THETA LUNCHEON 2025

My apologies for my minimal communication this year.  As you may know, I am still a working real estate agent in addition to being "Mayor" of our neighborhood of 110 homes, on the board of an animal support group (raising funds for our local shelter), and am currently serving on a task force (that has taken way more time than I ever expected) to change an article of our Sun City Carolina Lakes CC&Rs. Regretfully, with all of this on my plate, Theta got put on the back burner for way longer than I intended.

 

In case you didn't receive Janice's letter or the email from Laurie, here's the information for this year's luncheon.  Hopefully, someone will send me photos to share after it's over.

 

If you didn't get Janice's letter, you can email me for a pdf copy.  Below is Laurie's email. 

 

Dear Theta Sisters-

 

 

In case you missed our recent handwritten newsletter via snail-mail from Janice Oehler (many thanks to Janice), our annual luncheon is just one month away. Here are the details:

 

THETA PHI ANNUAL LUNCHEON

Date: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2025

Time: 11:30 AM – 3:00 PM

Place: Student Union Building….Room 409

           on the SUNY New Paltz Campus

It will be wonderful to be back on our beautiful campus again in full fall splendor! Our lunch menu is all set, and everyone will enjoy arugula and parmesan salad, seasoned roasted chicken, orecchiette pasta, eggplant caponata, cannellini beans with tomato and rosemary, herb focaccia bread, plus tiramisu for dessert and a beverage.

 

We continue to hold the price at an affordable level, and the sorority picks up any balance plus incidentals.
