It's that time again! I've planned on making one more Sigma Alpha t-shirt quilt for the 2006 National Convention in Atlanta, GA. I hope all the collegiate and alumni chapters will help to make this year's quilt as great as the last two! Letters went out to collegiate chapters a week or so ago, and now that almost everyone is back from Sprink Break, I would like to ask that you discuss among your chapter's sisters as to whether or not you would like to donate one of your chapter's spare (or lightly used) event t-shirts. Each shirt that I receive will be made into a square for the quilt. Don't worry about size or color. The more variation the quilt has, the better! If your chapter has no spare shirts to donate, there are options. For example, you can send a university t-shirt or use iron-ons to create your own design. You can even add your own embellishments to a university shirt! (If you are creating or embellishing, though, please email for guidelines).
If your chapter decides to participate by donating one or more shirts, please email me at
sdlperkins@hotmail.com for mailing directions. Upon receipt of your shirt, I will email you a reply to let you know your donation arrived and post a thank you here.
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps out in this endeavor. And please remember, this is for a very good cause! The money that is made from the sell of the quilt is used toward Sigma Alpha scholarships ($1500 total to be awarded in 2006), $150 each to the chapters receiving the Outstanding GPA & Most Improved GPA awards, and for expenses incurred in sponsoring the Golden Mouse Award for best website, the Outstanding Scrapbook Award, and Sigma Alpha Quiz Bowl.
Sincerely,
Susan Perkins
