was our delegate; Judy Kaiser Dean, Jackie Willman and Jane Delanty Robinson also attended. During the first September meeting, at Nancy Mott Hanson's home we organized and planned for the months ahead. One of the scheduled activities, a fall rummage sale, was most successful. And, on October 17 we sponsored a Homecoming breakfast at the Beta House at Central Michigan University ( C.M.U.). Founders' Day was marked jointly with our closest Collegiate Chapter, Beta, on November 4. Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal at the Embers Restaurant in Mt. Pleasant. Of primary importance was the Christmas Bazaar scheduled for the first week in December. Under the able direction of Bazaar Chairman, Carla Almquist Young, we tried our hands at ceramics. Combining talents and energy we created a variety of Christmas candle-holders, candy dishes and candles. ot only was this a profitable venture, but we also learned the skills of working with ceramics. The bazaar took place in Midland and Saginaw. December found Alumnae and their youngsters at the home of Ann Coman ANGHOR
WHEN Washington, D. C., Alumnae met in September with Margaret Bowers and Betty Chew as hostesses, they eagerly awaited Meda Ray Sewell's report of the Detroit Convention. She brought messages from former Washington Alumnae and other friends , and briefly reviewed the Convention program. At the same meeting, the group began their year's main project, local social service, by making plans to help an underprivileged family of six. A most enjoyable dinner party was held at the home of Mary Louise Doyle in October. Each member brought a favorite dish. Founders' Day was observed at the Village House in Falls Church, Virginia . Again the girls enjoyed a lovely meal and an impressive program. The December meeting, with Barbara Grubbs and Martha Jones as co-hostesses, proved to be most interesting (as Christmas meetings usually are) with games and food and Christmas plans. The group continued their social service interest by arranging to buy gifts for six small children. January's meeting with Betty Sue Glaeser and Margaret Basilone revealed some items of interest which are unusual : Helen Sours, real estate agent, was selected saleswoman of the month for selling over two million dollars worth of real estate; Juanita Ritch's son, West Point student, has been selected as a Rhodes Scholar; Betty Chew planned to attend the District Ladies Reception and Inaugural Ball.
