members so very much through the years and can't imagine my happy life without Alpha Chi
friends. Chapter letters and the newsletter make our mail special." Email: rstrasburger@att.net

Alpha Chi Omega sisterhood. We have been getting together annually for over 36 years! We
meet at a different sister's house across the country, ranging from California, Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois and Washington. We're too old to sleep on air mattresses, so next we'll be in Santa Fe,
New Mexico!" Email: jan.knaus@gmail.com
