Please join us for lunch and a gift-wrapping event to
prepare care packages for current Wellesley students from
Indiana.
Date: Saturday, May 6, 2006
Time: 1:15 p.m.
Place: Oh Yumm Bistro, 5615 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis
RSVP: Carolyn Bosserman,
or (317) 844-5328.
Items to bring: post-it notes, mechanical pencils, erasers,
packets of coffee, tea, lemonade or hot chocolate, microwave
popcorn, gum, chocolate, or stationery for our encouraging
notes. Let Carolyn know what you intend to bring so we
have a good variety. When you send your reply I will be
able to tell you how many packages we are making (still
determining that number!)

Fall Event
This past winter, club member Suzanne
Fong '74 offered to host a club gathering at her
home on the Butler University
campus at some future date. If you would like to help
organize a gathering in conjunction with a Butler
event such as
a ballet, play, concert, or lecture (see www.Butler.edu),
please contact Suzanne
or Carolyn Bosserman.

Club Dues
The local Wellesley Alumnae Clubs exist for the benefit
of the local alumnae and are supported by local donations.
Our Club relies primarily on annual dues to keep our club
active, informed, and involved. Your annual dues are used
to finance our annual contribution to the College and to
fund Book Awards, club events, and club mailings. Our gift
to the college supports both the Frances Hershey Moore
Faculty Salary Advancement Fund and the Indianapolis Wellesley
Club Scholarship Fund.
Please send your 2005-06 dues of $20 (payable to the Wellesley
College Fund) to:
Nancy Stone Dickinson '55
5173 N. Kenwood Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46208
Please note that if you are a "young alumna" from
the classes of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005, your
dues are only $10.00.
***************
Book Awards
Thanks to Carolyn Murphy for coordinating the book award
program again this year. This spring she has delivered
books to University High School, Carmel High School, Lawrence
North, and Park Tudor School. She has also contacted Brebeuf
Jesuit Preparatory School, which gives its awards in the
fall.

Club Officers
For the 2005/2006 year, our board consists of three members:
President: Carolyn Whitney Bosserman '81
Treasurer: Nancy Stone Dickinson '55
Alumnae Admissions Representative: Carolyn Saxer Murphy
'90
All three officers have served for more than six years,
and would appreciate some help. We also need a Secretary
and a Vice President of Programming (VPP). Without them,
your President must assume three roles. The secretary sends
out a few newsletters a year and circulates a computer-generated
club roster every few years (that the College provides).
The VPP assists the board by planning occasional programs
and publicizing them in the newsletters. Here are some
other ways you can contribute to our club:
* Contact a Club Officer with ideas for activities, events,
or communication
* Serve as an informal advisor to the officers, providing
guidance and/or suggestions on activities, events, etc.
* Host an event or serve on a committee to plan an
event
* Offer to make telephone calls to follow up on invites,
prospective students, etc.
* Provide items for student care packages
Please contact any board member to volunteer.
