State Altruistic Project
We are still collecting donations for the Ronald McDonald House “Heart as a Legacy of Hope” in Little Rock. Any money left after the heart is purchased will go to the Arkoma Ronald McDonald Houses in Fayetteville, Rogers, and Fort Smith. We have already collected $1,780.00. The Little Rock Heart costs $1,000.00, so we are working toward donations to the other Ronald McDonald Houses now. Awesome sisters!!!!
Alpha Chapter
Alpha Chapter ate at Larry’s Pizza and then went shopping for two angel tree children.
Alpha Epsilon
AR Alpha Epsilon ‘s Christmas party was at Hunan’s. Toys and clothing for two Angel tree kids were collected including a bike and Barbie house. Then a left, right and across story had the sisters passing the dirty santa gifts all around the room before each ended up with a gift. Fun was had by all.
Nu Chapter
I was able to visit Nu chapter for their Christmas potluck. Nu sisters had a silent auction that raised $239 in Ways and Means income.

ATTENTION HISTORIANS by Patty Snipes, State Historian
As Historians I hope you’ve been taking lots of pictures of your chapter. I am working on the archives for our State President, Chanetta Case. She would like to have a page or two representing your chapter. I have given you a sample of a design. I used PowerPoint which would be fine for you to use unless you have another program you are comfortable with.
Be sure to include: list of officers, picture of your group, picture of your officers, pictures of some of your meetings or pictures of doing Altruistic projects.
3 options to send them:
1. If you are not comfortable with PowerPoint or using a computer and would rather create a page on scrapbook paper you can mail it to me. 8 ½ x 11.
Patty Snipes, 120 Taylor Park Loop, LR, AR, 72211
2. You can mail me the pictures with captions or names attached.
3. Email information to me – plsnipes@sbcglobal.net
Please get this to me ASAP or at least by January. Start planning what you want on the page to represent your chapter.
