Recap: Lunch Bunch & Lyre Ladies

Lunch Bunch and Lyre Ladies had their first meetups this month. We had a great turnout for both groups and look forward to the October gatherings.

Lunch Bunch met at the Bristol East on Tuesday, 9/4. Everyone had a wonderful time visiting with one another and the food was great as always (several of us highly recommend the new quesadilla on the menu!).

 Lyre Ladies met for drinks and appetizers at Harvest Restaurant in the NuLu District on Tuesday, 9/11. This was a great opportunity to meet some younger alums who work downtown and check out an area of the city that has experienced tremendous growth and revitalization over the last couple years.

September Meeting and Dues

Finally - it feels like fall is in the air!

Our first meeting/White Elephant Sale is one week from today. Remember, our meeting will be held at Vicki Warren's home and we will start at 7:00. The address and directions are at the bottom of the post. If there is anyone who needs a ride to the meeting, please let me know by Sunday, September 9 so I can make arrangements for you.

This year, we are asking everyone to fill out a Membership Form to send in with your chapter dues. This will help us in maintaining membership records and updating contact information. Click here to print the form and complete. You can either bring this with you to the meeting or mail it with your dues to our treasurer, Linda Pursell. I will have copies of the form with me at the meeting as well.

One last thing - congratulations to Emma Brown, our ARIC, for being selected as one of the young alumnae to assist the new UNC Wilmington Colony with their Fall 2012 Recruitment! To read more about the new colony, visit Alpha Chi's website.  

LITB,
