Happy 100th, Peggy!

On Sunday, December 12 we will be joining Margaret (Peggy) C. to celebrate her 100th birthday in Arlington MA. Margaret became a member of Alpha Xi Delta in 1922 when she was a student at Jackson College (now part of Tufts University.) She worked as an English teacher in Lexington, MA before her marriage, and was active in community and fraternity life as a volunteer for many, many years. She also worked as a proofreader well into her 90s! Contact Jan at bostonalphaxi@comcast.net if you would like to attend Sunday's event, or to send a card to Margaret.

Thanks, ladies!

Thanks to those who attended today's craft and bake sale -- even though we had a small group, we raised over $100 for Globe Santa. My photos didn't come out well, alas, so you'll just have to imagine the gala festivities!

Join us on Nov. 14 to benefit Globe Santa!

Bidding at last year's charity bake/craft sale

Nov. 14 Holiday Party/Auction to Benefit Globe Santa

We've decided to make Globe Santa the beneficiary of proceeds from our 3rd annual craft/bake sale and holiday party on Sunday, November 14. We'll be meeting at the home of Jean L. in Andover, Massachusetts at 2:30 p.m. for hot cider, desserts, socializing, and a silent auction of homemade crafts and bake items. 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! Contact Jan at bostonalphaxi@comcast.net for details and directions.
