Buttonz,
That all sounds really great. Coming from the former alumnae chair for my chapter (I just went alum

), I think that what you have planned is really good. I do think that 4 speakers might be too much, unless their speeches are short. Then that could work. I would definitely try to have the alumnae send in $18 for the event. I mean, when compared to what I have read here, that is nothing. Plus like someone said, they get to spend time with their sisters, so why would it upset them to pay less than $20?
I was just curious about what all your alumnae chair has done with the alumnae. I am done with the chair, but when I turn things over to the new chairwoman, I think I might try to include some ideas for events. If you can't tell me your events, don't worry about it.
