ALUMNAE BULLETIN
ALUMNAE, ALERT!! BE ALERT to all of the opportunities open to you to strengthen the growth and further the interest of our fine Alpha Sigma Alpha organization. Your effort will pay off in greater personal satisfaction than you can imagine. Better still, you will be keeping alive the means for another generation of young women to receive from Alpha Sigma Alpha the fruits of active, wholesome sorority life, and the joy of participating in it. College women-the active members-cannot alone do the whole job of building the sorority. They need alumnae to provide guidance and backing. Interested, forward looking, understanding alumnae! One group without the other cannot grow. Each is dependent upon the other. As an interested alumna you can take part by being a member of an alumnae chapter that meets periodically and by helping your local alumnae chapter become aware of the work of the sorority. There is also the less frequent but very real opportunity that is present for referral of likely candidates to the proper college Alpha Sigma Alpha membership committee. Some tangible good that you can do right now is to order a copy of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Cookbook for your own use, and one as a gift for a
friend. Why not? Included are recipes that have been time-tested with satisfaction guaranteed in the kitchens of many Alpha Sigma Alpha sister members. Important, too, is our magazine subscription program. Through it you are not only sure of immediate results by getting value received for your money (You can't buy magazines for less!), but also, at the same time, part of what you pay provides funds that make possible a scholarship for some talented student for advanced study in the field of mental retardation. First, though, you must be aware, and alert to an opportunity. Then there is the motivation to act, for, you see, only as something is done with any opportunity can an effect for good be realized. That is the reason for this discussion-to help keep us alert to our opportunities. We know that an organization which has a worthwhile purpose and a membership actively striving to attain it, assures itself of a bright future. We've got what it takes in Alpha Sigma Alpha to build solidly and well. Let's use it! MARY E. BLACKSTONE National President
It was with deep regret that the resignation of Jean C. Richard (Mrs. Clayton A. ) was received and accepted, effective March 1, 1963. Mrs. Richard felt it was advisable to retire from both the offices of National Treasurer and Central Office Executive. For many years Jean has devoted great physical and mental energy in the work of Alpha Sigma Alpha, both as an active alumna and as a national officer. She did much in developing the Central Office into an efficient operation, with accurate records of many thousands of college and alumnae members. We extend to her our best wishes in the years ahead. The duties of the Central Office Executive and the responsibilities of the position of Treasurer have been delegated to and assumed by Margaret Nelson (Mrs. Harry P.), who, for a number of years, was a member of the Central Office staff. 1
