One last sisterhood at Board & Brush to round out 2022!  Happy New Year sisters!

Happy Holiday's from Chicago West Suburban! Wishing you a magical season filled with family, friends, and AOII sisters!

Today's holiday arrangement workshop was creative and fun!

It was a balmy 28 degrees out, yet we still jingled our way through the Jingle Bell Run! Thank you to everyone who donated to Team AOII. You helped us become one of the Top 5 Fundraisers! We also had several medal finishers in their respective age brackets!

Thank you sisters for donating boxes of holiday cards and for writing them out at last night's meeting. We have a large bundle of cards going out to our Veterans at Hines VA Hospital!

It was a beautiful night for our October book club!

Earlier this month, Chicago West sisters attended the Freedom of Movement Gala hosted by the Arthritis Foundation. The event supports the Foundation's mission, research, and programs.

Last week AOII sisters supported Greek Life with the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee (FSPAC).

The results of this weekend's sisterhood painting class!

On Wednesday, members of CWS went blue to help raise awareness for World Arthritis Day!

October's book club discussion had a "This is Halloween, This is Halloween, 'Alloween, 'Alloween" feel and great discussions were had!

Thursday evening we kicked off a new AOII filled year!  We caught up on all the things that happened this summer and shared news regarding the year ahead!  Cheers!

On Wednesday evening sisters met to talk about our June book club pick, "Things We Never Got Over".  It was the perfect weather for a deck side discussion!

Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to celebrate the Barbara Drugs Hunt recipient, our very own Linda Grandolfo!  It was a beautiful celebration filled with sisterhood and friendship!  Congratulations Linda!

Many thanks to all those who helped make our "Made by Members" Strike Out Arthritis Auction a huge success!  Together we raised $876 for the Arthritis Foundation!

At last week's meeting, we elected our 2022-2023 officers, shared a woman who inspires us, and indulged in a sweet treat from the ice cream bar!

Thank you to everyone who wrote out cards for our Valentine's for Seniors philanthropy!  Over 100 cards will be delivered to spread some Valentine's Day cheer!

Tonight we shared what we love most about our alumnae group and learned how to make a few AOII inspired valentine's!

A new year of reading has begun!  Tonight's book club was our second annual crossover event with the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter.  Our discussion ranged from our January pick, recent books that we've enjoyed, and those books that may have caused us to stay up way past our bedtime on a work night!
