Date Dash The whole house was fooled when they were told to come to the house for an emergency meeting. Instead, we were told we had two hours to find a date and a costume for a date party that night. The girls frantically ran around the house trying to figure out what to wear and who to bring. The night turned out to be a great start to the new school year. Thanks to Heather Hall for organizing this memorable event!

Omega Just Wish For It! 5k Fun Run/Walk (11.06.05)
On your mark, get set, go! This was Chi O’s second year hosting
a 5k fun run/walk to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation of Colorado. Together
our 5k and spring BBQ help us raise enough money to grant a wish for a
child in Colorado. This is a great philanthropy because we actually meet
the children we are helping. Thanks to everyone who donated their time
and money to a great cause. And to anyone who couldn’t make it,
we’ll see you next fall, because we hope this race will only get
bigger! Click here to view the pictures.
