A word from your Captain...

Thanks to all who have attended the last few coffees.  It has made a definite impact on our group to have the opportunity to meet and greet with each other!  The buzz of more fun is contagious.  I'm hoping that those of you who expressed interest in getting more involved will continue to show up and enjoy the sisterhood!

We've all heard the expression that "many hands make light work" - well, the time has come for us to put this to the test!  Founders Day is fast approaching, and we have all sorts of "light work" for you to help with.  :-)  Some of these items require you to be at the event, others are things you can do before on your own time.  To let us know what you are interested in helping with, just go HERE for a quick survey!

ITB,
Nicole Tankovich
President - Columbus Alumnae Chapter
Delta Gamma Fraternity

Our last coffee event, held February 10 at EO, was a great success! Marilyn Haas led tours of the Fraternity Archives, and we all enjoyed making valentines for the residents of Sunrise Villa, a local retirement community.  Thanks to Shannon Morrison, Erin Donovan, Sandy Kuespert, and Allison Paugh for their help in pulling off this event.
