Slept late, after celebrating Founders Day last night. Got home at a decent hour, but sat up doing scrabble and killing pigs until 11pm...Always need to unwind.

We had a great sorority party with 24 ladies in attendance to celebrated Founders day... "Pathways to Friendship" was the theme for 2010-2011...Jane, Marion and their committee have worked tirelessly since the first of the year plotting and planning the decorations...The three sororities "Phi Master, Xi Beta Nu, and Beta Nu", were greeted with a "yellow brick path" bordered on both sides by flowers and signs leading into "Vali's", where we enjoyed a social hour before partaking of a lovely buffet dinner...the traditional founders day program was followed, as we reminisced about the past year and dedicated ourselves to enriching our future.

Our sorority chapter was started over fifty years ago and two of the original charter members, Jane Williams and Ann Hayes are still active members in Phi Master...Jane and Ann joined sorority, as young women looking for a much needed outlet...it took them away from the everyday routine of child care, cooking, laundry etc...it was a place where they met with their peers to enrich their lives socially, culturally and also gave service to their communities...They embraced this group and became lifelong friends, promoting the ideas and teachings of Beta Sigma Phi...Over the years, two more chapters have been added and at one time boasted a combined attendance of over fifty members, in Wallowa County...Jane and Ann keep us on the straight and narrow in the ways of Beta Sigma Phi...any questions we have can be answered by them...Words of advise from them are...Attend meetings and study your BSP Book.
I was extremely lazy yesterday but did accomplish one thing. Jane had written a poem several years ago about her days in BSP and she read it at Founders Day. I called and ask if she would like to enter it in the poetry contest being sponsored by BSP. She liked the idea so she filled out the entry form, I quickly typed the poem and it went out in the mail, so we could beat the May 1st deadline I hope she gets recognized. OWAV:)
