Winter CME

AOOA Jewelry Party
The AOOA hosted a wonderful get together to start the day off.  Here's a a shot I caught of the group before getting started.

After some chit-chat and enjoying some delicious hors d'oeuvres it was time to get busy making jewelry.

Wine & Cigar Pull Fundraiser
We had numerous donations coming in across the board with wine and cigar to help this fundraiser go off without a hitch.  We are so grateful for each and EVERY one of those donations.  This event would not have been possible without them and we fully recognize that and thank you all beyond words!!

There was seriously so much success from this event.  Here are some of the pictures we caught from the evening.

SAA's December

The AOOA hosts a Christmas Tea every year for the SAA members.  This year was specifically an English High Tea, with a fascinator (English hat) contest.

No more cloth/shoe string lanyards for us, thank you President, Walli Daniel!  =)

A few of us with the our AOOA president, Walli Daniel.  Thank you so much for opening your home for this event, it was beautiful.
 

*Meal for Finals*
December 3-6, 2012

At the end of every fall semester we give the students a chance to get a week of home cooked meals.  We sell tickets a few weeks prior and then they can spend as much time studying at the school without having to worry about what they're going to eat.

 *SAA Christmas Party*
December 4, 2012

We had our annual Christmas party and had a white elephant gift exchange, plus a cookie exchange. 

Yummo!

Love these ladies!!

Looking forward to our spring semester!
