Here in Atlanta we will be having our Founder's Day Celebration at the posh restaurant Anthony's in Buckhead. Alpha Phi International President Crista Vasina will be speaking.

My mom (also an Alpha Phi) and I will be going. Should be fun!

Ca: I had heard about the event at Syracuse. It sounds like a neat thing. I would love to have been able to attend.

For those who haven't seen the invite here it is:

Hosted by the Michaelanean Society and Fingerlakes Alumnae Chapter
Location: "Alpha" Chapter House, Syracuse, New York
Date: Friday, October 11

On June 22, 1886, a special group of Syracuse Alpha Phi's laid a "Cornerstone" into the foundation of the Alpha Phi Chapter House. These women placed "a number of items" into the "Cornerstone" before cementing it into place. A special ceremony, song, and dedication speech were part of the festivities...and the event drew quite a crowd!!

On October 12, 2002, the Michaelanean Society and Fingerlakes Alumnae Chapter will be opening this original "Cornerstone"...and we hope that you will join us!!

Listed below is the tentative schedule for this historical weekend.

Friday, October 11, 2002
