Sisters, As you know, this year celebrates Tau Lambda’s 25th Anniversary! We have a great weekend planned and hope you will join us. We ask that you send your response by Friday April 9, 2010. Details for payment info below... A few notes: due to constraints between the University and Headquarters, we are unable to serve alcohol at the banquet; however we will meet for Happy Hour prior to the dinner and we have the rest of the night to enjoy ourselves… we even have a driver!!!! The money we are requesting for the banquet will cover the shuttle bus, decorations (minimal), as well as the room rental. We are incurring this cost so the current sisters will be able to attend the evening at a discount.
We are collecting for Relay For Life, a campus-wide event to benefit the American Cancer Society, which the chapter will participate. We are also asking that you consider making a donation to Tau Lambda to offset the cost of the event for current sisters even more and to raise money for the upkeep of their chapter house. Any amount is greatly appreciated…even if you are unable to join us, please consider showing your support.
