First, the collegians and AAC (advisors) will be selling Strawberry's BBQ plates. For the past couple of years the girls have held this fundraiser and it is always a great success. Each year they pick a deserving child in need of extra funds. The first year they chose Ben Sherman, a local St. Jude patient. Last year they chose Katie Nelson, a local high school student with a very rare disorder. We were able to award Katie with over $5,000. For those of you familiar with Strawberry's BBQ, you know it is delicious. For $15 per plate you get a huge pork steak, beans, slaw, scalloped potatoes and a roll. Trust me, it's a deal. Pick-up will be on Thursday, April 12th from 4:30-6:30pm at the ASU Cooper Alumni Center. You don't even have to get out of your car. Just pull into the circle drive, hand over your tickets. The girls will bring your food to you. How's that for service.
The next fundraiser is our annual Geranium sale. I've attached a flyer for your convenience. I'll also have additional flyers to give to you at the sorority house groundbreaking on Saturday, March 31st 1:00 because I know you all are planning on attending. ;) The geraniums are still $4 each. Red, pink or white geraniums. Place your order through Carolyn Wyatt at The Greek Vine. All her information is listed in the attachment. Order deadline is Monday, May 7th. Pick-up dates are Friday, May 11th 1-5 and Saturday, May 12th 10-3. Just in time for Mother's Day. Please sell sell sell! The money raised from this fundraiser helps go towards our support for the collegiate chapter. Excel scholarship, conferences, etc.
There will not be an alumnae event this month due to spring break and other hectic schedules. We'll count the groundbreaking on the 31st as our March event. April 16th will be the last event of the year. This will be a Kentucky Derby themed event at the home of Marsha Mays Carwell. This is also senior induction. Please plan on attending. Let's show the girls how much alumnae support they have and how great it is to be active in an alumnae chapter after they graduate.

•Saturday, March 31st 1:00 - Sorority House Groundbreaking (everyone is invited!)
