After a very successful formal rush , " Taus in the World Series", 14 women pledged. Continu ing along with a winning season, the annual spring overnight retreat was a great crowd pleaser. The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to further develop teamwork, enthusiasm , and appreciation of the ideals of AST. Other runs were scored throughout the season when we got involved in philanthropies such as a b loodmobile adopt-a -grandparent at Forest Mano; Care Center, and the annual run with Delta Chi to raise money for Special O lympics . The sisters also participated

Foundation ALPHA SIGMA TAU IS GOING PLACES AND SO IS PINE MOUNTAIN! Last year individual and group contributions, combined with a most generous donation from the Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation , allowed Pine Mountain to purchase a IS-passenger van. Paul Hayes , Pine Mountain Director, characterized the support from AST as " tremendous. The school has never had new equipment like this before " he said. " It's the greatest thing that has ever happened to us. " The new van will transport environmental education students to caves, mountaintops, strip mining and reclamation areas , and to coal mines for first-hand experience and study. Since I94S , AST's support of our national philan-
thropy , Pine Mountain Settlement School, has been constant. Now we have put our love on wheels! The Foundation 's support of Pine Mountain has included these gifts : I98S A contribution to assist with the restoration of West Wing dormitory I 986 Funds for salaries for two teachers in the tutorial program for potential high school dropouts , and for bui lding repairs I 987 Funds to purchase a heavy duty washer and dryer and a cooki ng range I 988 Funds for a refrigerator -cooler I 990 Funds to purchase a IS-passenger van

" I wish I could do something really great for AST, but my salary is too small just now ." " Maybe I can contribute in a few years when the children are out of school. " ' 'I'm getting older and I must plan for retirement. " " One person can 't do very much anyway. " Sound familiar? While it's true that th ere always seems to be more demand than supply when it comes to money , there is a way each AST can help perpetuate the ideals of sorority if we combine our resources. Small individual gifts in memory of a deceased fri end or in honor of someone special can be added to an existing fund to increase its principal amount and thus generate more interest . Larger annual gifts from an

individual or a chapter can grow into a grant or an award for a particular purpose. Scholarships can be funded by individuals groups of fri ends, or cha pters . They may be started with $IOO or mo re , but within three years the fund must grow to $2SOO. At current interest rates , this will provide a 200 scholars hip . As gifts are added to the principal , the a moun t of the scholarshi p can be increased. Remember, your contributions are tax deductible, and con tributi ons from pa rents and friends of AST are also welcome . The directors of the Foundation are happy to work with contributors to set up a fund which perpetuates the name you choose and provides funds for the purpose you want to su pport. 13

THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF THE ALPHA SIGMA TAU NATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC. by Lenore Seibel King (Mrs. Thomas J., Jr.), Psi, National Foundation First Vice President In the early 1970s, national fraternal organizations realized that to protect and enhance the financial security of their groups, uncharted steps had to be taken . Numbers of fraternal organizations , including Alpha Sigma Tau , were audited by the Internal Revenue Service. At NPC meetings in the mid-1970s , the National Presidents met to discuss financial concerns, including how national foundations would be established and operated , and then Alpha Sigma Tau began collecting further information on procedure, assets , security, and use of funds . Our long-range goal became legally incorporating a taxexempt Foundation to give financial strength and security to Alpha Sigma Tau. In July 1980, the National Council implemented its investigation of the establishment of an Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation for the growth and protection of setaside funds and resources under a tax-exempt non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. In January 1981 a committee was appointed to pursue procedural steps to establish a foundation , and that summer their findings were reported to the Council. Research was continued in Birmingham , Alabama , where the National Headquarters of AST had recently relocated. The National President met with legal counsel to learn the procedure required to establish a Foundation , and in March 1982, the National Council determined that all necessary steps had been taken to do so immediately. Stipulated to be included in the Foundation incorporation were scholarship grants, student loans , resident counselors, philanthropy, traveling counselors, regional leadership workshop training programs, convention leadership training , other sorority educational activities , and the formation of an AST National Headquarters. Upon advice of the tax attorney, Birmingham-area alumnae were appointed as the first Board of Directors . Our Foundation was " born " when the application for incorporation in Alabama was signed on September 24, 1982 by the members of the Board of Directors : Lenore Seibel King , Carol Mathews, Holly Woodford McDonald , Virginia Childress Becker, and Catherine Bonds Crapet. The Bylaws for the Foundation were signed on May 23 , 1983. At the July 1983 National Council meeting, Carol Mathews reported that the newly-incorporated AST National Foundation Board of Directors had elected the following officers : Carol Mathews, President ; Cathy Crapet, Vice President; Sybil King , Treasurer; Holly McDonald, Secretary; and Ginny Becker, Member-at-Large. She furth er reported that the tax exemption application had been completed and would be filed with the Internal Revenue Service . At that point, the Foundation would become operational under IRS requirements for a taxexempt Foundation when the National Council transferred the designated funds of the sorority to the Foundation . The sorority membership would be informed of the Foundation 's program and the application procedures 16
for these programs through THE ANCHOR and other sorority publications , and that all donations to the Foundation would be tax-deductible. The National Council then approved the transfer of appropriate set-aside funds and allotments, contingent upon exemption from Federal income tax . The Foundation was notified on October 17 , 1984 of IRS approval as a 501(c)(3) public foundation. In 1983, the National Council appointed Meda Ray Elliott Sewell and June McCarthy to four-year terms on the Foundation Board of Directors . They joined Carol Mathews , Sybil King , and Holly McDonald on the Board. The initial funding of the first scholarship established for the Foundation was announced at the 1984 National Convention by the Houston Alumnae Chapter to honor Lenore " Sybil " Seibel King . Also announced during this convention was the receipt of $250 for a grant from J .O . Pol lack Company, by Jerry Pollack, President, to become the J .O. Pollack Philanthropic Award. The Foundation 's first Pollack award recipient was Shelley Bates, Beta Mu . The first grant implemented by the Foundation was the 250 Mary Alice Peterson American Indian Grant. The first grant to the National Organization was for $150 and was used to update the slide show of Pine Mountain Settlement School, our national philanthropy. In 1985, the levelized giving concept was implemented to recognize consistent and loyal supporters of the Foundation. That year , six Effie E. Lyman Memorial Loan Fund applications were approved and granted . In 1986, the criteria for scholarships were established and a five-year plan for the Foundation was implemented . The Board approved plans to establish the Founders Centennial Scholarship Fund in 1987 , and a grant was made to the National Panhellenic Conference for the NPC Central Office . In 1988, the Carrie Washburne Staehle Scholarship Fund, honoring our President Emerita , was launched in 1988 by the Elliott sisters, Edith, Meda Ray , and Betty Gail. A computer work station was purchased and the funds made available for programming Foundation donations into the existing database . A grant was made to the AST National Organization for developing videos to aid in sorority growth and enrichment of membership . Funds were allocated for attendance at various interfraternal Foundation conferences . The National Organization was given grants to send collegiate members to ATO LeaderShape Conference and National Staff mem bers to seminars . During the 1987-88 academic year , Lori Sue Gerhart, Alpha Tau , was the first receipient of the Lenore eibel King Scholarship . Tracy Taylor, Alpha Gamma, wa th recipient of the LeaderShape Grant .

teachers , workers , and supporters there. The assistance we give to Pine Mountain Settlement School makes an important difference in many lives , as well as in the appreciation and protection of our envi ronment. Worthy of note are Pine Mountain 's Intervention Program , teaching students one on one who need academic assistance (Pine Mountain 's progra m was the model for Headstart) ; its botany collection , one of the best in the East; crafts by local a rtisans; remedial assistance; teaching trades such as computer use; Elderhostel ; camp for underprivileged in the summer; and Indian artifacts collection , just to name a few . In 1989, the Rose Mari e Schmidt Scholarship was announced , funded by Rose Marie Schmidt. The first recipient was Laura Schoellenberger, Beta Mu . The first recognition by the Foundati on of dono rs who have given $100 or more was at the 1990 National Co nvention . Forty-three members were ho no red at a breakfast. The program consisted of recognition of donors in each level of giving with a gift and a certifi cate . At the 1990 Conventi on, the Eli zabeth Wilson/ Dorothy Robinson and Mary Louise Mandrea Doyle Schola rships we re a nnoun ced . Bo th Mi ss Wilso n a nd Mrs. Robinson were past national pres idents, and Mrs. Doyle has served in many capacities on the National Staff . In 19 91 , funding was received fo r the Meda Ray Elliott Sewell S chola rship and the Edith Min erva Ell iott Scho la rship . Bo th Elliott sisters have given mu ch o f their time and talents to AST on th e loca l and national level. Alth o ugh seve ra l yea rs passed befo re va ri o us ac-
counts generated eno ugh interest to award the first sch olarships, with continued member contributions, the number and size of Foundati on scholarships will in crease. Th e interest no t used is reinvested and will accrue toward additi onal scholarships. Most new funds a re generated th rough gifts to the Foundation fr om ASTs, th eir fa mil y members, or from the Nati ona l Organi za ti on through Endowment , Lyman , Phila nthro py, and Headquarters fun ds . Funds are in vested at the best avai lable yield with minimum ri sk. There are no investments made in hig h risk/ high return categori es . As with other successful founda tions, the growth pace has been steady a nd will continue to be in direct proporti on to our tax deductible gi fts. More gi fts, larger gifts, and mo re regular gifts will generate funds that will make availa ble more awards, grants, and scholarships and fund programs that give support to the National Organiza ti on within the allowed tax exem pt purposes of your Fo undation . During the first ten yea rs, we have laid a firm foundati on. As we a pproach the Centennial of Alpha Sigma Tau and the twenty-first century , the next ten years will show grea t growth and accomplishment of even more o f th e Foundation's tax exempt purposes. The AST National Foun dation was established to enhance the sisterhood conceived and so cari ngly nurtured fo r each of us alm ost a century ago . Th e Foundation will continue to strengthen th e va lue of Al pha Sigma Tau in the lives of sisters of all ages.

