This Founder's Day "Everything's Coming Up Roses"

Phoenix alumnae observed Founder's Day on October 23rd with an "Everything's Coming Up Roses" brunch. Table centerpieces were gift bags containing pink silk roses and other flowers, each alum wore a small pink-rose corsage and program covers showing the six founders also had small pink roses.

Entertainment consisted of a "Kitchen Haute Couture" style show of aprons for every month of the year. Jane Prall, Gamma Zeta, modeled two of her hats and gloves from the 1950's.

Barbara Gallaher, Alpha Epsilon, was inducted into the Order of the Pearl for her 65 years of membership in Delta Zeta. Lorna Green, Alpha Beta, presided over the presentation of a beautiful yellow rose, a certificate of recognition from the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter and a glass candleholder etched with a rose design.

The meeting closed with a traditional Founder's Day ceremony and the singing of "Delta Zeta Lamps Are Burning." It was a lovely morning of a sisterhood.
