Volunteer Opportunity: Letters Needed for AOII Colony Members at University of Nevada Reno
Calling all AOIIs! This Spring AOII colonizes its first collegiate chapter in Nevada - at the University of Nevada, Reno. The Reno Tahoe AC wants to help the colony members understand AOII's global scope through an Alum Chum (alumnae) and Panda Pal (collegian) pen pal program. That's where YOU come in! UNR's campus total is 200+ which means we need A LOT of Alum Chums and Panda Pals! To participate in this program, please write two letters and mail in a single envelope to: Jacie Tallon Peters at 2713 Pamela Place, Minden, NV 89423 by February 1. Please write "ALUM CHUM" if you are an alumna or "PANDA PAL" if you are a collegian on the back of the envelope. Both letters will be given to the same colony member at different points in the membership process. The first letter will be given to a colony member at her first colony meeting. Welcome the new member to AOII and the colony. Introduce yourself, tell her where you live and what you do. Share why YOU choose AOII. If you would like your colony member to contact you, share your contact information as well. The second letter will be given at the first chapter meeting following initiation/installation. Congratulate her on her initiation and the chapter's installation! Share a treasured AOII memory. Thanks for helping our newest members feel the Alpha love!
