I've gotten the go-ahead from my district president to start a new alumnae chapter because there isn't one close to where I live. Every event is at least an hour drive (and usually farther).
I'd like to get some advice from some of you who were involved in getting a chapter started (or re-started!)
I already have a strip list (500 names! Whoa!) of ZTA alumnae who live within a half hour from me. But.. surprisingly few e-mail addresses on it.
I'd like to get a few women in my area to help me launch this. We need to plan our first recruitment event. Unfortunately, I don't know a single ZTA alumnae in my area, so I'm going to be going into this cold.
What's the best way to approach alumnae about this? At first, I was thinking of just calling people on the phone, but I now think it would be better to write a letter first rather than hit people cold.
Any suggestions on what the letter should say? I'm a writer, but I'm at a loss on this one!
Thanks for any suggestions, tips, etc.
