Annual Strike Out Arthritis Event a Great Success

The Denver Area Alums will donate about $300 to the Arthritis Research Foundation following another successful Strike Out Arthritis event. On Saturday, Nov. 14 about 30 Denver Area Alums, family and friends bowled for a cure at Splitz Bowling Center in Westminster.

Thanks to Joy Henika for organizing the event!

New Garments Always

Don't forget that we are always collecting new garments and/or school supplies for donation to those in need through the Denver Area Panhellenic. You can bring donations to any meeting throughout the year.

And the Rose Award Goes To...Enwall and Kentish!

The Denver Alums were beaming at International Convention when Mary Enwall and Veronica Kentish both received Rose Awards. The Rose Award honors alumnae who serve AOII solely because of their devotion to the Fraternity, its members and ideals. The award says thank you to loyal alumnae for their lifetime commitment of continuing interest, assistance and dedication to AOII.

Since her initiation in 1966, Mary had served our Fraternity at many levels: Rush Advisor, Chapter Advisor, Alumnae President, Regional Director, Regional Extension Officer, Nominating Trustee and District Alumnae Specialist.

Since her initiation in 1992, Veronica has served AOII as Alumnae President, Chapter Advisor, Chapter Relations Advisor, Recruitment Advisor, Collegiate Network Specialist and Collegiate District Administrator.

Congratulations Mary and Veronica!!!
