Last year the actives initiated a successful Tiki party to raise $2,500 for the Norma Livingston Foundation, which supports ovarian cancer research. We as alumni chipped in an additional $500 to round off the contribution. This event was held in honor of Lori Johnson, who lost her life to this disease 7 years ago. Her husband, Johnny Johnson \u201979, and son, Luke Johnson \u201915, are both Eta Dekes. Johnny is very involved in fundraising for this cause in Birmingham, Alabama. As a result of the gift, Dean Allen Groves received a letter of praise of the actives\u2019 leadership and spirit of giving from the Norma Livingston Foundation.<\/p>\n
We have decided to start an annual golf event for the alumni, actives, and members of the Charlottesville community. Already, we have selected a date and venue: Saturday, April 5 at the University\u2019s Birdwood golf course. Tee off is scheduled for 9:30 AM. We will offer a catered lunch and a fine golf course, cold beer, and good fun. There will be a number of prizes for the winners! We will have more information about this event in January.<\/p>\n
Our first year goal is to have 12 active players, 24 Alumni players, and 12 more from the Charlottesville community for a total of 12 foursomes. The actives plan to hold a second and better Tiki party on Saturday afternoon the 12th of April.<\/p>\n
