2016 Sunshine State Reunion

2016 Sunshine State Reunion

Posted on by Michelle Klinger-Wellner

SAVE THE DATE
February 5th thru 7th, 2016

The PLPAA Sunshine Committee has started planning our 2016 reunion in the Sunshine State. Based on last year’s successful reunion we look forward to seeing you and additional sisters at this year’s festivities.
We hope as many of you as possible will be joining in for this fun packed weekend in the sun. We are planning a gathering centrally located between SE and SW coasts just off Alligator alley in the area of Weston, Florida. Weston is conveniently located off all major highways and 30 minutes from the FLL Hollywood airport.

Allegiant is a low cost airline which flies from upstate NY to Ft. Lauderdale, WPB and Tampa, Florida. Several upstate NY Alumni will fly down and carpools can be arranged to Weston.

We have set up a block of rooms at the Marriot Courtyard in Weston. Rooms are approximately $200 per night for a room with 2 double beds.

We are planning a luncheon on Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00 pm at the Prime Time Restaurant in Weston Town Center. Cost of the luncheon will be approximately $30 pp. We have secured a private area within the restaurant conducive to sisters mingling along with our own private outdoor space and bar area. Menu includes passed appetizers and a buffet luncheon of a variety of fresh salads, fat breads and finger foods. Friday evening we will be coordinating a Happy hour at one of the local pubs as well as a farewell brunch on Sunday.

Please let us know if you will be attending and if it will be for the Saturday event only or the entire weekend. Please send your reply to one of the email addresses below. Further details will be in the next issue of the Phi Times as well as on the PLPAA FB page. As always please pass on to any sisters both Florida residents as well as any Sister who wants to travel south to join the fun that may not be on our FB group or not receiving this newsletter!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Celebrating Our Past and Creating Our Future

Celebrating Our Past and Creating Our Future

Once again it’s time for our annual PLPAA membership drive. Membership spans our fiscal year from July 1 to June 30 each year.

Your active membership and support really mean a lot to the PLPAA. But we need your participation and commitment as much as we need your donation. We are looking for sisters from every era to help and work on various committees.

In the coming year, your membership is needed more than ever. WE CONTINUE TO HELP BUILD OUR ACTIVE SISTERHOOD AND ENSURE THE FUTURE OF PHI LAMBDA PHI. In today’s climate Greeks on the Oswego campus need a strong alumnae presence to survive. We as alumnae need to do everything in our power to ensure that the legacy of Phi Lambda Phi lives on. We need every sister’s support. BE A SUPPORTING MEMBER – all it takes is a donation of your choice.

Your membership money will be used to:

  • Offer memorable events at reunions, supplying favors, offering discounts on reunion activities, merchandise and meals venues.
  • Fund a successful Rush — marketing materials, favors at rush parties, flyers on campus, rides to transport pledges to our rush events, memorabilia displays, printing costs.
  • Help actives pay their liability insurance which each local Greek organization must pay to be recognized on campus.
  • Produce more newsletters, especially printed newsletters we can mail to our sisters who do not have email.
  • Fund efforts to find “lost” sisters.
  • Scan and preserve scrapbooks, photos, composites, pledging and rush documents.
  • Make improvements to our website, newsletters, and brochures so that we can better communicate with you, our sisters.

Our Shining Star

Our Shining Star

PLPAA Alumnae Achievement Award recognizes alumnae who have gone above and beyond to assist their Sisters. Each year this award is given to deserving Sister(s) at our Annual Meeting in June during Reunion Weekend. This year’s recipients were Susan Shanahan and Beth Rapple for their yearlong efforts of spearheading our Pledge Survival Basket program.
As many sisters have helped donate generously, both money, gift cards and special goodies and gifts for the actives and pledges these two sisters amidst their busy lives take time out to pull it all together, purchasing and assembling baskets and delivering them to Oswego during pledging. These two sisters have given so much of themselves to Phi Lamb and are definitely this year’s Shining Stars!
