April 2002 NewsletterPottery PaintingAt our March event, 14 women gathered to chat and paint pottery at Cafe
Monet. It was a great time to share stories and show off our creative side.
If you haven’t yet picked up your piece, it is ready for you to get
when you have a chance. During the evening, we took a little break and passed
the slate for the incoming officers. They are as follows: President - Melissa
Cox ( Message from MelissaI'm looking forward to serving as your alumnae president. I hope I can fill those big shoes left by Carrie! Thanks Carrie for all your hard work and dedication. I will be working this summer with the other executive members to plan the upcoming year. If you have any suggestions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact any of us. My home phone is 513-522-6698 and my home-mail is mscox_2000@yahoo.com. Additionally, I am looking forward to representing our chapter at this year's June convention. I hope to return with great new ideas and lots of enthusiasm. Lunch at the Bon BonnerieWe will be going to the Bon Bonnerie on Saturday, April 20th at Flower Sale 2002We have made a change of plans with our annual Flower Sale. Due to the major competition we face with other groups selling hanging and bedding plants during the spring, we have decided to sell fall mums and decorative cabbage. This will allow us to have a very easy fund-raiser as well as beautifying homes later in the year. You will be sent order forms in August for pick-up in September. As always, you are welcome to ask friends, neighbors and family to buy flowers as well. Welcome Micki!Several alumnae had the honor of being present at Micki Glotfelter’s initiation in March. It was very touching to watch as she shared this special moment with her mother, Carol Glotfelter. Micki, welcome to our sisterhood. You are a wonderful young lady who we are very excited to have among us, and we look forward to helping you any way we can! Some Final Thoughts From CarrieIt’s hard to believe that this is the last newsletter that I’ll be sending to you. The past two years of serving as your Alumnae President have been exciting and rewarding. Many people work very hard to plan exciting events and to communicate as best as we can to all of you while also balancing family, work and other volunteer commitments. Without these volunteers, we would not have a chapter. First and foremost, I have to thank Carol Glotfelter. Her support has been unwavering, and I am thankful to have her as my sister. Carol, I’m so glad I was always able to ask you for advice and know I was hearing an opinion that was honest and encouraging. Thank you! Kate O’Hara, Erin Messersmith and Michelle Moody have served as Ivy Connection Co-Chairs, and their excitement and energy have taken that group to the next level. I am very saddened knowing that Erin and Kate will no longer be members of our chapter as they are moving out of the area. I am honored to have gotten to know you and will miss you both very much. Our chapter is as strong as it is because of this group thanks to the leadership of these women. I have enjoyed working with Katie Meyer, Christina Dennin and Michelle Proffitt as VP of Programming, Panhel Representative and Treasurer, respectively. I’ve learned so much in the last two years, and I am sad to see it ending. I am very excited to see what the new Board has in store for us. They will do a great job, and I urge you to share your ideas with them. This is your chapter, and I know they will work hard for you.
