Cake decorating!!! RSVP to Rebecca by February 7th.
*Our thanks to Rebecca for holding the cake decorating class at her house this past Saturday. It went off very well and people really enjoyed themselves. To top it off, Rebecca had a surprise birthday part for her husband that evening!

March 10, 2001 - 10am in Berkeley
Brunch with Lambda.
We would like to encourage everyone to carpool with people in your area. If you are planning on attending the brunch and are willing to drive, please send an email to Aimee N. with information on where you live and how many you can take. This way, we might have a larger turnout from our group and there will be less cars to park in Berkeley.

April 7, 2001
Trip to Filoli.
Due to lots of interest in the alumnae brunch, we will be moving the trip to Filoli to April 7. If you have a calendar, you'll notice April 7 was the date for the order of the triangle ceremony. This ceremony will be moved to June 2, the date of our annual potluck/elections meeting.

June 2, 2001 - 11am in San Jose
Order of the Triangle Ceremony
Join us for our end-of-the-year potluck at Kathleen Q's. During this event we will also be holding an Order of the Triangle; coordinated by Maxine. This is a ceremony for anyone who wasn't able to participate when they graduated. It's a lot of fun and we're looking forward to it! This is always a relaxing event where we eat and catch up on things.


Help support Panhellenic....
Kathleen and Paddy, Sigma Kappa Panhellenic delegates, have been helping to plan this year's Panhellenic fundraiser which supports the scholarships given to high school students. In the past, this was a raffle fundraiser where we bought raffle tickets. This year, a new fundraiser has been proposed. There is no event or raffle, it is a simple monetary donation of your choice. The money will be given to up to three high school seniors, honoring their accomplishments as young women and encouraging their membership in a National Panhellenic Sorority at the college they will attend. By receiving this honor, it encourages young women to join sororities and keep up their hard work. This also helps the San Jose Panhellenic keep in touch with high school seniors and encourage them to grow in every aspect of their lives. We also know how expensive it is to attend college and this just helps them out that much more. In addition, they will see what a great group we are! Please contact Kathleen for more info.
