Spa Night for Alumnae



Spa Night for Alumnae
Monday, November 9th at 6:30 p.m.
3812 Charleston Dr.
Jonesboro, AR 72404
(Home of Marsha Mays Carwell)

Please join us for Mani's, Pedi's & More
PLEASE BRING AN APPETIZER OF YOUR CHOICE

There is a sorority housing meeting before this event so we will have LOTS to talk about. Hopefully all progress for the new AOII house.

Please feel free to invite any other AOII alumnae that might not be on my email distribution lists or mailing lists. If possible, email me back if you plan on attending. I'm hopeful our event will be a great success and everyone will get to reconnect to their chapter.

Fundraiser for Ben Sherman

Our wonderful collegian girls are absolutely amazing. They decided they wanted to have a fundraiser for a local St. Jude patient. That patient is Ben Sherman, an amazing young boy from Jonesboro, AR. Please go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/bensherman to read more about Ben and his progress.

Our girls (alumnae as well) will be selling tickets for Strawberry's BBQ plates. If you are not familiar with Strawberry's check out their website. http://www.strawsbbq.com/ They are sooooo good. Tickets are $15 each and include 1 pork steak, 3 sides & bread. This is an amazing deal and all proceeds go to Ben Sherman and his family. If you are interested in purchasing tickets or selling tickets please contact Sarah Wiggins Murphy at themurphys@suddenlink.net.

Just this past Sunday, Ben and his mother and sister visited the AOII suite to talk about St. Jude, Ben's progress and how much they appreciate the AOII's.

Watch Survivor and cheer for AOII Natalie!

Please watch and cheer for Natalie Powell White (Sigma Omicron 02') as she competes on Survivor Samoa.
Natalie is competing on the Foa Foa team and is holding her own.  She has survived some pretty rough challenges and even tougher tribal council meetings. Please tune in to CBS on Thursday nights at 7:00 to cheer for Natalie.

Homecoming is this weekend!


I hope everyone is planning on stopping by the AOII tent in tailgate city. The tailgate starts at 3:00 and goes until kick-off.

During the last alumnae meeting we decided to do only desserts at the tailgate since most people will be involved with other tailgates. It also relieves a lot of pressure on our budget and volunteers, sadly we just don't have enough money to cater a meal. With all that said I need people to sign up for desserts and drinks. All the paper products and coolers and ice have already been taken care of.

Please email me linzburnett@hotmail.com with what type of desserts or drinks you will be bringing. All food and drinks must be delivered to the alumnae tent by 2:00 on Saturday the 24th. You can drop off desserts and drinks Friday the 23rd at my office, The ASU Cooper Alumni Center.

Setup & decorating will begin Saturday morning (early). Misti Sims is in charge of decorating. Please email her at misti.sims@sbcglobal.net if you would like to help decorate.

Also, don't forget this Wednesday the 21st is the collegian girls' Step Show competition. Step Show starts at 7:00 at the ASU Convocation Center, admission is free. Some of us alumnae will be meeting at the 501 for dinner prior to Step Show. If you would like to meet us at the 501 at 5:15 for dinner this Wednesday please email me linzburnett@hotmail.com so that the appropriate reservations can be made.



Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing everyone Wednesday and Saturday.

Don't forget to check the blog often for news and updates. http://www.aoiisigmaomicron.blogspot.com/

Expansion/Extension

NPC Extension proposals have been received and they are available in the Leadership Center for members to review and give feedback. Please take some time to stop by and review these materials in order to acquaint yourself with the organizations that have an interest in coming to Arkansas State University. We received four proposals (Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Alpha Sigma Alpha). In October we will invite three organizations to campus to give presentations. As of right now we are still on track to have a new member of our NPC Community in Fall 2010!

You are also invited to an alumnae dinner prior to the event. 5:15 at the 501. Please email me if you plan on attending so that I can make the appropriate reservations. The girls will save seats for us in the convo so that as long as we're there before 7 we will have great seats.
