ALUMNAE CHAPTER LETTERS

NEW YORK

The New York Alumnae Chapter has started the year with great
enthusiasm. Our first meeting on September 26 was a luncheon meeting
at The Kopper Kettle in Greenwich Village. W i t h the garden tea room
all to ourselves, and with thirty Alpha O's attending, we made an excellent
beginning.

This year promises to surpass all others for real accomplishment, real
Alpha O good fellowship and genuine good times. We shall concentrate
particularly on selling the stock for the Panhellenic House, and not one
Alpha O in our vicinity shall miss the opportunity of doing her bit. We
expect from Mrs. Glantzberg and Margaret Proche a whirlwind campaign
which will empty the purse of many an Alpha O and fill the coffers of the
Panhellenic House Association.

Edith Dietz announced that attractive quarters for the Panhellenic Club
had been secured at 17 East 62nd Street, and explained the requirements
for membership together with the advantages of such a membership.

We are putting into effect this year the plan of transacting all business
possible at the monthly executive committee meetings so that the regular
meetings of the chapter may be largely social. I n this way we may look
forward to jolly good times and the making of hosts of real friends this
year.

SAN FRANCISCO

Before we speak of our activities this fall, we wish to thank our retir-
ing President, Franees Howard, for her untiring efforts in behalf of the
chapter. Frances gave unlimited time and thought during her successful
year and we sincerely appreciate her loyalty, patience and kindness. Eliza-
beth Roberts was elected to take her place, but before the first meeting of
the new year Elizabeth left for Chicago. We are sorry to lose her but
wish her success. Margaret Eddy was appointed to her place and we
know from the beginning that she will make a splendid president.

Our last report was in May, just before our afternoon for the Seniors.
About forty-five of us gathered at Olive Freuler's hospitable home for
luncheon and bridge in honor of our girls who were graduating from
Sigma and Lambda. I t was a most successful day and we will not soon
forget it.

Our June meeting was held at the lovely new home of Florence Weeks.
Florence's home was burned in the big Berkeley fire and this new one is
built on the foundations of the first one. I t was a treat to us all to see it.

In August the meeting was held at the home of Margaret Eddy. The
report of Convention was given and it was most enthusiastic. The Sigma
and Lambda girls surely had a wonderful and profitable time.

The September and October meetings were held at the chapter house.
We are making extensive plans f o r a rummage sale to be held next month.
We are taking active steps toward helping several charity cases.

Please remember that we most gladly welcome any Alpha O's who
come our way.'

PROVIDENCE

Providence Alumnae have been most inactive (as a body) since our
August letter. We are to meet with Louella Darling on Saturday, the
tenth. This time we have to report two changes of residence: Jennie
(Perry) Prescott is now residing at 61 Mulberry St., Pawtucket, R. I .
