Many thanks to Debby Cecil Jacobs for hosting our April meeting at the Ronald McDonald House! We started the evening by hosting an ice cream bar for the families staying in the house. Debby then took us on a tour of the house before we took care of chapter business.

Wishing you a magical holiday season and a Happy New Year from Chicago West Suburban Alumnae Chapter!

We had an early Pi Day celebration at the Ronald McDonald house last week.  We served pizza and ice cream sundaes to families staying at the house.  After the meal was over, we were given a tour of the facility.  Thank you to Debbie for being a wonderful hostess!

Last night we enjoyed a sweet treat or two at our Valentine's Day celebration!  We paired Girl Scout cookies with a corresponding wine, which made for a delicious tasting.  Many thanks to Sharon for hosting us!

Happy Holiday's from your Chicago West sisters! Wishing you a happy and healthy 2025!

Thank you to Natalie for teach us how to make a beautiful flower bouquet at last night's meeting! Everyone brought two bouquets to share, which allowed for us to mix and match. Each bouquet came out beautiful and unique.

Thank you to everyone that joined us tonight to kick-off a new year! This year we are focused on sisterhood and fun, and hope that you can join us at an event or two!

Our Pi Day celebration included pizza pies, fruit pies, officer elections, and a conversation around the Team AOII Pi Day campaign!

While it was cold and snowy outside, Thursday's virtual meeting was jam-packed!  We had a Foundation presentation, talked about AOII award applications, and shared memories of our dear sister, Jeanne Crippin.

Merry Christmas from Chicago West Suburban!
