Who Are the Traveling Tift Cutie Pies ?
The Traveling Tift Cutie Pies originated in 2012 when five Tift friends reconnected and decided to get together each month for lunch and fun. The pictures posted afterwards on Facebook caught the attention of other Tift College Alumnae who expressed an interest in joining them and thus, in February 2021, Shelia Wade Keener ’73 formed the Traveling Tift Cutie Pies with their own Facebook page and with the purpose of promoting the legacy of Tift College and alumnae sisterhood throughout the state of Georgia by sponsoring luncheons and other social events during the year. Their first big project was the publication of a Tift Cookbook followed by the establishing of a Tift College Exhibit filled with memorabilia in the Monroe County Historical Society Conley Building. Since that time the Traveling Tift Cutie Pies have ventured into other arenas of activity including the “Tift Legacy Presentation” which features the Tift College Exhibit and the history of the Tift College Campus.
