BIRTHDAY GIRLS
Each month for those members who have birthdays in
that month, the member is asked to bring an item to be part of a Not-So-Silent
Auction to raise funds for the Chapter
Chapter Buddies
Each new member will be assigned a "buddy" who
will make herself available to the new member to answer questions and help her
get to know the workings of the Chapter and its members.
MEMORY BOXES
For this charity, members paint paper mache boxes
for a nationwide Infant Death Bereavement Program. The boxes are mailed
to participating hospitals and are made available to parents who have lost
infants or young children. The boxes provide safekeeping of birth
memorabilia for the grieving families.

more information on the Memory Box program.
REFRESHMENTS, DOOR PRIZES AND CLEAN UP
Each
member is asked to choose one month for each of these Chapter
services so our meetings run smoothly and everyone helps out.
SECRET PALS
Members who choose to participate are given a
member's name, address and birthday. Then throughout the year, you
remember your Secret Pal with cards, notes, small gifts each month without
revealing your identity. At the Christmas Party you bring a small gift
and reveal yourself to this special friend.
SOJOURNER BAGS
The painted canvas bags are filled with toiletries
and sundries and are given to battered women in the Phoenix area since many
come to the shelter with little but the clothes on their backs.
SUMMER POTLUCK
We do not have scheduled meetings in the months of
July and August. The summer potluck is a casual get-together during this
break so we can keep in touch with our painting sisters.
