Thanks For Supporting Arthritis Research! And You Can Still Support it More!

We wanted to thank everyone who came out and walked or donated or even just thought about Arthritis during our recent Boston Arthritis Walk to Strike Out Arthritis. The sunshine came out and it was great to be active with some of our alums and current Delta Chapter members too!


In case you are in need of a massage as the summer season changes to fall, you can still help out our philanthropy by booking a massage or facial through Massage Envy on October 12th! They have agreed to donate $10 from every massage or facial to The Arthritis Foundation, so what could be a better deal than that? Click here for more information!

And don’t forget about Book Club this upcoming weekend and our Apple and Pumpkin Picking Trip on October 1st!

Here are links to both events on facebook, or always feel free to email us too!

Help the Delta Chapter with Recruitment!





Here is a message from from the Recruitment Adviser for the Delta Chapter at Tufts:

Hey Boston AOIIs!
I am the new recruitment adviser for the Delta chapter. We are already starting to prepare for recruitment. On Sunday, September 11th the sisters of the Delta Chapter at Tufts University will be preparing for recruitment and need the help of local alum rom 5:30-6:00pm at the AOII house at Tufts (25 Whitfield Rd., Somerville, MA )2144). It ‘s very short but it will definitely help them a ton to have us there. This chapter is already working hard and now they need help from the alum!
Please come if you are free!
Roses,
Susanna

If that date doesn’t work, recruitment will be September 19th-21st at their chapter house and there will be other opportunities then, so feel free to email Susanna for more info there too!

Where are my dues going?

Although joining the Boston AOII Alumnae Chapter is lots of fun, you may be wondering what your $50 ($34 for Life Loyal and $15 for First Year’s on Us). Here’s a quick run-down:

  • Operating Fees- This part of your dues helps keep IHQ running and providing great resources for all members.
  • Education and Training Fees- Wondering how AOII is able to put on awesome events like Convention and Leadership Institute? You’re making it possible!
  • Technology Fee- As we become less paper-centric, chapters (collegiate and alumnae) have increased technology needs.
  • Local Dues- This part of your dues allows us to plan awesome events, give alumnae members discounted prices for things like Founder’s Day, etc.

In addition to dues, we supplement the money coming into the alumnae chapter with good, old-fashioned fundraising. You can help by supporting our gift card program: Purchase gift cards for places that you frequent every day (Whole Foods, Target, Starbucks), and the Alumnae Chapter receives a percentage of your purchase. Visit Shop With Scrip to see all the companies that are offered. For more information, email bostonaoii@gmail.com OR talk to someone at one of our next events!
