Thanks to all. We sent out emails to our list-serv, one black and white postcard, and a 2-color postcard to promote this event to the alumnae. We also set up a web site with online registration, a message board and an itinerary of events/opportunties. The chapter promoted the event internally. We anticipate a turnout of around 200 over the three days' worth of events.
Our January event at the end of the month includes a series of a la carte events: A Friday evening social, a Saturday luncheon (the "big" event) and a Sunday Family Picnic at the House which will include a devotional and a collegiate workshop about Career Planning. Donations will be taken to benefit our official philanthropy and our House Corporation. We are also selling t-shirts. There will be favors at the luncheon, and we have gotten local sponsors to help offset costs. There will also be a silent auction, with proceeds benefitting the House Corp. We have produced a multi-media show and each event attendee will receive a commemorative Memory Book that includes photos of the chapter through the years, an alumnae directory, ads from local sponsors and more.
Thanks for your ideas. We have a wonderful planning committee and everyone has pitched in to lend their support.
