Annual AGS Spring Convention

This upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday members will be in Ontario, Ca for the annual Alpha Gamma Sigma convention. We will be checking in at 5 p.m. Friday, staying all Saturday for workshops and a scholarship banquet, and then leaving Sunday after closing speeches.

The theme for this year’s spring convention is “Everyday Heros” and we will be entering in a “badge” and newsletter that fits these themes. Last year we won “Most Artistic” for the bage and “Most Informative”/”Best Graphics” for the newsletter.

MS Walk

April 18th was the annual MS Walk. Alpha Iota brought in a total of $816 and team captains were Stephanie Conley and Jessica Aquirre. Our team consisted of Diana Mercado, Stephanie Conley, Joshua Mendoza, Ben Morales, Brittany Nesbitt, Anthony Neal, Florencia Gomez, Jessica Aguirre, Kristin Barber and Nicole Davidsohn. We were also walking with past adivsor and friend Dr. Jaffe, Alpha Iota members Eliana Carta and Paul Ruedas (also there for Significant Ambitions) and his brother John Ruedas — President of Significant Ambitions.

Members had a great time walking the 5k and the 10k distances and enjoyed the BBQ after.

Message From Advisor

Dear Alpha Iota Members,

Your dues establish your membership status, active $15 and inactive $30.
Five dollars of all dues go back to Alpha Gamma Sigma organization.
The club functions best when members pay in a timely manner.  The
deadline for active membership is April 3.  Active members must keep a
service point sheet (completing 15 per semester*) and attend a majority
of meetings, Fridays at 12:30 in LS2 139.  Please see Ms. McGuire for
questions regarding service points.  Inactive members who are graduating
or transferring with 60 completed units by S09 should also pay by the
deadline and, if eligible, fill out a permanent membership application
found outside OF3 166. You may be eligible to wear a gold stole at
graduation.  We sew them ourselves, so we need a count by 4/3.

Inactive members not finishing this semester can pay at any time during
the semester until the end, but we appreciate a timely payment.

There is a list of membership status outside more office door, OF3 166,
if you need to verify your status. Please do not send me emails asking
if you are on the list; it is your responsibility to check the list or
come to a meeting.


Karen Lubick
