Merry Christmas

Thank you to everyone that attended the Christmas party last night. We had a lot of fun and plenty of "poinsettias" (those in attendance know what I'm talking about).

I want to say a special thank you to all the alumnae that have helped out over the past couple of years. Your time, talent and treasure has been greatly appreciated. Our alumnae group has grown stronger and our collegians are so amazing, you would all be so proud. If you are not a paying member of the alumnae chapter, please consider being one. The more members we have means the more we can do for the chapter.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Jonesboro AOII Alumnae Chapter. See you all in the new year.

November Get Together

Don't miss out on the November 15th alumnae event.
We will gather at alumna Emilie Holland Statler's home at 6:30 p.m.
4909 Outback Dr. Jonesboro, AR 72404

When you RSVP for the "Alphabet Soup Potluck" I will give you a letter of the alphabet. Your potluck dish should start with that letter. I am also requesting that you send me your recipe so that I can compile all of them into a booklet for those in attendance. This will really come in handy with all the Holiday parties just around the corner.


Goody Bag Fundraiser

Hello everyone,

Some of you may remember receiving a "finals week goody bag" when you were a collegian. This is a fundraiser for the alumnae chapter. We sell goody bags to the parents of current AOII's. We usually sell 30-45  bags. I would love for us to sell bags to each and every parent. Who knows, maybe this year will be our year to do so. We sell the bags for $15. The bags usually include handmade and store bought food, pens & notepads, coupons, gift cards, etc. If you or your business is able to donate anything for these bags please let me know. Let's give the girls the best "Finals Week Survival Goody Bag" they have ever seen.

This is a copy of the letter to be mailed to the parents.
The sale of goody bags is not limited to parents. If you are an alumnae that would like to purchase a bag for an AOII please let me know. linzburnett@hotmail.com
