It’s Flower Sale Time!
Enclosed is a copy of this year’s flower order form.
Mary Ann Mangold has provided us with a great selection.
Orders are due to Mary Ann by Saturday, May 12. Pick up
has been moved to Saturday, May 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. The later date ensures that the plants will be best
quality the grower can provide. Be sure to ask friends,
family and neighbors if they are interested in ordering
from us. Thanks for supporting our group with your orders!
Spring Event
It’s off to the races we go! On Saturday, April 28
at 12:00 p.m., we will be meeting at River Downs to watch
live racing while we enjoy lunch. We need a minimum of 20
to have lunch provided to us. Please RSVP to Katie Meyer
at meyerkate@aol.com.
Parking prices range from $2-3 and seating ranges from
free grandstand seating to $5. We will decide as a group
where we will sit the day of the event.
Heart Ball 2001
The Heart Ball was on Saturday, February 17 at the
Northern Kentucky Convention Center and raised almost $270,000
for cardiac research. It was fun a filled evening of
dinner and dancing with a large, diverse silent auction
and some live auction items, too.
Carol Glotfelter was chairwoman of the silent auction.
Mary Ellen Trunick assisted with the guest list and was
instrumental in organizing the silent auction the week
before the event.
It's a fun event for a great cause. Next year we’ll
try to have an Alpha Phi table!
Regional Conference
Our Regional Conference was held in February, and Kate O’Hara
was our delegate. She “had a great time at the
conference...I was able to meet with other alumnae
representatives and exchange ideas for programming,
newsletters, and member retention.”
“Many groups are interested in targeting younger
members and were interested in our Ivy Connection group.
It was great to have time to interact with collegiate
chapters as well to learn what they would like alumni
chapters to do in support of their chapters.”
Regional Leadership
International is currently accepting applications for
Regional Managers. Regional Managers take office in the
Spring of the non-Convention year and serve for a term of
two years. The primary role is to facilitate
communication within the region, identify and analyze the
Regions needs, challenges and opportunities, and
recommend actions to be taken. The Regional Manager is
instrumental in the resolution of issues, and works in
collaboration with the Executive Office, regional team
members and local volunteers to coordinate resources to
ensure Alpha Phi strength regionally. The Regional
Manager shall act as a spokesperson to the region on
behalf of Alpha Phi International Fraternity.

Phis and Food
Unfortunately our wine tasting had to be cancelled. We
were notified by Chateau Pomije that the restaurant would
not be open the evening of February 20 because they did
not have enough reservations to make it a profitable
night for them. If there is an interest, we will
reschedule the event for next year.
