Mary's mom joined us for our Oct mtg. She and Mary's dad are visiting for a couple weeks. They've been trekking all over Germany.

The 2009-2010 sorority year began with Beginning Day on 23 Aug. Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures...stay tuned for some at the next meeting!

On Friday, 3 July 09, we said goodbye to Nicole with a dinner at Alt Landstuhl. She's off to Abilene, TX next week. We'll really miss you Nicole. At the same time we held Revealing Day. Everyone got great gifts and had a lot of fun (primarily by comparing notes about Facebook applications).

On Monday, 13 April 09, Mary was promoted to the rank of Major in a ceremony at the LRMC Chapel. We're all so proud of her. She worked really hard for this promotion and it was a great day to see the new rank pinned on!

On Sunday 15 Feb 09, we enjoyed a nice meal, lots of laughs and crowned our new Valentine's Queen - Mary...all at the Bombay Restaurant in Einseidlerhof.

We exchanged Christmas ornaments on Sunday 7 Dec 08 at Garibaldi's restaurant in Landstuhl. Everyone left with a beautiful ornament and some very nice gifts...and the food was great!

Nicole and Shannon went to the Christmas Market(s) in Cologne on Saturday 6 Dec 08. Marisa was suppose to join us but she forgot to set her alarm clock. Go figure.

Several sisters participated in a 5K walk/run for Breast Cancer Awareness on 18 Oct 2008 at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.

Becky left Theta for school in Arizona on 14 Oct 2008. We had dinner at her favorite Italian restaurant, Il Capriccio's in Landstuhl.

Loretta from Alpha Nu and Shannon, Nicole and Marisa from Theta teamed up to create a Beta Sigma Phi display in the Ramstein Library on Saturday 2 August. We met up with Karin Anderson of Alpha Nu for breakfast at JR Rockers to discuss the game plan then headed over to the library to get to work.

On 31 Jul, Shannon and Nicole got tattoos. It was Nicole's first and Shannon's second. Becky was on hand to take pics and offer moral support. She'll be getting one of her own on 13 Aug. Stayed tuned for those pics!

On 26 Jul, Shannon and Nicole welcomed back our long-lost sister Becky from her year-long deployment to Iraq. Becky's an officer in the US Army and will be PCSing to the States in October...in the meantime, we're really happy she's home with us even if it's for a short while!!!

On 18 Jul we said goodbye to our newest sister, Jenifer. We wish her the best! Take care Jenifer and look forward to being sisters from afar.

Nicole, our very own chapter Stampin' Up Demonstrator, hosted a craft session at her house on 17 Jul 08. We had a lot of fun getting familiar with the products and putting together gift boxes.

On 11 July 2008, Shannon and Nicole played Coach Bag Bingo in the hopes of winning one of the great bags offered as prizes. But alas, we did not. We did however make a new friend, Becky. We hope to have her join us at a sorority event soon.

On 23 June 2008, Shannon, Nicole and Marisa performed a Pledge Ritual for newest sister, Jenifer. Although Jenifer is leaving us next month, we're happy to have her as a sister...even for a short time.

On 1 June 2008, Marisa graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Masters Degree. Kimberly and Shannon were on hand to witness the event and of course...snap photos!
