Recap from Lat night's Pearl Potluck

Hi all- Thank you to all who were able to make last night's Pearl Potluck at Nancy Jolliffe's. It was great to see you all and the food was so delicious. How fun too that we we able to wish Migit Snyder a happy belated 90th birthday! (Her birthday was in August.)

Here's a quick up date of need to know info from the meeting:

We distributed a Member survey, to find out what interested you about the Alum group and what you all would like to do in the further. I have emailed you all the survey today, so that everyone in the membership gets an opportunity to fill it out. Please get them to Amy no later than Oct. 18. Thanks.

Also, we were reminded to please get in our annual membership dues to Nancy Breithart.

Mary Baumgarten talked about the upcoming Birmingham Panhellenic Annuual Luncheon (Nov 3) that will be at Orchard Lake Country Club and feature vedor tables and a speaker talking "All About Chocolate." Tri Delt is a gold patron for the event.

Kim Van Gorder let us know that the Iotas are doing well and that we sent them a floral arrangement for Rush.

We had a wonderful speaker from St. Jude talk to us about St. Jude, Tri Delt and St. Jude and this wonderful family friendly walk that St. Jude is hosting at The Somerset Collection on Nov. 19. We are in the process of putting together a Tri Delta team...if you are interested in walking or volunteering for the event (registration table or handing out snack, water bottles or t-shirts), please contact Amy Zimmer and she will add you to the team roster and register for us. We would like to have anyone interested signed up by Oct. 3. There is no cost to register or walk, but as a chapter if we can make our personal goal to raise $35 a walker, that would be great.


Look forward to see you all soon, either at the Panhellenic Lunch, the St. Jude walk, or at Founder's Day!

-Amy Zimmer

Tri Delta and pearls...

In honor of tonight's Fall "Pearl" meeting, we are sharing a Delta fact about our relationship with the pearl.

The pearl is the jewel of Tri Delta. The one jewel that grows, it symbolizes the new member, developing from a tiny grain of sand into a thing of great value and beauty.

Fall "Pearl" Potluck ~ September 14 (Tomorrow night)

Our Fall "Pearl" potluck meeting is finally here! Look forward to seeing Delta sisters tomorrow night (Sept. 14) for great food, friendship and information from St. Jude on their upcoming charity walk!

Iotas are still seeking Jewelry donations for their rush philantropy...

Hi all: Kelly Tierce (a Delta who recently moved to the area and is looking to get involved) has been helping the Uof M Tri Deltas with their third set of rush and says that everyone is soo kind! She reports that they are still looking for jewelry and accessory donations for that third night, which is philanthropy. All the donations are going to be sent to St. Judes for their "prom" program, so if anyone has something to donate, Kelly has offered to take it to Ann Arbor when she goes to help set up on Friday, September 16th. If you have any items that you would like her to take: you can either drop things off at her house, 17195 Birwood Avenue in Beverly Hills or she has also offered to pick things up. Her email is: ktierce@hotmail.com.

Will we see you at the Sept. 14 Fall "Pine" Potluck? Let us know!
