District XVII Yoplait Lid Challenge

This year, Zeta Tau Alpha's goal is to collect 300,000 pink Yoplait lids in the Save Lids to Save Lives campaign. I am happy to say that last year our district had three chapters participate, and we turned in 2,386 lids!

My goal this year is for all five of our active alumnae chapters to participate and turn in a total of 3,000 lids. This would be only 1% of ZTA's overall goal, but it would mean collecting 614 more lids than last year.

I challenge all of you to make a difference. Every lid matters! Even if you do not belong to an alumnae chapter, you can save lids and turn them in on behalf of an alumnae (or collegiate) chapter. Just mail them to ZTA's International Office (for details, go to www.zetataualpha.org).

Alumnae chapters should do just a little more this year than you did last year. For some, that might mean giving the collection boxes and posters to your members. Encourage them to put them out at their workplaces, churches, gyms, or other areas. Other chapters might host specific events and partner with grocery stores. Media loves this cause, so get a local radio station to give your event some PR!

Pink lids are in stores now and can be turned in up to December 31. Get out there, eat some yogurt and save the lids!
