Happy Halloween!! Wishing everyone a SPOOKTACULAR evening!

Founders Day October 24

Delta Zeta is celebrating 110 years! The six young women who created this wonderful sorority could not have envisioned its great success. On our Founders Day, October 24, please take a moment to remember and thank them for bringing us all together.

Thank You from Pi Zeta

A note from our sisters at ASU:
Thank you for hosting Founders Day 2012. Pi Zeta appreciates everything you do for us!

Founders Day

At the alum chapter's Founders Day observance, a dessert potluck  in Chandler on October 20, several area alumnae were recognized for membership milestones. Among those honored was 98-year-old Sarah ("Sally") McCann Goodale Jaeggi, who this year became a member of the Order of the Diamond for 75 years as a Delta Zeta. The five honorees present had a combined 265 years of sisterhood. Representatives from Pi Zeta conducted the tribute to our six founders, and Monica Montez, alum chapter vice president, presented certificates and roses to Sarah, Nora Kabat (65), Millie Homan and Priscilla Owens (50), and Marti Benfield Sauers (25).

Luncheon Opportunity

The Sojourner Center is holding its 11th Annual Hope Luncheon on Thursday, November 8, from Noon to 1 p.m. in the Grand Sahuaro Ballroom at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge. Registration for this complimentary luncheon is at 11:30.

As you may be aware, the Phoenix Alumnae Chapter has donated items to Sojourner for more than two decades, and we held our February meeting there this past year. It would be great to have a Delta Zeta table at this fund-raiser luncheon.

So, if you're interested in attending, please let Ann Santos know by October 22nd.

Race for the Cure

I supported the Delta Zeta Alumnae Team (my walking hat was hot pink with a DZ rose!) in today's Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure to honor all our sisters who have conquered or are fighting breast cancer. I also wanted to remember all those defeated by this terrible disease, especially my aunt, Kathryn Hornick Koch, who waged a valiant fight in the early 1970s. With all the research advances since then, today she probably would have had many more years. Thank you to everyone who has tried to make a difference by supporting any of the various programs to find a cure! I hope more alums and their friends and family members will walk or race with us next year.

Ann Santos

We send our sincere condolences to Phoenix alum Berneil Drake, whose husband recently passed away. If you would like to send a message of sympathy and support to Berneil, her address is in the old directory, or contact Ann Santos to get it.

With a Cherry on Top!

Phoenix alums Deb Willey, Mary Pat Pepping, Kristen Thurmond, Ann Haggerty and Ann Santos join Pi Zeta's Kappa Class on the DZ patio at Adelphi during the alum chapter's annual ice cream social for the new members.

Surprise!

Sweet surprise: Several Phoenix DZ alums were among the guests at a recent surprise birthday party for longtime chapter corresponding secretary Karen Lange (back row, second from right). The party was hosted by Karen's daughters, including DZ alum Sue Pickles (back row, second from left), who now lives in Washington state.

Sister Update

My husband Dave and I went to Stevens Point, Ann Santos' collegian stomping grounds in Wisconsin. We were there for a recumbent bike rally last August 10-12! I am standing at the dock near Ludington MI which has the SS Badger ship that crosses Lake Michigan to Wisconsin. Dave is sitting in his dream bike at Stevens Point Hostel Shoppe where the rally took place!
