The Boston Alumnae Association is proud of its 100 years of service to the community and the fraternity. It is the second-oldest Alpha Xi Delta Alumnae Association, and was a founding member of the Boston Alumnae Panhellenic Association in 1921.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It came into being at the same time as Lambda chapter at Jackson College (now part of Tufts University) in Medford, Massachusetts. The 20 collegiate members and 25 alumnae of a local sorority (Tau Epsilon Sigma) were installed as members of Alpha Xi Delta; the alumnae became the first members of the Boston Alumnae Chapter (now the Greater Boston Alumnae Association.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A prominent founding member of the association was Ruth Sibley Haskell. An early history of the fraternity states: "The innate love of people which made her so loved as a fraternity officer [she served nine years on Alpha Xi Delta's National Council] also made her an earnest worker in the cause of woman suffrage and an untiring Red Cross worker during the [first] World War." She and her husband became benefactors of Tufts University; a scholarship and a dormitory at the university bear their name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this anniversary we celebrate the many Alpha Xi Delta sisters who have contributed to "The Sisterhood of Women" in the Boston area!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7805085-8466194038488508978?l=alphaxideltaboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7805085/posts/default/8466194038488508978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7805085/posts/default/8466194038488508978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alphaxideltaboston.blogspot.com/2007/03/our-centennial-celebration-march-8-1907.html' title='Our Centennial Celebration -- March 8, 1907 - 2007'/><author><name>Jan H.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-5kndSjXclk/SJHMt6hhymI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Xe1Yy0mS2aw/S220/parthena_ganache+128x160.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_-5kndSjXclk/Re93A-56wuI/AAAAAAAAAAg/W4WOXEK0GAg/s72-c/haskell.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805085.post-8995162993928155972</id><published>2007-02-15T21:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-02-15T21:51:24.481-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Save the Date -- April 7, 2007 -- Founders' Day with the WPI Colony</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-5kndSjXclk/RdUbDEpqTiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7bKEZRcIk6s/s1600-h/wpi_logo.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-5kndSjXclk/RdUbDEpqTiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/7bKEZRcIk6s/s200/wpi_logo.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031957898258435618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Boston Alumnae Association will be celebrating its centennial year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Founders' Day&lt;/span&gt; with the Fraternity's newest chapter -- the colony at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

The meeting will be held at Jan H.'s house in Burlington MA. We are supporting Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. This organization is an international non-profit organization dedicated to brightening the lives of seriously ill and hospitalized children and their families through innovative programs that empower, educate, entertain, and inspire. Their website is &lt;a href="http://www.starlightnewengland.org/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.starlightnewengland.org/&lt;/a&gt; if you are interested in finding out more about this organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our meeting on Sunday the 16th will focus on two things. First, we need your energy to help assemble 10 "parties in a box". These boxes will include games, toys, and art supplies. The Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation will supply all of the items, boxes and shipping labels/costs. The assembly usually takes one person about a half-hour. Second, each party box costs about $100. Our group would like to be able to donate at least $100 to Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. Please consider supporting this by donating towards this goal. If you are able to attend on the 16th, you can bring your donation then. If you are unable to attend, contact Jan at &lt;a href="mailto:bostonalphaxi@comcast.net"&gt;bostonalphaxi@comcast.net&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please consider coming to support a wonderful cause and spend a couple of hours socialzing with your sisters! Please RSVP to Jan or Kendra L. by Friday October 14th. If you are able to attend, we will also need your help to ship a party box. All of the shipping cost are covered, we just need help taking the boxes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7805085-112896794752460826?l=alphaxideltaboston.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7805085/posts/default/112896794752460826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7805085/posts/default/112896794752460826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alphaxideltaboston.blogspot.com/2005/10/support-starlight-starbright-on.html' title='Support Starlight Starbright on October 16'/><author><name>Jan H.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-5kndSjXclk/SJHMt6hhymI/AAAAAAAAAFc/Xe1Yy0mS2aw/S220/parthena_ganache+128x160.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805085.post-112896716965036693</id><published>2005-10-10T13:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-10-10T13:59:29.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A Day in the Park</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3239/499/1600/AlphaXiDeltaDeCordova05crop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3239/499/320/AlphaXiDeltaDeCordova05crop.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alpha Xi Deltas and their families met at the DeCordova Museum sculpture park for an early fall picnic in September.

Please don't be intimidated by the idea of making something for the sale -- we don't need anything fancy (the highest bid in the past was around $15) -- typical items include baked goods, jams, gift tags and holiday cards, candy wreaths, gifts in jars (cookie mixes, etc.),  holiday ornaments, embroidered bookmarks, decorated votives, and so on. There are plenty of ideas on the internet. But, if you aren't handy and don't bake, just come along, chat with sisters,  and bid on items to raise funds for a Choose Children charity!
