Groopt!

Our chapter is officially on Groopt!  Groopt is a networking tool/website for chapters to use to keep files, information, etc. in a central location available to all members who register on the Groopt site. 

I wasn’t sure I wanted to join, but I was ‘forced’ to create our chapter’s site when the Fraternity moved the ORL (Officer Resource Library) from the AOII website to be only available on Groopt.  Bummer.  But now that I have access to it again, and have played around with the site a little bit I do think it can be a useful tool for us.  For example, we can keep copies of our bylaws, budget, calendar, minutes and newsletters available online for any members to peruse at their leisure.

The first step to joining is letting me know what email address you would like to have the invitation sent to to start the registration process.  Thanks ladies!!

March 10 – Meeting Notes

I had a wonderful time with some of our sisters this past weekend when we met for a business meeting and some dinner at McAlister’s Deli.  Rhonda, Erica, Vicki, Carol, Alyson, Elizabeth, Jill, Maggie (ECU-Alumnae Relations), and myself spent some time discussing a few issues that have come up recently.  I have created a PDF of those notes.  You can view it here. 

If you have any questions, or want to get involved, please contact me (Cathy Scheidler) or join our Facebook group!!

Standards of Excellence

March 1st is the annual deadline to submit our chapter SOE (Standards of Excellence) for the year.   Certificates will be awarded to Gold, Pearl, or Ruby Levels of Recognition at Convention this year.   If we calculated correctly, we should get Gold Level our first year!

See our submitted SOE here.

Also, read the SOE carefully so that we can attain more of these goals next year!

Wine & Design Night!

On Monday Sept.10th we had our first of what I hope will be many, many Wine & Design Nights!!  Jill, Erica, Sam, Alyson and myself painted beautiful masterpieces, with friends Ashley and Shannon.

We painted a gorgeous beach scene… …and drank some wine.  Be careful not to dip your paintbrush into your wine!!

Here are a few of our versions of the same painting:

We had a great time, and I hope we can do it again soon!!

Stay tuned for info about our next event!!!
