Gwen ' s poem , "This Earth", was written for Earth Day, April 22, 1970. She included it in her book Beyond T ime. Her books give inspiration and / peace: her stationery j delights with its whimsy,

For our 50th anniversary celebration , Gwen planned and furnished favors , programs, and decorations for the Farewell Luncheon. For our 75th anniversary, he and I cochaired the NPC luncheon, for which she designed and furnished the programs and was the principal peaker. Again in 1992, she furnished invitations and gifts of her books to guests at our PC Friendship Reception. Gwen designed a yellow rose specifically for the programs and favors , which she donated for the formal banquet.
Gwen IS the business, IS Presscraft Papers. She oversees every aspect of the business. What began as hand block printed note papers in her home has grown to over 3700 different designs, using 15 Heidelberg presses, a large staff, her 285-acre wi ldlife sanctuary, and her millions of fans via mail order. Even at age 89, she delights in welcoming hundreds of visitors a day during summer months to her print shop.
Gwen Frostic has been extensively and nationally honored by others for both her professional achievements and for environmental contributions. Among her honors are the Distinguished Service Award from the Michigan Tourist Association ; the Sarah Chapman Francis Literary Award from the Garden Clubs of America; a Certificate of Recognition from the Michigan Horticultural Society and membership in the Michigan Women 's Hall of Fame , Who 's Who-World Women , Who's Who-Executives, and International Who 's Who of Professionals.

"My fri ends ask, 'Are you going to retire? ' Well, I don ' t have any reason to retire," says Ruth Seibert, Chi. " long as th e Lord gives m e stre ng th and health , I'm going to continue playing the organ. "
Ruth has been the organist a t First Church in Martinsburg, W.Va. , for 50 years, and has never missed a Sunday. Her vacations have to begin on Monda and end on Saturday so that she can play the Moller pipe organ in church on Sunday.
She ce lebrated her 50th anniversary as organist by giving a Maas-Rowe Carillon to the church. The church tower had been without bell for o rne time . "I am marking the occa ion," she said, "as a mileston e in m life because the Lord has been so good to me and allowed m e to play the organ ever y Sunday. Music has been m whole life. "

Dear Alumnae Sisters, You are in Alpha Sigma Tau for life
and your support of the alumnae organization is one of the best ways for you to acknowledge your sisterhood.
This sentence introduces the alumnae dues form you received in May 1995. It may at first appear to be a simple statement, but if you read more closely you wi ll see the deeper meaning. Key words which apply to each alumna can be identified in this statement.
Alpha Sigma Tau is a sisterhood with many benefits that can be enjoyed. Remember your college days and the bonds that were formed? You became part of a group of young women. You grew together into the mature women that exemplify Alpha Sigma Tau . Does this have to end once you graduate and enter the alumnae organization? The answer is an emphatic 0! The bonds of sisterhood continue well into the alumnae organization. Old friendships
are kept, but new ones are also formed. Don't miss the opportunity to reap the benefits of being an involved alumna.
Think back to the commitment you made to Alpha Sigma Tau at the time of your initiation. You are a member for life. A lifetime of friendships and activities can be yours. A lifetime of living the high ideals for which Alpha Sigma Tau stands can be yours. The alumnae organization encourages members to grow personally and professionally. Take advantage of the opportunity to belong to a women's organization that sets itself to high standards.
Along with the benefits of membership come the re pon ibilities of membership. Alpha Sigma Tau need your support. As Alpha Sigma Tau prepares for its lOOth anniversary, many alumnae are rededicating themselve to Alpha Sigma Tau. Alumnae upport, financial and personal time, are imperative if our Sorority is to continue meeting the many needs of its mem-
bers. Alpha Sigma Tau needs your active support. Be an anchored alumna! What you can do: • Pay your alumnae dues by June 1
of each year • Keep your address current with
National Headquarters • Join an alumnae chapter • Organize an alumnae chapter if
there i none in your area • Volunteer to serve on the National
Staff Ye , membership and its benefits
are for life. Alpha Sigma Tau has given much to each of it member and deserve to be given the very be t in return. Live the tatement, "I am anAlpha Sigma Tau," rather than, "I wa an Alpha Sigma Tau."
In our i terhood,
~&iL~ Mary Beth Kelley Director of Alumnae
Alumnae Mfiliation...___ _______ _ Most of us think of rush, pledging,
and initia tion as the steps to Alpha Sigma Tau membership. There is another way women can become members of Alpha Sigma Tau-alumnae affiliation. Women who have at least one year of college credit who are not a member of another PC group may affiliate with the Sorority. Many women did not have the opportunity to join a sorority during college, but now are ready to be part of our sisterhood.
Who is eligible for alumnae affiliation? The alumnae of a local sorority which is affiliating with Alpha Sigma Tau, patronesses of collegiate chapters, chapter advisers, women from the community, and family members are examp les of e ligible women. Do yo u know a woman from your family, place of employmen t, or neighborhood who possesses the high ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau? If so, he should be introduced to Alpha Sigma Tau. Invite her to take part in socia ls and philanthropic projects.
The pro e for affiliation i very
8
simple. An eligible woman i recommended for membership by an initiated member, collegiate chapter, or alumnae chapter. Permission to affiliate i granted by the ational Organization. The woman pays the affiliation fee and is initiated into Alpha Sigma Tau.
One such member i Ricki Bargman Trosen, Alpha Sigma. Since her affiliation Ricki has served in many capacities including Alpha Sigma Chapter Adviser, Kappa Di trict President, National Secretary, ational Vice President, and is currently Director of Collegiate Chapters.
The Buffalo Alumnae Chapter took advantage of this procedure by initiating three alumnae affiliate . The women had been members of a local sorority at the State Univer ity of New York at Buffalo. They wanted to continue the ir sorority experience and chose to become part of Alpha Sigma Tau.
Alpha Sigma Tau is alwa looking for quali ty women to become member . If you know omeone who quali-
fie , plea e take the time to introduce her to Alpha igma Tau. It could be time well pent. For more information about alumnae affiliation, plea e contact Mary Beth Kelle y, Director of Alumnae, 22 Boulevard, Point Marion , PA 15474.

Annville, PA:
We were eager to get started, beginning with the rush program the first week that the students were on campus. For one of our infonnal rushes, we continued the birthday party idea since our chapter is only three years old, giving us a good turnout of inter-
ested women for our formal rush. Pledging began in February,with
the bes t organized pl edge program we've had in our three years. The pledge program brought the pledges together as a unit as well as bringing the present s isters c loser together, eventuall y becoming one happy family on March 10, when we initiated seven pledges.
The sisters volunteered their services to those who were unabl e to shovel out their sidewalks and dri veways by remaining on call fo r Operation Snow program for two weeks during the winter season. Al so , fo r Valentine's Day, the s is ters made homemade valentines for the elderly and distributed them in the loca l nursing home making a lot oflonely people very happy.
We're looking forward to the activities during Greek week and welcoming returning sisters for the Alumnae weekend during Spring Arts weekend.
