| Parents' Weekend 2008 |
The women of Gamma Phi Beta and their families enjoyed time together at this year's Parent's Week end dinner and auction on Friday, September 19, 2008. Almost 200 people were in attendance at the Georgetowne Club where a buffet dinner was served. During the evening, Ellie Flood (president), Laura Hund (public relations VP), and Beth Cavender (philanthropy chair) spoke, we showed a slideshow of pictures from the year, and concluded the evening with our Parent/Daughter look-a-like contest. The winners this year were Megan Knowles and her dad, Pat Knowles...congratulations!
We also had 25 items at our auction this year, all generously donated by families of Gamma Phi's. The silent auction was a huge success, raising close to $2,000. Thank you to everyone who donated and bid on items. All the money raised goes towards our Gamma Phi Fall Break Service Trip.
On Saturday, Septermber 20th, senior Gamma Phi's and their parents attended a wine tasting event at Wine Styles.
