Please help support the Austin Alumnae Panhellenic Association (AAPA) Scholarship Fund with the purchase of a cookbook!  The cookbooks, titled “From Our Kitchen to Yours” contain collections of 3×5  size recipes cards, there are 100’s of mouth watering recipes from Alumnae around Austin and even some of the coveted house kitchen recipes.

Over the past 10 years, five scholarships have been provided to Zetas from AAPA.  We only give one or two a year depending on the amount of money we raise with our fundraisers. The cookbook and the annual awards luncheon are our two big fundraisers. The amount of the scholarship is usually $1000. The application and information letters are on the Panhellenic website at www.austinpanhellenic.org/scholarship.

The cookbooks are $12 each or 2 for $20.  Please contact Tricia Dugan to purchase your cookbook!

The first meeting for the 2008-2009 year was a great success. 60+ members gathered at Mary Walcutt’s house on the evening of September 11th for a light dinner and meeting to discuss the year’s events. Great focus was turned to the new events included in the schedule as well as the Celebration of Life Luncheon. Members also generously donated boxes full of school supplies that were donated to the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders. If you couldn’t make it, we’d love to see you at the next event. See the calendar for more details.

Austin Alumnae member, Dinah Laughery, was elected and installed as the new Secretary-Treasurer for the National Council during Convention this summer in Tucson, Arizona.

Also at National Convention, the Austin Alumnae chapter was recognized in the Founder’s Club for donating $25,000 to $49,999 to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation over the biennium. We were also honored as a Crown Chapter.

Congratulations!
