Movie Night!

Come all ye fair movie lovers!! Thursday, April 8th, 7:00 PM - at Callie's house. Please email or call for directions.

There will be popcorn, candy, and . . . cupcakes (this has significance with the movie we are watching . . .) Please feel free to bring whatever you want to snack on, as well.

Girls' Night

I know this is terribly last minute, but I feel like I haven't seen most of you in forever! Let's fix that - First and Second year-ers, this is the weekend before test block and we all know the boys will be buried in work. For me, that normally means hanging out on the couch, with the dog, watching What Not to Wear or Say Yes To The Dress (I heart TLC!). But hey, figured I'd see if any of you want to hang out instead! I've got two ideas: Girl's Night Out: First Fridays in the Paseo All the lovely little galleries in the Paseo are open from 6-10, some w/ live music, free food and more. Let's go wander in and out and look at some art, then get a drink or two at one of the fantastic restaurants/bars there. The wandering bit is free, the drinking is up to you! Girl's Night In: Fun and Games at My House Come over to my house and hang out - we'll order pizza, have some wine and play board games!! I have a million versions of Trivial Pursuit, plus Clue, Scrabble, Monopoly and more. And bring your own fave games, too. A very low key evening w/ friends. And of course, this is not just an invitation for the First/Seconds - if your man's a Third, Fourth, MPH or whatever - come play!! Let me know if you're coming and whether you vote In or Out!

Heart Walk

There are quite a few of you that are interested in participating in the American Heart Association Walk on April 17th. It's going to be great fun! I have created a team for our alliance, so we can take part together. Please follow the steps below to sign up for the walk.

- Go to the following link: http://heartwalk.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=315631

- Click on the red circle in the middle of the page that says, "Register"

- Accept the terms

- Then, click "Join a Team"

- Our team's name is 'Oklahoma Medical Student Alliance.' I am listed as the team leader.

Based on responses to my original email, there are about 10 ladies that want to participate. I put our team recruitment goal at 12, but if we exceed that number it would rock! I also had to list a donation goal, so I thought if each of us could raise $50.00, that would bring our total donation to $600.00. Of course, if you can raise more than that, it would be fabulous!! Or, if you don't have time for fundraising, just sign up to join us in the walk. It will be fun and healthy for our own hearts - in more than one way.

FYI: The website also lists easy ways in which you can fundraise: emails to friends, family, etc. So feel free to snoop around the site . . . If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me or call me. If you have issues with the website and/or signing up, let me know that, too, so I can straighten the issues out.

Movie Night!

Hellloooo! Hope you're all enjoying the spring break and the fantastic weather we've been having! No, we haven't forgotten about movie night this month - the details are below.

Tuesday, March 23rd @ 6:30 pm
Stacy Dunn's House - 3805 NW 58th St., OKC, OK 73112

Stacy has volunteered to make us enchiladas for dinner - bring your favorite salsa and it'll be a fiesta!! Please RSVP to this address and call Stacy @ 785.817.9095 if you have any questions!

wanna go for a walk?

There have been a few changes in the way we are going to give of our time to others.

So, since the school year is on the downhill slide, it's pretty much too late to get too involved with a specific charity as we had planned. But, we don't want to go the entire spring without getting together and doing something.

So, this is what I was thinking . . .

On April 17th the American Heart Association is hosting a walk downtown. I thought this would be fun for us to enter as a group. Plus, no need to train for this one, only walking required! This is a great way for us to get together as a team, get a bit of exercise and support a great cause.

So, let me know if you are interested in joining up and I will follow up with details as soon as I know about how many of you are interested. Thank you!

Have a great weekend & a great SPRING BREAK

(if you are lucky enough to get one)!!!

wine tasting POSTPONED

Ladies - Bad (or good) news - we're postponing the wine tasting. It will not be held this Saturday. We are working on a new date, March 26th looks promising, but as soon as I have more details, I'll pass them on. Have a great spring break and we'll reconvene in 10 days or so!

Congrats Misty & Bryan

Well, one of our own has some very exciting news...

Bryan Peck asked Misty Quach to marry him!

(And she said yes!!!)

So, next time you see her give her a big hug and ask lots of questions...I am sure she will be happy to share and I am not going to steal her thunder by telling you the specifics here.

wine tasting

So, it's taken a while, but finally, the event we've all been waiting for:

Wine Tasting
Saturday, March 13th
7:30-9:30 pm
$5.00/person

We will gather at the home of Dr and Mrs Bookman. Mrs Bookman is a member of the county Alliance who has graciously offered her home to us for this event (and I hear it's quite the place!). Prior to tasting, I'll give a brief wine primer to the group, hand out some basic notes and tasting sheets. I'll guide us through a group tasting, in which we'll taste several wines of varying styles, at least 8, at most 12.

There will be light hors d'oeuvres, but plan to have some dinner beforehand! And let's dress up, not a ton, but just a little bit - make it a bit of a swanky, sophisticated party, no?

Also - bring your husbands/fiances/boyfriends, if they're available and you want to! If not, come anyway. It's going to be so much fun!

The $5 goes to offset the cost of wine/food. Please RSVP to this email if you plan to come, so that I can get an accurate idea of budget - the amount of money will dramatically affect the quality of wines we will taste!

If you have any questions at all, give Aubrae a call @ 845-702-5480.