ERIE Enjoys RLW Because of our involvement with the two local chapters as advisers and district president, there is never a dull moment' We celebrated Founders Day with both Alpha Tau and Gamma Theta at a brunch in November. We rang in the holidays with a pizza party at Chrissy Hawes ' home and taped a personal message to send to sister Connie Young and her family in North Carolina. The holidays provided us the perfect opportunity to share with a family in need: The Hile family has a four -year-o ld son who needed a kidney transplant. His father was the donor, so we brightened their days with a food basket and Christmas gifts. We are glad to report that both are doing well. The new year was kicked off at a very fast pace with rush at both campuses , pledge activities, and the spring formals . We may be " older" but we do like to cut the rug once in a while! The highlight of the spring was our trip to RLW at !UP. We accompanied about 40 collegians and had a great time sharing ideas , practicing skits and songs, and meeting the national officers and staff. Several summer fun activities are planned with families and friends . Next fall we hope to induct several recent grads into our ranks . Norma J . Black

NORTHERN VIRGINIA Has Spending Spree A two -foot yellow rose flowering Christmas tree graced the serving table at our Christmas party last December. Each main branch was tipped with a silk rose. The festive occasion took place at Mary Louise Doyle's home . The selling of White House Christmas tree ornaments is our most successful money raiser. Thanks in large part to Betty Sue Glaeser, over 240 of these col lector's items were sold . We welcomed Ebru Turker Pekari and Pam Werner at our January meeting , where the refreshments were sundaes with an assortment of toppings and cake . Later in the month , volunteers met at Carol Mooney 's home and made boxes filled with candy for the Senior Citizens Day Care Center in Annandale. In February, Diane Helbing was host-

ess for a Fifties Party. After a delicious potluck dinner, we began dancing to the tunes of the '50s and hula hoops were deftly spun by Diane's children. The children were quickly challenged by " oldtimers" who were once proficient in the art! Our March get-together at Cathy Schreiner's home took us into what appeared to be the home or workshop of Easter Bunnies! Bunnies, eggs . and lilies seemed to be in every nook and cranny helping hurry up both Spring and Easter. After the meeting and refreshments, we decorated small baskets filled with goodies for the Senior Citizens Day Care Center. We brought candies and cookies to the April meeting at Leah Lowe 's to send to Chi Colony for distribution during exams . We have adopted Chi and are involved in a secret pal game of correspondence and gift-giving . Four of us went to Shepherdstown for Chi 's pin pledging : Birdalee Wagaman, Cathy Schreiner , Mary Louise Doyle , and Cheryl Quast . This spring , we have made donations to Children 's Hospital in Washington , Pine Mountain Settlement School , Zeta Tau Chapter (for a special project) , and the National Foundation for scholarships.

TIDEWATER Funds Collegiate Award This year's activities such as sweatshirt making , the annual Christmas party, the induction of three new members, a storyteller at the February meeting , and the appointment of J eanne Knaus as National Parliamentarian make it difficult to pinpoint just one memo rable event' No matter the season , the Tidewater Taus have a good time . We sold Entertainment books as a fundraising activity and held a sil ent auction at the Christmas party. Money from these activities and the sale o f sunglasses and homemade stationery at Convention was used for donations to local charities and Pine Mountain and bought Girl Scout cookies to send to the troops in the Gulf. A portion of the money raised has been used for a collegiate scholarship award to the Virginia chapter with the highest scholastic average. Congratulations to Psi Chapter on receiving the proceeds this year! Throughout the year , we collected clothes for the Battered Women's Shelter and Campbell soup labels and Betty Crocker points for Pine Mountain . At Christmas , we provided gifts and holiday cheer to the children at Hope Haven Children 's Home . Sherry Ayers and Pau lette Crawford directed these projects and devoted much time and energy to their success. In January a sorority exchange was held at Karen Farn 's home with the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha Alumnae Chapter. Our own Elayne Goode announced her engagement with a candlelight ceremony there. The Panhellenic Spring Fashion Show and Luncheon was held April 20 at the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club. Joy Robertson was the AST model and did a wonderful job' Gerianne Hall
