We Painted Out Arthritis at The Paint Bar!
This past weekend, we raised over $600 for arthritis research while painting away at The Paint Bar! AOII Boston Alumnae and friends were instructed step-by-step in how to paint the painting of the day: “Comm Ave in Winter.”

We started out by pumping out the correct number of pumps for each paint color needed and then our instructor guided us on how to outline the pathways, houses, and eventually all of the snow and trees too! And for those of us needing some more motivation or artistic direction, there were snacks, beer, wine, and mimosas for purchase as well and some of the best $1 pizza slices next door!
This was a great learning experience for us all, and everyone got to take home their own little masterpiece! Hooray for our first ever Painting out Arthritis Fundraiser! And thanks to The Paint Bar for sponsoring our fundraising efforts and for everyone who was able to attend! We are looking forward to seeing you all at future events!

A Recipe for Sisterhood – Our NEW Cookbook Project
Hello Ladies!
This year we’ve been trying to find ways to make membership dues go further, and to ensure that we can continue to do this for years to come we are kicking off a new fundraising effort.
Now–this e-mail is not one asking for donations! What we actually need from you is your favorite recipe!
We’re working to create an AOII Boston Alumnae Chapter cookbook, featuring favorite recipes from all of our members. Once we collect your recipes, we’ll compile them and turn them into a professional-looking cookbook that you can order for yourself, your friends, and/or your family! It will make a great gift AND you’ll know the recipes are delicious because they’ve come directly from your sisters who have tried them out.
By October 21, 2012, please consider sending us:
- Your favorite recipe (or even your top 3)
- If the recipe is adapted from another source, such as a cookbook, magazine, or website, please include the source title, web URL, and/or issue date (if applicable)
- A story to go along with the recipe (not required, but we want to make this personal and fun!)
- A picture of the recipe, of you with your cooked dish, or just of your beautiful face
- Your name, collegiate chapter of initiation, and initiation year
All recipes, stories, and pictures can be sent to Lauren Simpson, our fundraising chair, at L.Simpson714@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance for your participation!
AOII Helps at the Life is Good Festival!
AOII volunteered at this year’s Life is Good Festival in Canton, MA featuring Dave Matthews Band!
This festival raises money to provide continuing education, resources and support to teachers, social workers, child-life specialists, and others dedicated to ensuring that children grow up in safe environments.
We were trained on serving beer, wine, and other drinks at the beverage station and in addition to our free time we donated, all tips we raised also went to the children!
Life really is good when you volunteer!
Boston Alumnae Walk Out Arthritis!
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Boston Arthritis Walk!
Our alumnae team raised $470 for arthritis research! If you still want to donate, click here to give a general team donation!
And based on the walk’s sign, we are the AOII Boston Alumnance Chapter! Maybe that means we should prance or dance a little more to keep moving and continue to strike out arthritis? We think so!
Stay tuned for what AOII is cookin’ up next!
