Ways and Means/Golf Outing Report
January 25, 2008
We now have the fliers to pass out to golfers.
Therefore you now can begin recruiting golfers to
play. Again the outing is May 16, 2009 at Walden
Pond Golf Course.
We are also starting to collect items now for goody
bags that will be given to each participant; therefore
we ask Sorors to begin bring to next sorority meeting.
Also we need sponsors, please begin asking your
employers for their support with this endeavor. Also
we are asking each Soror to obtain two Hole Sponsors
each. Hole Sponsorship is $100. We believe this is
where we can make the most dollars due to the
economy.
Our next meeting will be held Thursday, February 30,
2009 at 7:00 pm at Donatos in Tri-County.
Contact Soror Lisa Rowell at (513) 260-3323 and e-mail

In 1989, the National Social Action Commission instituted Delta Days in the
Nation's Capital, an annual legislative conference to increase members'
involvement in the national public policy-making process. The annual
conference includes legislative briefings, issue forums, and advocacy skills
development. Featured speakers include key policy makers, members of
the United States Congress, Congressional staff members, and national

focus on the issues and concerns that are important to us and our
community.
