ADSOEF Ticket Auction


The return of our beloved state convention means the return of the popular ADSOEF ticket auction. The auction is just one of the fun ways to support the work of the Alpha Delta State Ohio Educational Foundation. Members may purchase tickets starting on Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon for $1.00 for one or six for $5.00.  With all the great prizes available, we know you will want more than one. Anyone with a ticket can win, but always remember, the real winner of our fun ticket auction is ADSOEF and the recipients of awards. 


P.S.  Bring along address labels to save time and writing on the back of each ticket you purchase.  See you at convention!

Birthday Luncheon on Saturday

at OSO State Convention


In honor of the 85th Anniversary of the founding of Ohio State Organization, which in my heart will always be called Alpha Delta State, the ADSOEF Fundraising Committee set $8,500.00 as the goal for the year. With generous donations from individuals and chapters that total has been realized, yet let’s keep the celebration going.  The birthday luncheon during the convention will give another opportunity to Open Your Heart for the Future of Education.  Envelopes which list each ADSOEF fund will be available for your contribution.  It is always possible to make your gift in honor or in memory of a special person. So please bring a check or cash with you to the luncheon on April 15.  Let’s celebrate our OSO birthday and the continued success of ADSOEF!   


The Fundraising Committee members include: Diane Brogan-Adams, Delta Kappa; Debbie Van Arsdale, Mu; Jackie Thase-Burch, Alpha Upsilon;  and Barb Zirke, Alpha Psi.  Beth Archer, Chairman, Alpha Psi.
