Mark Your Calendars!

from Harrisburg Alumnae Chapter:
Mark your calendars!

We have a late request from the AAC & Members of Tau Lambda Chapter to get together next Saturday, April 16. This will replace our mini-golf tournament end of the month.

They have asked the alumnae chapter to do the ritual for alumnae status.

Location and time are not firm yet. Plan on approximately 3pm in the Camp Hill area.

We are asking that alumnae bring snacks (cookies, crackers, cheese, dip, fruit, chips, etc.).

In my recent (unfortunate) visit to Ship, I picked up The Slate and was glad to see a familiar face... thought I'd share:

help with hand and heart

Are you an active member
The kind who would be missed,
Or are you just content that
Your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings
And mingle with the flock,
Or do you stay away
And criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part
To help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be
The kind who "just belongs"?

Do you ever work on committees
To see there is no trick,
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the clique?
So come to meetings often,
And help with hand and heart;
Don't be just a member
But take an active part!
Think this over, sister,
You know right from wrong.
Are you an active member,
Or do you just belong?

It's FRIDAY...

Good Morning, not much new to report... last call for your letters, if you haven't already sent them in, the chapter will be gathering them tomorrow and will send out a very large package on Monday.

Another quick note regarding some questions that have been flying around... the chapter has secured all our belongings at the house. At this time we wish to keep everything in tact until we hear the outcome of the appeal. (It's not over yet!!!) They are conscious that there are many sentimental items in the house.

The AAC will be holding another conference call Monday night so we will keep you posted.
