EMO VINELINE

Fall Planning meeting

11:00am

September 11, 2010

Youngstown Public Library

Newport Branch

3730 Market St.

Youngstown, OH

As summer is coming to a close and chapter meetings will reconvene;

prayerfully the time away has allowed us to regroup and refresh with grand and

magnificent ideas as the new administration implements their program of

‘Global Leadership Through Timeless Service’.

Committees are asked to have reports and information on upcoming events for

the remainder of 2010 and 2011. As you are all aware, EMO is actively

engaged in a 2 night bus trip to NY to see FELA!, dine at Sylvia’s, and shop in

the well known areas of NY. This would be the perfect time to get that

Christmas shopping done.

The committee requests that ALL sorors try to sell at least 1 seat without being

assessed. Sorors, please make an honest effort! Keep in mind that proceeds go

towards our scholarship fund and community outreach programs. If you cannot

attend, please try to solicit others.

Can’t wait to see you and hear all about your summer!

Soror Theresa

From the Basileus
