ZTA & Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives

Believe it or not Zetas, it’s time to start collecting those pink yogurt lids that read “SAVE LIDS TO SAVE LIVES!” Last year was nothing short of an incredible lid collection with over 212,000 lids, and this year we are confident we will reach our goal of 300,000 lids.

Each lid collected will provide $0.10 to the ZTA chapter's local Komen affiliate and $0.05 to the ZTA Foundation. Any pink lid counts, including those on Yoplait smoothies. By now each collegiate and alumnae chapter should have received a starter kit from our friends at Yoplait. Anyone (including friends and family) can mail lids directly to IO, Attn: Lid Collection at 3450 Founders Rd. Indianapolis, IN 46268. Make sure that the alumnae or collegiate chapter is noted so that it can get credit for the lids. Special envelopes are not required, and 12 cleaned and flattened lids will mail with a first class stamp.

Be sure to check out all of the great resources and collection updates on ZTA's website (www.zetataualpha.org). You can also join the "Official ZTA and Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives Fan Page" on Facebook!

Save the Date: Zeta Day 2009

Kansas/Missouri Zeta Day takes place on Saturday, April 18, 2009. Mark your calendars and plan to attend now. We will gather in St. Louis to celebrate Pinkapalooza!

Alumna Certificate of Merit Award

Awarded by National Council, the COM is granted to ZTA alumnae who have made an outstanding contribution to the Fraternity over an extended period of time. Recipient reccommendations can be made by the alumnae organization's President (or another officer, if the President is recommended), the District President or a member of National Council.

• Nominations are due to the District President October 1st; they can be emailed
• The candidate must have held a significant position within the Fraternity for at least 7 years; the current year does not count.
• If a candidate has served in more than one position in a year, list each position separately.
• Multiple positions within a year do not count as more than one year of service.
• Remember, there must be a minimum of seven entries for years of service. Dates must accompany these entries.
• Only the following positions are considered by National Council as officers: President, Vice President (I & II), Secretary, Treasurer and Historian-Reporter.
• Committee Chairs do not count as significant service (although we realize that many women put a great deal of effort into this).
• After listing the nominee's service, provide a brief paragraph about the candidate's special talents or efforts.
• Nominations are SECRET; do not let the candidate know she has been nominated. It will be a fun surprise at Zeta Day!
