Fall 2010
Hello Tri Deltas!
My first year as your Phoenix Valley Alumnae Chapter President was wonderful! Our monthly events, happy hours, book club, lunch bunch and more, kept us all very busy. 2010-2011 will prove to be another fun-filled and busy year and we are excited to announce some new events including a wine tasting and a family picnic!
We are thankful for all of the new and loyal active members we have had this past year and hope you will join us again for another great year!
We are always eager to see new people at our events so whether you are new to the area, have never joined the alumnae chapter or haven't been to an event in a while, we would love to see you! I really encourage you all to come check us out. We have an amazing group of women from new graduates, to retirees, to everyone in between.
The women in this group are outstanding and I am proud to call them friends. I am very grateful that I decided to take a chance and join this group when I moved to the Phoenix area 6 years ago. I hope that you will do the same. We want to see you! We are offering a new option for dues at the reduced rate of $32 for not only recent grads and snowbirds but also if you’ve never been a member of this group before. So if you have never been a member of the Phoenix Valley Alumnae Chapter before, regardless of your graduation date it’s time to see what we are all about!
Our first official event of the new year is the Membership Coffee. This will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2010 from 10am-12pm at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale. We will mix and mingle, eat and socialize, and talk about all the fun and meaningful activities we have planned for the upcoming year!
We will be sending e-vites on the upcoming events, so if you have not provided us or the national office with an up to date email address please email dddcommunication@gmail.com to be added to our list.
The Phoenix Valley Alumnae Chapter is very proud of all we do. Not only do we have a great time together and have many fun social events, we also have a great philanthropic effort. For many years we have donated funds to Childrens’ Cancer charities: Camp Sunrise, a retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families and Steele Children’s Research Center at the University of Arizona. In addition, we support Ronald McDonald House by sponsoring one of the guest rooms and we have also established a Scholarship fund through the Tri Delta Foundation. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed as we were honored at the 2010 Tri Delta Convention! We received an honorable mention for Alumnae Chapter Philanthropy and we were ranked 5th overall in Tri Delta Foundation Donations between 2008-2010!
I sincerely mean it when I say that I hope to see you at an upcoming event. If you need anything at all, please feel free to contact me at dnariss@cox.net or 602-418-8761.
Donnelly Nariss Maysey, President
