Bunko night fun...

Thank you to everyone in attendance at Bunko Night! We had so much fun. A BIG thank you to Sarah Murphy for hosting the event and teaching all of us how to play. We had 5 ladies roll a BUNKO. Lacey Williams, Cari Taylor, Marsha Carwell, Sarah Murphy and Marlene Brown (2 time winner).



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

Tailgate Fun

Thank you to all the alumnae & their families that stopped by the tailgate this past Saturday. We had a great turnout. Also, thank you to the collegians for showing up and hanging out with us. Despite the hurricane like winds we had a lot of fun and I look forward to tailgating with everyone again next year.
