Cele, your holiday ornament potluck sounds like a lot of fun. You may see that idea being used by some AOII alums next holiday season
I also love the scrapbook idea and kateshort's Dress for Success suit donation philanthropy!
Here's what we have on our calendar so far for our alum chapter reorganization:
Make It Bake It Sew It Grow It auction
Collegiate Chapter 10th anniversary events
Finals Kit fundraiser (proceeds to benefit our 2 closest collegiate chapters)
Paint Your Own Pottery night
A few of us have met for coffee just on our own, so we may start a monthly "Coffee Break" for those alumnae who are home during the daytime and would be interested. I know we have a lot of younger alumnae interested, so maybe a monthly "ladies night out" like pinkyphimu's alum chapter does would be a good plan. We've also discussed going to a local restaurant that does a nice Tea Luncheon early this year.
There's a huge age range in our area so my goal is to provide a lot of options to meet up with sisters that appeal to differing ages. I think the survey idea is great, I'd love to see a copy of what you sent out Melanie.
I love GC, what a great place to brainstorm ideas!
Fraternally,
Christin
