Founders Day was celebrated with new and old sisters at The Blue Room in Kendall Square. We enjoyed a delicious brunch and great company. Each guest received a small gift as a token of the Chapters appreciation for supporting this wonderful organization.
The Boston Alumnae and families tasted a part of Massachusetts at the Nashoba Valley Winery. We learned about the winery, tasting the fruits of their labor and even took home a souvenir wine glass to remember the day. We all had a great time at this local treasure.
Come eat and drink with other Alpha Phi's at this great bar in Harvard Sq. It is our last event of the year, and I hope you all can make it! Please visit Grendel's Den for more information and directions. As always friends and family are welcome to come.
Come to our biannual chapter meeting at 1:00 pm and share your views on how our alumnae chapter is doing and where you'd like it to go in the future. Come with ideas for upcoming events and a food dish! Sisters only, please.
Come enjoy some cool drinks with some warm people. Families, Friends and significant others are welcome to come. This is a great date spot so bring your valentine. T accessible - Green line to Hynes Convention Center, limited parking.
Alpha Phi's are holding a 5K Walk to raise money for the Alpha Phi Foundation. Here are some reasons why you should participate in the walk and MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) ranks first among all disease categories in hospital discharges for women.
- 43.3% of all female deaths in America and most developed countries occur from CVD, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.
- CVD is a particularly important problem among minority women. The death rate due to CVD is substantially higher in black women than in white women.
- In 1997, CVD claimed the lives of 502,938 females; cancer (all forms combined) 258,467.
- In 1997, CHD claimed the lives of 228,769 females compared with about 41,943 lives from breast cancer and 63,210 from lung cancer.
- 38% of women compared with 25% of men will die within one year of a heart attack. (Data Source: American Heart Association)
The 5K Walk will be held on Sunday, April 25th at Lederman Field (near the Charles River Esplanade in Boston). This is the same location as last year. You can take the Red line to MGH or the Green Line to Sciene Park. If you are driving, the Lederman field is located on Storrow Drive WESTBOUND not to far from Leverett Circle.
