Meetings

It is so hard for us to get together and just have some fun as sisters that we decided that instead of a formal meeting in the summer months we would just get together.  For June, we decided to meet at Hibatchi's in Charleston to have an entertaining evening and good food.  

Amy Hendershot, Amy Kozielec Griffith, Heather Tanner Walker, Tammy Mynes St.Clair, Hope Adkins Fout, Christa Cox Milsap, June Starks Ferrel, and Kristi Sampson Legg all found a bunch of fun in Flying shrimp, flaming tables and chopstick lessons!  Want to see some pictures?  Click here.

The Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Amy Kennedy Thurman's house in Scott Depot.  With the start-up of summer upon us, there were very few members who could find time to meet this month, so an informal meeting was held.  Amy Hendershot, Amy Kozielec Griffith, Hope Adkins Fout, Tammy Mynes St.Clair, Mia Burlingame Ferguson, and Amy Kennedy Thurman were in attendance.  (Wow!  Three out the 6 were Amy's!)

The scrapbook party that was planned for this month's program was cancelled due to the scheduling conflicts.  We hope to have Amy's presentation sometime in the fall.

The Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Kristi Sampson Legg's house in Dunbar for the April meeting.  We had many old faces and several new faces there with Amy Hendershot, Kristi Legg, Libby Akers, Heather Morris, Tammy St.Clair, Amy Griffith, Susan Nichols, Christa Milsap, Lori Shaffer, Lesley Ridenhour, and Heather Walker in attendance.

Being so close to Easter, Kristi had us all ready for the Easter bunny with egg dye, baskets, candy and bunnies.  We had a great time creating our tiny works of art!  Want to see some pictures?  Click here.

The Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Tammy Mynes St.Clair's house in Hurricane for the March meeting.  We had the biggest turnout yet with Tammy St.Clair, Amy Kozielec Griffith, Amy Hendershot, Mia Burlingame Ferguson, Emily Miller, Diana Conner Eades, Kristi Sampson Legg, Missy Hatfield, Amy Kennedy Thurman, Hope Adkins Fout, Christa Cox Milsap, and Heather Morris all in attendance.

After the meeting, a baby shower was held for Amy K. Griffith.  It was a total surprise for her--we couldn't believe that we pulled it off without her knowing.  Baby Cora is due on April 19th.  To see pictures of the meeting & baby shower, click here.

The Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Heather Morris' apartment in Charleston.  Heather Morris, Andrea Underwood Lefkay, Susan Williams Nichols, Stephanie Mills, Kristi Sampson Legg, Hope Adkins Fout, Emily Miller, Amy Kozielec Griffith, Tammy Mynes St.Clair, and Amy Hendershot attended the meeting.

A phone tree was created so that we can try to get more people to attend the monthly meetings.

The Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Stephanie Mills' house in Adena Village.  Those in attendance included Amy Hendershot, Mia Burlingame Ferguson, Susan Williams Nichols, Stephanie Mills, Libby Williams Akers, Heather Morris, Hope Adkins Fout, Amy Kozielec Griffith, Heather Tanner Walker and many of the active sisters of the Gamma Mu chapter.

At this meeting, we discussed the chapter's dues, our philanthropy projects for the year, and social events.  We are hoping to get more alumnae involved--particularly those outside of Gamma Mu. 

The program for the evening was a Family Tree party.  We wanted to show the active sisters of Gamma Mu how we had all been related throughout the years.  Many of our alumnae still had branches of their trees that contained active sisters. 

The first official meeting of our Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae chapter met at Hope Adkins Fout's home in Alum Creek.  Those in attendance included Amy Hendershot, Mia Burlingame Ferguson, Susan Williams Nichols, Stephanie Mills, Libby Williams Akers, Heather Morris, Tammy Mynes St. Clair, Melissa Hatfield, Hope Adkins Fout, and  Amy Kozielec Griffith. 

All officers were elected, dues and programs were discussed, and many plans were being made.  We are all looking forward to getting our philanthropy project underway, collect all of our dues, help our the Gamma Mu chapter, and then get inducted as an official Alumnae Chapter sometime in early Spring 2000.

The program for the evening included our host, Hope, showing us all how to make chocolate candies.  She makes her own candies for Christmas, Easter and the like and was thrilled to have us all covered in chocolate.  It was great fun!
