Fall Update

Dear AXO Parents,
Recruitment is right around the corner and many of the girls are already spending countless hours planning to make this year the most successful one yet.  But as always, they need our support! The chapter is currently in need of parent volunteers and donations for Formal Recruitment.     I have had the opportunity to assist behind the scenes during several of the recruitment events.  It was a fantastic opportunity to get to meet other parents, get to know Mom Jane and Kathy better, and have a greater appreciation for all of the hard work and dedication our daughters put into this very important event.
This year, volunteers are needed for AM, PM, and full day shifts on the following dates:
                        Wednesday, August 6    (Open House Round Day 1)           9:30 - 5:45
Thursday, August 7         (Open House Round Day 2)          9:30 - 5:45
Friday, August 8              (Philanthropy Round)                    8:30 - 7:40
                        Saturday, August 9          (Skit Round)                                 9:15 - 7:30
                        Sunday, August 10           (Preference Round)                     10:30 - 5:40
                        Monday, August 11         (BID DAY!!!!!)                           10:00 - 2:00

In addition to volunteers, the chapter is looking for donations.  Currently, they need cases of mini Ozarka water, ANY SNACKS, and $5-10 gift cards (Starbucks, Fuzzys, WalMart, or any place in Stillwater) for prizes to use during the week. Let me know if you are able to send any of these items!
If you are able to help in any way, please contact me at my personal email lkfberger@gmail.com,  the  AXO Parents Club email at AXOparentsokstate@gmail.com , or on my cell phone at 918-939-9924. 
It’s also that time to renew your AXO Parent’s Club membership. The new board is looking forward to working together to support the girls! You can always contact me or the other officers (Kris Wilson, Vice President, Sharon Casillas, Treasurer, or Patricia Rice, Secretary).

 I would like to encourage everyone to join the AXO Parent’s Club, as 100% of your membership dues go directly into fun activities for our daughters.  The annual membership fee is still $50.00 per family, and we will make every effort to keep you updated as to how that money is being spent.   We are already planning a Sundae Party during Spirit Week, providing donations for recruitment, food for finals, a Christmas decorating party, and asking the chapter to provide a “wish list” each semester to make sure we are supporting the CHAPTER and their needs in the best way possible.   We still plan on doing fundraising through Parent’s Club t-shirts, Greek Spirit wear, Mom’s day Auction. 

We are committed to communicating to all active Parent’s Club members through our blog, Facebook page and emails. We have updates from all of our new officers, quarterly financial information, dates of upcoming events at the house AND parent’s club meetings, club bylaws, and volunteer opportunities.   Please take a moment to check out the blog and subscribe at:   AXOparentsokstate.blogspot.com and don’t forget to friend us on FaceBook (AlphaChi Omega Parents)!

I have added a membership form for the parents club above.  We hope to have lots of moms AND dads volunteer throughout the year, so make sure sign up to help and list those special talents.  You can return on Bid Day or via mail to AXO Parents Club.  c/o Sharon Casillas,  , Tulsa, OK .  PLEASE MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO AXO Parents Club.
All of us on the board welcome your feedback.  Again, please feel free to email the Parent’s Club or contact me or other officers directly with question, concerns, or ideas to help make this year great!
 I look forward to seeing you all in August!
