Alum Socials/Philanthropy Events?

[Sistermadly]

Hi everyone!

I've been asked to come up with some ideas for future alum socials and philanthropy events. I'd love to hear some of your ideas on events that worked (or didn't work) in the past!

My alum group plans one event per month that is either social or philanthropy oriented and then distributes information for other philanthropy or social events that they are aware of for our members to participate in.

Some of my favorite social events:
*High tea at a local hotel
*Wine tasting
*Day at the beach

Our philanthropy events vary but we have participated in local walks/runs; done events with local hospitals and worked with local collegiate chapters on co-sponsored philanthropy events.

Good luck!

We have had a sailboat cruise, a tarot card reading, brunches at nice local places. We also have happy hours, game nights etc.

One thing we did which was really fun -having a professional chef teach a cooking class!!

Here is my alum groups website:

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be sure to pass them along to the local group.
