Look closely at the amount of the check on the right! That is the amount AOII donated to the Arthritis Fo u n d a t i o n . Our dollars support arthritis r e s e a r c h , Ju v e n i l e Arthritis Power Packs, and Juvenile Arthritis Camps & Conferences. Panda and book collections were two service projects attendees at Leadership participated in. The Pandas will go to Juvenile Arthritis Conference Attendees in Philadelphia and Phoenix and the books to The Word Wagon, an organization that promotes literacy in middle Tennessee.
So good to meet up with CNW sisters Danielle Parrillo, Terry Palmer, and Joyce Strout who now live in Tennessee and Nebraska, before LI.

Alpha Omicron Pi will rotate into the presidency of National Panhellenic in 2017. That has not happened for 52 years when Mary Louise Roller served in that capacity. To commemorate this event, AOII presented this pin to Carole Jo n e s , Pa s t In t e r n a t i o n a l President, to wear during her term as Panhellenic V.P. this year and President next year. The O has emeralds around it, as green is the official Panhellenic color. The picture does not do this beautiful pin justice!!
