WHY CONVENTION? BY HELEN

CoREY

National Convention Chairman

;

=. I ~

The National Convention is the governing body of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and this twenty-third national convention will meet to carry on the important business of running our organization. The Convention, to be held in the beautiful Grand Hotel on the "Wonderland" of Mackinac Island in Michigan, has been carefully planned by your national officers. It is during Convention that your officers will be ~iven opportunities to report, to inform, and to recommend. Opportunities, too, will be theirs for sharing the experiences of years of work in A~A. Your letters to national officers indicate that you would like to know them personally. The convention will give you this opportunity to meet them and to know they are "just people," too. Our national family is made up of A~As of all ages, and we have a good time together because of our common interest-A~A. We might think of our Convention as a huge workshop where round table and panel discussions provide an opportunity for an informal exchange of ideas of benefit to every college and alumnae chapter. The Convention is A~A's means of giving the delegates the opportunity to elect new officers, plan the program for the next three years, and to take back to their chapters, college and alumnae, some of the ideas, knowledge, and inspiration experienced. Convention is a time to learn to develop good campus leaders to be good community leaders of the future. Although at Convention Alpha Sigmas find working together a privilege, there will also be many hours set aside for fun and fellowship, for sports and sight-seeing. Convention is a time of fun and hard work, late nights and early rising, of inspiration and song, of reunion with old friends and the making of new ones. WHY CONVENTION? WHY NOT???

II-

A "GRAND" WELCOME On Mackinac Island is located Grand Hotel, and it is here that a "grand" welcome awaits The 1961 National Convention of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The hotel was built in 1887 and since that time has undergone enlarging and remodeling to produce the perfectly exquisite structure that it is today. Surrounding the hotel is an estate of 500 acres, and adjoining this area, composed of 1,600 acres, is Mackinac Island State Park, rich in history and beauty. Red men called Mackinac Island "the place of the Great Dancing Spirits." This, they said, was the loveliest spot in creation-the place where the Michibou, the great one of the waters, the Manitou of these lakes, had chosen to dwell with his attendant deities. Men of other races fell under the island's spell as readily as the Indians. Artists, writers, and world travelers of three centuries have found its beauty unsurpassed on any continent. Mackinac's romantic history has vastly heightened its natural charm. Here, more than one hundred years before the American Revolution, came the beloved "blackrobe," Father Marquette. H ere, while the Revolution was in progress, the British built Fort Mackinac, making the lovely island the Gibraltar of the lakes. Under the protection of the fort's guns, the fur trade reached its zenith. Here voyageurs and coureurs des bois swaggered in their bright regalia, shouting their chansons to the fiddle's shrill accompaniment. Here, during the War of 1812, heroic American blood was shed in a futile attempt to recover through courage what had been lost through surprise. No longer is Mackinac Island a military post or a commercial center. Now it is a historic shrine and a perfect vacation haven. Grand Hotel is a vital part of the area and cordially welcomes Alpha Sigma Alpha.

ALUMNAE! SEEING IS BELIEVING This is THE year for Alpha Sigmas! Coming up soon is our biggest, best convention at the GRAND H oTEL, MACKINAC IsLAND, MICHIGAN. Plans have beeen progressing upward a nd onward, and we're beginning to round the final corner. Naturally, there are many details which still demand minute attention before "finis" can be marked on any give n project. One such is the idea of having more exhibits and displays from the alumnae chapters. Exhibits, displays, a nd scrapbooks a re one of the

best ways to pool ideas and share talents. They lend so much to convention! And while it is fun to read in TH E PHOENIX about various fundraisers, easy money-makers, a nd novel philanthropic projects, SEEING IS BELIEVING. We want each alumnae chapter, if a t all possible, to send something to exhibit in addition to the traditiona l scrapbook. Make it indicative of your group's endeavours or ventures. Think about it, and decide what your group would like to exhibit-we want to SEE what you Do! - NANCY G . MATHISEN, N ational Alumnae Director.

CONVENTION HINTS 1. Plan your own participation m the convention from the moment you decide to attend. 2. Avoid disappointment- make your reservation early. 3. R eview names of your National Officers and convention chairmen. 4. Study the convention program. A delegate is obliged to a ttend all sessions planned by the National Organization. Be punctual at a ll sessions. 5. As the Convention is the governing body of the sorority, a member attending as a delegate has a vita l part in determ ining the future of Alpha Sigma Alpha. 6. Jot down specific problems now confronting your chapter. Have them ready for discussion in the round-table sessions in order to help find a solution. 7. When you arrive at Convention, check the list of delegates and visitors. Get to know them personally. 8. Capitalize on meal-time hours. Many new friends can be made. The decorations will provide rush party ideas. 9. Make a list of new friends made a t Convention. Keep in touch with them after you return home. I 0.

