Could the local alumnae chapter get a copy of the songbook for the chapter? I love that advisers are going to teach songs and cheers to them! What fun! I found this link for you, how's this for songs?

Speaking of candlelights, I always thought was so darned cute, and I have no clue of who or where this originated?? If someone got to have a candlelight, she would bring in bags of M&Ms...a one pound bag for lavaliering, two pounds for pinning and so forth. Of course, she somehow sneaked them in so when everyone got there for meeting they'd see the candy and know there was to be a candlelight that night!
I have no idea on the logistics of such a thing but that's so much cuter than sneaking a note into the President's mailbox
One big suggestion you may have already thought of, make sure there are ALWAYS some brand new candles available. We used to keep our candles after we blew them out, so if you have more than one in an evening you've got to be prepared...then again, can anyone even USE real candles anymore from a Risk Management perspective? (yes, I know I should know this but I don't yet!)
