Whittier Weekend 2011
October 21-23
The Palmer Society celebrated a lot in 2011,
including the 90th anniversary of our founding. In Spring 1921,
a group of women gathered to start a literary society and honored a
pioneer in womens education, Alice Freeman Palmer, by adopting her name.
This a clever endeavor is something Palmer actives and alumnae celebrated
well during the annual Whittier
Weekend, from October 21-23. We hope all our sisters had terrific time
during this special Anniversary event.
Weekend Highlights
Palmer Social Mixer Fri. 10/21
The Palmer Alumnae Leadership Council hosted
an Open House during the early Friday evening hours at the Ellis home in Uptown Whittier.
This was a perfect
meeting point for Palmer sisters and their guests a casual event is a
great opportunity to enjoy a warm and friendly atmosphere of conversation,
refreshments and reconnecting on your way into town or as a start to a
memorable evening.
Anniversary Brunch
Congratulations to Miss Wendy Barrios 12 and the
Palmer Actives for planning a wonderful brunch event. It was the highlight
of the weekend.
No-host Social Hour Sat. 10/22
All Poets were welcome to this welcoming change of pace
from the usual post-game haunt. This event was well received and the
Alumnae Leadership Council will look into hosting similar events at future
Whittier Weekend.
3rd Annual Casino Night
Sat. 10/22

Palmer Sisters signed up for our
The Palmer Society Green Homecoming
