Link Love

There's a new link on the sidebar for Kourtney (Gravlee) McBryar!

Avalon, Philippines, et al.

Dear Alums,

I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates about the Philippines trip. Hopefully, we will have a few guest bloggers in the coming weeks that share about their experiences! I hope to have pictures up soon as well.

I'd also like to congratulate a DZT alum on her recent promotion... Amy McBride Richardson (Tap 71) is the newest member of the Dove Award Winning and Grammy Nominated Christian Group Avalon! If you are on facebook, myspace, or twitter, please let Amy know how proud we are to have her represent!

Dear DZT alumnus,

The Delta Zeta Tau Alumni Association is off to a great start, 101 strong!

If you haven't joined DZTAA, please consider joining during this final week of our charter membership drive. We are so excited about the possibilities for the alumni association, not only the opportunity to serve and strengthen the current membership, but also the chance to
reconnect with sisters from days gone by.

DZTAA has committed our support to DZT's May 10th mission trip to the Philippines. We also have two DZT alumni going on the trip: Judy Kahoe '64 and Angeline McMullin '96, as the faculty sponsor from Lee University. Those going on the trip will stay at Samaritans Place
orphanage founded and operated by Marc Morris '84, a DZT alumnus, and his wife Marilen. Because DZT will be staying on site, they will be with the children and the house mothers from the time they wake up in the morning until they go to sleep at night. DZT will be working hand in
hand with the people at Samaritans place and in charge of putting on a Bible School for the children at the orphanage. The orphanage is on the outside boundaries of the city of Manila where DZT will interact with people coming by the gates and children who are not in the orphanage, but wish that they could be. One day will be devoted to Outreach day. On this day DZT will spend time getting to know people in the community and inviting their children to Bible School. More information about Samaritan's place can be found at http://www.samaritansplace.com/
.

Dues collected from DZTAA members and any donations received will go directly toward the girls' cost for room and board ($450 each) at Samaritan's Place. This weekend, on May 1-2, DZTAA is putting on the Extremely Enormous Yard Sale to raise funds. The sale will take place in the old Mayfield Elementary School gymnasium, which now belongs to Lee University. Any funds we raise beyond what is needed for trip expenses will be given to Samaritan's Place as a donation from DZT.


To join DZTAA as a charter member, just mail the form below to the address provided. I'll look forward to hearing from you soon and catching up!

Vice President, DZTAA
