Success Delta Delta (Auburn U ) is this year's collegiate chapter recipient
of the A O I I Foundation Collegiate Chapter SHEAF Award for
Excellence in Fundraising - Total Chapter Giving. Throughout the
year, the chapter hosts several annual philanthropic activities, but it
is their R u n for Roses W a l k / R u n that has evolved into a landmark
event. Since 2(100, this two-mile w a l k / r u n around Auburn's campus
has involved hundreds o f runners, sponsors and support. After their
successful 2005 event raised $11,000, the chapter set their 2006 fund

or rose? Beginning last January, members began a push to solicit donors,
sponsors and participants. Nearly three weeks before the March
I 00 \ccr\cr Y'c 19th event, they realized they had already surpassed their goal and
were on their way to a record-setting total. Despite a cold and
rainy race day, hundreds o f participants and on-lookers turned
out. The weather did not dampen anyone's spirits as the first 20
finishers received roses. Awesome door prizes were distributed;
a band was set up under a tent for entertainment; and Aubie,
Auburn's mascot, even showed up to show his support. When
all was said and done, the chapter contributed an astonishing
$19,613.13 to the A O I I Foundation.

together perfectly for our R u n for Roses. Many o f the sisters'
families even joined in the race or came to cheer for everyone.
Toomer Hall was definitely packed! We are very proud o f our
philanthropic success this year and we w i l l do everything we can to
make next year's R u n for Roses even more successful!"

San Diego

Established on June 13, 1931, the San Diego
Alumnae Chapter recently celebrated their 75th
anniversary. The chapter is composed of AOIIs f r o m
collegiate chapters across the continent, o f various
ages, interests and professions. Over the past several
years, the chapter has readily adjusted to the changing
needs o f their members as more o f their women now
work or have numerous activities competing for their
time. Younger members, who are often new to the
large city, look to the chapter in terms o f networking
for jobs and new friends. Many older members are
connected to smaller groups o f sisters and have built
relationships, such as the bridge group that has been
together for 30 years. A l l members can find their
place i n the chapter's busy calendar o f activities.

Active in philanthropy, the chapter works with the Southern California Council rotate hosting the
local San Diego Arthritis Chapter i n supporting event, considered the largest A O I I Founders' Day
American Juvenile Arthritis Organization (AJAO) gathering. San Diego also enjoys having their annual
programming. Each year the A O I I chapter provides membership tea to celebrate 25, 50, and 75-year

Dear Sisters of A O I I and Friends:

The year 2005-2006 has been a prosperous year for the
Foundation. Because of many generous donors, the Foundation has
awarded $262,479 in educational and charitable programs.

A significant sign of progress in 2005-2006 is the endowment
of two named scholarships. The earnings from these endowments
will provide scholarships for deserving sisters. Contributions to the
scholarship program help keep the Legacy of Sisterhood alive forever.

This year, in response to the devastation of Hurricane
Katrina, a special fund was established, Ruby Fund Disaster Relief.
The Foundation is extremely grateful for the generous gifts to this
fund enabling us to assist sisters in the direst of need.

The year 2007 will mark 30 years of the Foundation
celebrating the Legacy of Sisterhood. We hope you will help make
it possible for us to continue to celebrate the values and ideals of our
beloved Fraternity. With your generous support the Foundation will
celebrate many more anniversaries.

O n behalf of the A O I I Foundation Board, we thank our
Sisters and Friends for the continuing support of our mission.

With Alpha Love and thanks,

Frardde Frazier Nordlund, N u Beta

Mary Plan Barnes (2) EPSILON ALPHA Thankyou for sharing the story about a fellow sister and M.S. patient,
Aimec Bourdet- Heap Dugan (4) Paula Jones Salter. My daughterjust turned 21 and was also recently
Karen Betz Habiger (4) Pennsylvania State University diagnosed with M.S. Her diagnosis answers many of our questions
Jeanne Durrell Koblick because we now realize she may have had M. S. since she was 15 years old.
Alicia Mankins Moya (3) PEARL CLUB M.S. is very difficult to properly diagnose just because the disease often
Kristina Palos (3) has no visible symptoms and can be different for each individual. 11 is a
Diane Harlow Powell (4) Shirley Camp B e l k e * ( 2 I ) lonely and costly disease.
