Fall 2012 Parents Club Introduction

Hello WSU AXO Parents,

Your daughters are either current or new members of AXO sorority at WSU. We are proud to continue the tradition as a very active AXO Parent’s Club and are working to support the goals and ideals of the this chapter. The Parents Club club also raises funds that are used to offset costs to improve conditions at the chapter house as well as costs for activities that help bond the chapter members. You can see some of the results of the Parent’s Club funding in various postings to this blog site.

This summer we upgraded the flooring and furnishings to the TV or “crib” room, click here to see some of the pictures. We also contributed to a very successful rafting trip; please see  click here to see a video.

The AXO Parent’s Club meets as a group twice a year, Dad’s and Mom’s weekends where we update everyone on our finances, expenditures, and proposals for future needs. Membership in this club costs a nominal $25 per family per year. Another major source of funding are our auctions that we hold at both parent’s weekends, Fall and Spring. The meeting minutes for the last few parents’ weekends are posted to this blog site and as you can see, both have been very successful enabling the club to continue its mission.

We recently reviewed the active Parent’s club dues paid listing membership and noticed we only had 20 parents on the list. We decided that we needed to push for more active members and will use this upcoming Dad’s weekend to make the membership drive a priority. We asked the AXO executive board to provide us with an updated email address listing for all AXO Sorority members’ parents and are using that to reach out to all of you to consider supporting this club and your daughters. This listing provided us with 166 parent’s email addresses (since some ladies provided more than one email address).

Details for this year’s upcoming Dad’s weekend activities will be posted on the AXO Parent’s Club site as soon as they become available. As usual, we are looking for donations for the auction and are looking for a very successful and fun weekend.

Go Cougs!
