Lunch at Restaurant (9)
Scrapbooking party (5)
Plans for this weekend- Spa Party and Dancing at club at night
Plans for this summer- BBQ with other alumnae chapter

For us, the most well attended was a reunion sponsored by the collegiac chapter, but for alum only events, gatherings in a sister's home (centrally located) with a relaxed atmosphere bring in the most women.

Sometimes it is a great event and just the wrong time or location, sometimes it is just an okay event, but the right time and local! Best if the invitations go out in plenty of time to decide. eVite is great for this.

Good luck with your alum chapters,
Amy
