The Austin Alumnae Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha formally invites you to kick off the year at the home of Mary Walcutt on September 17th at 6:30 p.m. Join us for a light dinner and learn about all the exciting activities we have planned for the women of ZTA this year!
This year, we will be collecting all types of school supplies for the “For the Children” group; a non-profit organization that serves 10 Central Texas school districts in need. Grab some extra pencils, pens, notebook paper, notebooks, binders, markers, crayons, glue or rulers and help out your local Austin area schools!
Also, your local Austin Alumnae chapter funds a scholarship in the name of Mary and Bruce Walcutt. We will be hosting a raffle at the kick-off dinner to raise funds for this outstanding and honorable scholarship and giving away some fantastic prizes. You can purchase 5 tickets for $10 or 12 tickets for $20. You won’t want to forget your checkbook!
For directions to the Home of Mary Walcutt, please contact austinzta@gmail.com.
Take advantage of the early bird special and sign up for the 2009-2010 year before the kick-off party! Forms available here.
The temps may still be saying “Summer,” but the arrival of Pink Yoplait Lids in the grocery stores are telling us Fall has arrived! Yoplait is celebrating the 11th Anniversary of Save Lids to Save Lives, and 2009 marks the 6th year ZTA has partnered in the campaign.
The Pink Lid collection goal for the Austin Alumnae is 1,000 lids. With 10 weeks remaining in the campaign, this should be a very attainable goal for us! Collection information and materials will be available at the Kick Off Meeting, September 17th. If you are unable to attend the meeting, contact Jen Jefferson and she will arrange to get the materials to you.
In the meantime, spread the word to your friends, neighbors and co-workers: Collect Pink Lids (and don’t forget to rinse them)! Remember, only lids that are sent into ZTA International Office and labeled Austin Area Alumnae will count toward our 1,000 lid goal!

Zeta Facts
The Founders chose Themis to represent the Fraternity. Themis is, in Greek mythology, one of the Titans, daughter of Gaea (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven), and the mother of the three Fates and the Seasons. The goddess of divine justice and law, Themis was the constant companion of the god Zeus and sat beside him on Olympus. In ancient art she is represented holding aloft a pair of scales on which she weighs the claims of opposing parties.
