ATOMS Luncheon

Thursday, we joined the ATOMS (Auxiliary for the Tulsa Osteopathic Medical Society) for their annual luncheon at Jan Calabrese's beautiful home.
Kristin Halsell, ATOMS President, started it off with a brief meeting.

Walli Daniels, AOOA President, presented Kristin with a leadership devotional before the festivities began to honor all of her hard work and great leadership.

Then, Donna Cannon took over with her amazing cooking abilities.
 We had: Tomato Bisque, Salad w/ Balsamic Dressing, Stuffed Bell Peppers and Pumpkin Mousse Trifle.

Later she showed us how to make parmesan crisps. And Ryan Miller, one of our Manvocates, joined in to mold it into a bowl.  =)

OSU-COM's SAA had a great turn out.

Meet N' Greet

Last Friday was our annual Meet N' Greet. 

We were ready for all the new members with packets, pens, name tags and membership forms.

We also sold some of our t-shirts.  If you're still wanting one message me on facebook or email me.

We love to mingle!!

The kids had a blast as well.

*BUNCO TIME*
This was a first for a lot of people but I think it went great.  We had questions set up for each round and all these girls love to talk, so getting to know each other wasn't a problem.

A big thanks to the Alumni Office for the AWESOME prize bags and Ryan Miller for being the MC for the night!!

Apryl and Allison were the winning team.
Allison also won the most Buncos, which included the the bag and a P.F. Changs giftcard. She got the giftcard and we needed to have a face off for the final bag.

The "Bunc-Off" between Kirsten and Jessica for the 2nd most Buncos.

Congratulations Jessica! 

A few people had to head out early but we still had a pretty good size group at the end of the night.

So glad we had such a good turn out and I can wait for the rest of the year!!

-Janelle, SAA President
