Message from the PresidentMarty Webb, William & Mary
What an exciting fall we had! The chapter kicked off the year with a Throw Back Tuesday party in September and celebrated Founders’ Day in November with West Georgia, Georgia, and Emory collegians, and with the very entertaining and interesting Susan Hable Smith, Alabama, as our featured speaker. What a treat!
Our interest groups hosted many great events, presenting us with the opportunity to learn, share interests, give back, make new friends, and celebrate our Tri Delta sisterhood! Our two new groups, Food & Wine and Delta Squared, have generated a lot of interest with fun and innovative programs – check them out!
Looking forward, in addition to many interesting spring chapter events and programs, planning is well under way for the 32nd Annual Care Affair, which benefits CURE Childhood Cancer and the Tri Delta Foundation. Mark your calendars for April 18, 2015 at the Atlanta Athletic Club! We need your support! Plan to support the event by attending, making/soliciting silent and live auction donations, and by being an event sponsor and/or soliciting sponsorships! We need everyone’s help and participation!

Delta Nights Annual Ornament Exchange
This serious group of ornament thieves was made up of approximately 35 sisters —and many NEW faces — that gathered at the home of Jessica Pardi, Boston, once again. Appetizers and desserts brought by the sisters who attended were abundant. The star ornament this year was Poseidon. A twist in the game that started last year (bring an auction item or make a donation for Care Affair and get a chance to draw a better number) yielded $140 and 2 auction items for Care Affair!
Delta SquaredOctober 25th Tri Deltas and a few husbands met up for a Walking Ghost Tour and Pub Crawl of Marietta Square, where history and stories were told by our tour guide, along with some real-life tales from business owners themselves —all while enjoying libations at three pit stops in some of the Square’s most haunted establishments! Check out the “orbs” in our group photo...
On Saturday December 13th Delta Squared held the first annual Vintage & Vino fundraiser for Care Affair at Marina Marina, a boutique & antique store, on the Marietta Square. Light appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and wine was served – along with a store-wide live auction that included donations from local vendors, as well as vintage items donated by booth dealers of Marina Marina.

The annual lively auction raised funds to support Care Affair, the Tri Delta Foundation, as well as future Day Group events — this year raising over $2,415 — excellent ladies!
