Los Angeles Westside Alumnae Association

2003-2004 President’s Letter


 

Dear Delta Gamma Sisters:

 

Welcome to Los Angeles West Association of Delta Gamma!  My name is Carolyn Sperry and I am the president of the Westside Association.  We have a number of fun activities planned for the year to support Delta Gamma and to provide time to socialize with your sisters.

 

THE DOWNLOW ON DELTA GAMMA HERE IN LA

 

As you can see, there are so many opportunities to take part in Delta Gamma activities.  We all lead busy lives so attend when you can.  Obviously the largest and most traditional event is Founders Day, but there are lots of other events in which you can participate.  And numerous events are open to friends, spouses and significant others.

 

CALL FOR OFFICERS!  We’d like to boost membership, keep up with paperwork, and allow our Delta Gamma relationships to thrive.  That requires officers.  Currently our group is looking for the following:

 

  • Treasurer – assist in the financial health of the organization/deposit dues checks/fill out the really simple tax form due to the IRS once a year (it’s really easy—trust me, I’ve done it)
  • Secretary – assist in the maintenance in all paperwork due to Delta Gamma Executive Offices
  • Vice-President – assist in planning events/keeping up with the calendar

 

None of these positions are extremely time consuming when responsibilities are shared.  Please step up and volunteer your time and talents.  And please let me know if you have other talents you would like to contribute to the betterment of Delta Gamma.

 

$$ DUES, DUES, DUES $$   Membership and membership dues are a necessity. Your financial support of the organization is a lifelong commitment and we do need you to pay dues.  If you have already paid your annual membership dues, thank you very much.  If you haven’t, get your checkbook ready.  Please send a $35 check made out to LA West of Delta Gamma and send it to Carolyn Sperry, 1122 South Holt Avenue #1, LA, CA  90035.   A portion of your dues goes to our Executive Offices while the rest is used to cover mass mailings, donations to philanthropies, and, once in a while, a DG event.

 

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?  Finally, what do you want Delta Gamma to do for you?  Provide social activities?  Assist in job networking?  Provide philanthropic opportunities?  Ideas in the past have included starting a book club, hosting a career night for collegians, creating our own large fundraising activity.  Let me know what floats your boat.
