Remembering Sandy Behlmer

This just came in from Marcia Berman at Campbell Hall:

The Alumni Office has received several phone calls from people wanting to make donations in memory of Mrs. Behlmer.

The 3 organizations that the family has designated are: The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, Mr. Holland’s Opus and The Argyll Alumnae Scholarship Fund.

Marcia

That’s a wonderful idea. Please be sure to let the recipients know it is memory of Mrs. Behlmer.

What a great lady she was. I still can’t believe she’s gone.

Reminders

Hi ladies!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Passover/Easter/weekend!

Just a reminder that this Saturday is the Argyll “Celebration of Sisterhood” tea at Chado Teahouse in Pasadena, and we need to give a final count to the Tea House by THIS WEDNESDAY (the 15th).  If you would like to attend (and feel free to bring any woman who has been an inspiration in your life!), please make sure you sign up today or tomorrow. You may download the flyer here.

Then we only need 8 more people to sign up for the Revlon Run/Walk for women’s cancer research in order to be able to walk as “Team Argyll”.  The deadline is at 5pm THIS FRIDAY (the 17th).  If you are going to be able to walk with us, please go to:

http://www.revlonrunwalk.com

• Choose “Los Angeles”
• Click on “Register”
• Click on “Register Now” and fill out the form
• When it asks you for the team number, put 215 to be put on TEAM ARGYLL

Lastly, and most sadly, just a reminder that there will be a memorial service for Sandy Behlmer this Sunday, the 19th at 10:30am on campus.  I have been asked to speak on behalf of the Argyll alumnae and want to do just that – so if there is any memory or thought you would like to have shared at the service (I am happy to do it anonymously, if you wish), then please either email it to me here, or post it to either here or on the Argyll Academy Facebook page.

Thank you one and all for all your support!

Best always,

Torie

Join Team Argyll at the Revlon Run Walk

Please sign up and join Team Argyll at the Revlon Run walk for women on May 9th!

We need only a few more people to sign up by April 17th in order to qualify as a team.

More information may be found in the attached flyer.

Godspeed, Sandy Behlmer UPDATED

I just learned that Sandy Behlmer passed away.  As soon as I get more details I post them here for you.

We will never forget you, Mrs. Behlmer.

UPDATE: This email came in from Campbell Hall. It looks like a memorial service will be held Sunday, April 19, at 10:30 a.m. in the Garver Gym.

Argyll Alumnae Committee: March minutes

Before I post the minutes, I’d like to make a call for any Argyll alumnae involved in the catering profession… we have a job we’d like to give to an alumna.  Contact Torie for more information.

And now… the minutes:

Argyll Academy Alumnae Committee meeting
March 5, 2009
MINUTES

I. Feedback on Alumnae-Faculty event

• We all agreed that the restaurant, food and service were all excellent. The only thing we would like is to have more of the teachers there – and to find some of the older teachers who were at Argyll in the ’60’s and early ’70’s.
  • Are any of the teachers with whom Theresia stays in touch, in touch with any of the earlier teachers?
  • Maybe email the alums who are in the ‘64 – ‘74 classes to see if they know the whereabouts of any of the teachers

II. Assigning who will be handling what event

• April – Tea in Pasadena – Torie/Kathy
  • Kathy will be calling Chados to see cost/availability and will let Torie know – The theme for the tea will be “Celebration of Sisterhood” and each alum can bring a woman who has been influential in her life.
  • At the event, we will ask each alum to write down a way in which their guest has been influential in their life and then we will (anonymously, if they wish) share it with the group.

• May – Revlon Run – Kathy
  • Torie will be making and emailing info flyer to alums/ give mailing piece to Marcia to mail out
  • Kathy is going to meet with the Revlon folks the last week of March so we really need to have at least 25 people signed up by then – She will get more info on pricing for green T-shirts with white lettering that says “Team Argyll”. – We should begin asking our friends to walk with us

• June – Reunion – Toni

• July – Magic Castle (19th now) – Torie
  • Torie will be creating the info that should go on the CH web page in order for people to sign-up and pay for the brunch on-line. Marcia will work with her tech person to get it on the site.

• August – Ventura Happy Hour – TBD
  • Torie will check with Mindy to see if she will take this one.

• September Getty Museum – Torie
  • Torie has booked a docent and has gotten the info on the lunches. We will send out info on the lunches when we send out the invites and people can pick what they want and give that info when they RSVP
  • Torie will talk to Marcia about the best way for people to pay for their lunches.

• October – Cocktail Party at Laura’s – Toni
  • Toni will be in contact with Laura to see what we need to rent (tables, chairs, etc.)
  • Torie will post on the Argyll website, Facebook and Classmates. com to see if there is an Argyll alum who is a cateress.
  • Since October is breast cancer awareness month, we will do pink ribbon décor and have a list printed of “pink” products that donate money to breast cancer.
  • Torie will talk to Marcia about whether CH will pay for the catering of this event or if we need to charge the guests to attend.

• November – Happy Hour on Westside – Stacey

• December – Tea at Biltmore – Stacey

We also talked about have an “Out of Towner’s” event the weekend between Christmas and New Years (December 26th or 27th) – maybe a Happy Hour event or something casual. It was determined that teachers should be invited to all bigger events (everything except the Happy Hours) III. Future Meetings

• June 4th (decide on events for next year)
• September 10th (if that date works for Marcia and Mindy)
• December 3rd

Photos from the Argyll Faculty/Alumnae Luncheon – UPDATED WITH MORE PHOTOS

We missed all of you who couldn’t make our luncheon at Out Take Bistro and zowee… did we ever have a great time! Click on any of the photos below for a larger version and a description. I’m not the best photographer, but hey! I come awfully cheap.

Faculty in attendance: Theresia Cunningham, Louise Macatee, Julia Stesney, Karen Robertson Romney, Stephanie Heng, Kris Ragland… did I miss anyone?

We had alumnae from 1967 on up through the 1980s: what a fantastic turnout!

The food was great, too. ;-)

I didn’t write down names so I’m hoping some charitable alumnae with better memory retention will help me out; I’ll post any corrections as soon as I get them. (If I misspelled anyone’s names, I’m so sorry! Just let me know and I’ll fix EVERYTHING.)

And don’t forget to check out Brooke Killingsworth’s Facebook group for Argyll Alumnae. You’ll meet even more of your classmates and it’s FREE. You won’t get spammed like you will at Classmates.com or Reunion.com, either.

Sorry for the delay in posting these! You can click on any one of these thumbnails for a larger photo.

I could only stay for the first part of the day; if anyone who stayed for the lunch would like to write of their experiences, please feel free to post them below or send them to me and I’ll post them for you. I wish I could’ve stayed all day!

(Photos from the Argyll Faculty/Alumnae Luncheon on Feb 22 will be posted tonight!)
