advice needed

Update....

In the end had to cancel the February event. Making the call to RMH was seriously the hardest thing I've had to do thus far. I felt utterly horrible. OMG all I could do was apologize like a gazillion times.

I'm going to email the AA president tomorrow morning (I'm about to head off to bed) and tell her that I would like to send out an email and survey (thanks again Abbey for the suggestion). The next event is 3 weeks away and I've got 3 volunteers. It's a pancake breakfast so it could be done with the 4 of us, but more would be better

I'm going to take the advice about families. I'll have to check with RMH first. I think families could come to the ice cream social in April. Again, check with RMH first and make sure it is okay. I wonder if we could decorate the outside and hold the social outside in their "outside area" (for lack of a better word). I'll be calling RMH tomorrow

Do any of your associations do anything over the summer for RMH? I kind of hate that the alum association kind of shuts down for the summer and then restarts when the chapter comes back to school. I think we should still be doing stuff for RMH over the summer. They still need us.

Ugh to much that I want to do and not enough time or volunteers to do it.

Before the OCAA unoffically disbanded (for lack of a better word), we use to do Sunday brunches once a month for the RMH and continued throughout the summer. If the AA holds summertime events and people still attend, you could probably muster up some support for an upcoming RMH event by attending yourself. I want to say we did do a 4th of July themed meal for them one summer but the details escape me. I definitely agree that helping them over the summer would be great, since you know at the very least the local adpi chapters are not around to lend a hand. Could you guys plan a baseball night and attend a game and do a silent auction to benefit the RMH? Or maybe just raffle off some good seats if there are any alumnae who hold season passes?

I'm glad to hear that other AA's try to do stuff.

I love the idea of a baseball night! I'll have to mention it to the president. Thanks for the idea!

We're holding a garage sale to benefit RMH this summer and will probably go there to cook dinner over the summer.