M ake the most of everything offered at Convention. You will be well paid for your efforts.

As a chapter delegate or visitor, we hope the Convention will help you better to fulfill your duties to your chapter. HELEN L. CoREY

Helen Frame Snyder ®® will be co-chairman and secretary of the convention committee when Akron is host to the Ohio Association for Retarded Children, April 21-23. The most outstanding activities of ANDERSON, INDIANA, alumnae have been their "tasting party" when members brought samples of their favorite recipes, the Christmas party and dinner, and their January meeting when Miss Toula Lambrose, a student at Anderson College, spoke about the school customs and curricula of her native Greece. Again this year the BuFFALO Alumnae Chapter, as a member of Panhellenic, addressed envelopes for the Tuberculosis Easter Seal campaign. Their own philanthropic project of preparing teaching aids for the School of Retarded Children was in full swing during the Christmas holidays under the direction of Kathy Ryan Vantine IIII. Alumnae in the Bux-Mowr, PENNSYLVANIA, area are currently working on plans for their Montgomery County Retarded Chi ldren project. CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA alumnae were happy to be able to present to an Indiana State Alpha Sigma a $100 scholarship which she used to further her studies in courses fitting her to teach mentally retarded children. The luncheon meeting of all the CHICAGO area chapters at Marshall Fields was an inspiration. Work done for the American Cancer Society by the CHICAGO-WEsT SuB URBAN Alumnae Chapter will be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Tom Dooley. With his passing, we are reminded of our own Alpha Sigma Alpha obligation "to serve and not to be served ." CINCINNATI a lumnae are working on a special project for the Children's Cerebral Palsy Center. Last year the children were thrilled to be taken through the Cincinnati Zoo.

who inspected Beta Psi Chapter at Western Michigan University on February 12 and 13. They are looking forward with added inspiration to a successful State Day with the college chapter. Philanthropic money to be u ed in sending mentally retarded children to summer camp will be raised by the sale of items in "traveling baskets" among the GREATER KANSAS CrTY alumnae. Each member buys the gift in the basket and donates one to be purchased by the next person on the list. LoNG IsLAND alumnae have been busy on their Easter philanthropic project. They "adopted" a family and will supply its Easter dinner and necessary food staples. Money was raised for this purpose by a white-elephant sale. They are happy to welcome Kay McSweeney Cross B<I> from Wisconsin into their group. The Training Center of the San Fernando Valley Association for Retarded Children received a typewriter and duplicating machine from the Los ANGELES Alumnae Chapter.

M UNClE alumnae have one main philanthropic project for the year. A "forgotten" patient at the New Castle State Hospital is remembered each month by a different member, who sends her a gift. NEw ORLEANS alumnae's Founders' Day Dinner was a very delightful evening. The menu consisted of various Cantonese dishes, and it was at this dinner that they welcomed several new members into their group. At NoRTHERN NEw JERSEY's November meeting, five hundred stencils and outline pictures were made for the School for Mentally Retarded Children in Roselle.

In December SouTH BEND alumnae enjoyed a very special tea at the home of Marie Scanlan Brown AB, national fellowship chairman. The chapter helped the Elkhart-Goshen area girls organize a new alumnae chapter. The SouTH JERSEY Alumnae Chapter extends congratulations to its Ruth Stewart Cramer KK, a recipient of the Valley Forge Freedom Foundations award. Ruth was one of sixteen from New Jersey to receive this honor and the only one in the teaching profession. One of the most outstanding annual events of the SPRINGFIELD Alumnae Chapter is its covered-dish dinner and style show given for all Alpha Sigmas and their mothers. They all enjoy getting acquainted and seeing the latest fashions. The ToLEDO Alumnae Chapter is helping the Toledo Hearing and Speech Center as its philanthropic project. With the money contributed, we are informed that the Center will buy a repeater recorder for use in its kindergarten. The WASHINGTON, D. C., Alumnae Chapter is very grateful in its selection for a philanthropic project, a school for underprivileged as well as retarded children of all races and all creeds, from nursery school through fourteen years of age. The chapter has made and has given to the school scrapbooks on selected subjects of familiar objects and donated a record player and records, approved simp le games, and a number of occupational objects made by members to teach the children how to use zippers, tie shoe strings, and button and unbutton clothing. Twice they have donated money, and in December they helped finance the school's annual Christmas party.
