We strive to develop women of poise and purpose and assist our members in fostering lifetime friendships.
We will be crafting on Friday night and making letter shirts/tote bags and ladybug pins. It will be $1 per activity, so $1 for a set of letters and/or $1 per ladybug pin. We are asking that you bring your own shirts and totebags to participate in this activity.
Also, we are challenging each chapter to bring at least TWO items to the Foundation Raffle. These can be fun crafts, jewelry, picture frames, anything!
And please don’t forget your S. June Smith Wish List Items!
See you in 2 weeks!

Greetings!
D4 ROCKS!!
I recently received a membership report from HQ that as a district we are a 110% of our possible membership numbers. That is because our chapters & colony are doing a WONDERFUL job at recruiting new members and MANY of our chapters are ABOVE total!! YIPEEE!!
Elections
Elections are quickly upon us!! PLEASE have your new chapter President email me shortly after she is elected. AND do not forget to plan a terrific officer transition to go along with the new online officer transition programs created by HQ!!
Alumnae Directory by Harris
It’s that time again! Harris Directory is contacting our members to update their information so that we can have it and members can purchase their own brand new copy of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Alumnae Directory”. You likely got an email from Harris – please complete the information and encourage others to complete theirs. One question did come up – yes, collegians are getting this, too, even though it’s called the “alumnae directory”. We absolutely, positively DO want collegians to participate, so please encourage away!! Please inform your chapter members that YES they are to complete the information!! Harris is also asking for APPROPRIATE pictures to include in the publication!!
Graduating seniors
Remind your chapter secretaries today to report graduating seniors. They received an email from HQ on Monday as to how to report this!
Songs
HQ has uploaded wav (sound) files to the Officer Portal document library (under Music and Media) of the Hymn, Grace Before Meat and the Initiation Song. There are two files per song – one with actual singing and one with just the instrumental. Written lyrics can be found in the Ritual book.
Leadership Consultants
LC applications are being accepted right now for women interested in traveling for ASA either after the holidays or next school year. If you or anyone in your chapter might be interested please check out the information on the National website.
District Day 2010
Don’t forget – February 26 & 27 in Charlottesville, VA!!
Happy Founders’ Day (a bit early)
May you all enjoy your Founders’ Day. As you reflect on another year for Alpha Sigma Alpha, remember these words from the Service for Founders’ Day:
As I have given myself throughout my lifetime membership, I have deepened my love and faith in the basic tenets of our organization. My crown symbolizes leadership attained; its gold, like the sun, denotes growth in wisdom and fruitfulness. May I be kind and wise as the legendary King Asa, whose trusted friend and advisor was the beautifully radiant phoenix – a source of light and power, a creator and revealer of beauty and a dispeller of darkness and doubt. May I positively influence and guide those entrusted to my care, remembering these words: He is indeed wise who does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
Mizpah –
Julie
Just a reminder that Friday night is ‘travel casual.’ We will be very active, so wear jeans and sweatshirts or letters. Saturday is business casual.
