February events

2010-02-01T22:20:00.000-08:00

So although we don't have any official events in February, we'd like to let you know about 2 possibilities to meet with other Phi Mus and enjoy some fun on the town.

The first event is on February 20th, from 4 to 7pm at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland. It is the annual "Cupcake Challenge" and for an entrance fee of $40 you will be able to sample some of our cities best cupcakes. Post a comment on this blog if you're thinking of coming so other Phi Mus can meet up with you. For more information see: http://www.drinkeatplay.com/cupcakechallenge/.

The second event is on February 23rd, when you can get a free short stack at IHOP locations around the US and benefit the Children's Miracle Network. A group of LA Alums will be gathering at the IHOP on Sepulveda and National in West LA at 7pm. IHOP is giving away pancakes all day and all they're asking in return is that you consider making a donation to CMN. For more information see: http://ihoppancakeday.com/. Hope to see you there!

Join us for our 2010 events!

2010-01-31T14:56:00.000-08:00

Our 2010 planning meeting was held at the home of Helen Elson (thank you Helen!) and as you can see in the column to the right, we have several events planned and more to come. Please come back here often to see what's going on with the L.A. Alumnae chapter and hopefully you can join us at one or more of our events.

Our new website

2009-12-23T22:15:00.000-08:00

When Yahoo closed their Geocities web hosting, it left us without a website or a way to communicate to our members and other Phi Mu Alumnae. So for 2010 we are going to try a Phi Mu blog. Here you will find our schedule of events, chapter information and hopefully photos of our past events.

Our annual planning event will be on January 30th at 2:00pm at the home of Helen Elson. For details, please email us at: phimula@gmail.com. After we have set our calendar, we will post the dates here hopefully more information about our chapter.
