscilla enjoys working with wonderful people, especially the marvelous women of ARCS MWC, on worthwhile projects for the good of many.
