ST-E-L-L-A!!!

In 1936, Stella George Stern Perry wrote, "We wanted a fraternity that should carry on the delightful fellowships and cooperation of college days into the workaday years ahead and to do so magnaminously. Above all, we wanted a high and active special purpose to justify existence and a simple devotion to some worthy end."

Stella's wish for AOII then, remains AOII's wish for her members today: "May you have all the joy in it all, dear children, that we (founders) have had all the way! May you love one another as happily always as we four have done in a life-long fellowship without break! And may your decendants in Alpha Omicron Pi bring to you the glory that you yourselves are to us today!"

You can read more of Stella's Letter, her inspiring speech written for the Ohio Valley District Convention in 1936.

Happy Birthday, Stella!

COOKIE EXCHANGE

It's that Holiday Baking Time again... and we thought we would share some favorite - but SIMPLE recipes!

MINT COOKIES
(Trust us, they taste EXACTLY like the Girl Scout Thin Mints!)
Use "Dark Mint Chocolate" - these are chocolate 'bits' and can be found wherever they sell candy molds, we found them at Michael's Craft Store. Melt chocolate, using double boiler (first pan filled with water, second pan inside with chocolate. You don't want to melt the chocolate directly on the stove, this can cause it to burn.) Dip RITZ crackers into chocolate and place crackers on wax paper to dry. Voila! THIN MINTS! Easy enough???!!

Please share...
