Doupe and Fiorillo Honored In 2013
Meredith Doupe and Joan Fiorillo were both recognized in separate events
this past year for their outstanding contributions to our chapter. Meredith was
honored at Founders Day for a decade of executive board work first as VP
Programming and then as VP Communications. She was responsible for
expanding our programs to include Girls Nights Out and Lunch Bunches and
for updating our newsletter and creating our website. In addition, to the Stellar
Award, our annual Collegiate Scholarship was named in her honor (see
recipient’s story on page 8).
Joan Fiorillo received a Stellar Award at our Board and Chair thank you
meeting in May. Joan was thanked for her 12 years of service as our
Historian. Joan was responsible for recording our chapter’s history first by
taking pictures and then creating beautiful scrapbooks and more recently Joan
helped us move to the digital world by working with Meredith to upload our
pictures to social media and our website.
Meredith and Joan may not be in leadership roles but they will both remain
active Greater Naples members and I know you join me in thanking them for
their service and recognizing them for ‘doing good’ for over 20 years
combined!

President’s Letter By Lisa Honig
Hats Off to Greater Naples! I cannot help reiterating our
Founders Day theme because it is such a perfect way to
recognize yet another fabulous year while we also look
forward to the new season. I am honored that you have
elected me as your President for two more years and
along with a fabulous board we plan to create yet another
season of programming, events, activities, volunteer
opportunities and even the chance to help a collegiate
chapter to keep you all engaged and active!
We have five returning Board members: Diane Bauman
(VP Foundation), Stacey Deffenbaugh (VP Programming),
Karen Smith (VP Membership), Karin Herrmann (VP
Finance) and Carole Feagler (Recording Secretary) and
one new board member Andrea Pandazi (VP
Communications) – these women work tirelessly to lay the
foundation for this wonderful chapter! Supporting the
board and working with the members are 17 dedicated
chairwomen who lend their expertise to a variety of
positions. We have three first time chairwomen this year
and I want to name them: Judy Wick, Sally Hoffman and
Kim Lagasse. Thank you to all of our chairs for giving their
time to help our chapter excel!
I also want to recognize and thank all of our members
because it’s you that make us special by giving your time,
talent and treasure to the Greater Naples Alumnae Group.
You are all busy women who work, raise children, take
care of parents, are active in sports and boards and still
find the time to also participate in our chapter. Because of
you we have once again been honored with the 5 Star
Award! I am constantly amazed at how each and every
year we can top the year before in every category. Let’s
look at just some of the components of the 5 Star Award
and how we did it again:
Membership: 101 dues paid members which as a number
is terrific but of more importance is the number of you that
participate! This chapter welcomes all alumnae whether
they can attend one event or all of them because it’s about
our sisterhood and doing good! We also welcomed 11 new
members to our chapter and they represent a wide range
of ages, backgrounds and interests.
Programming: We added new special events this year
such as the Ritz Carlton Tea and Afternoon at The Phil
that showed how open you all are to new activities even if
they do cost a bit more. Attendance at all of our events is
strong and I love seeing how many different women come
to each event. We want to provide you with options so
that you can pick and choose those events that best fit
your schedules and interests. (continued on page 3)

President’s Letter (continued)
By Lisa Honig
Philanthropy: You continue to support the Bonita Springs Lions Eye Clinic, the Naples Lions’ preschool
vision screenings and the Lighthouse of Collier’s children’s summer camp with over 1,500 volunteer hours.
We are consistently over 1,000 hours per year and that is a huge number for a group of women such as
ours in a seasonal community – remember we do most of this in just 4 months!
Fundraising: We raised over $3,200 this year so that we could provide support to local organizations, a
collegian and a sister in need.
Communications: After years of talking about it we finally launched our website
www.greaternaples.deltagamma.org and it is a treasure trove of information about our chapter. I hope you
all use it regularly when you want to find out what is going on in our chapter. More than 90% of our dues
paying members now have email which is a huge increase from just 5 years ago. This allows us to get
information to you that is current and ‘just in time’.
Sisterhood: We like to have fun and go to lunches and plays and fashion shows but we also put our
sisters first. In times of need, health issues and loss you come through to provide support, meals and
prayers to help our sisters through these times of crisis. I hear time and time again how much your notes
and words of encouragement mean to our sisters when they need them the most.
I mention all of this because I had the opportunity to represent our chapter at the Alumnae Institute in
Columbus Ohio this past April. This event is held every four years and is an opportunity for alumnae
chapter presidents and collegiate chapter advisors to come together and via a structured program hone old
skills and learn new ones so that we can be the best possible leaders of our chapters. We had sessions
on leadership style and how it affects groups, on volunteers and how to lead them, on coaching and
mentoring, and succession planning. We also spent ½ of a day on alumnae issues and technology. As
always the best part of these events is the opportunity to talk with other Presidents and our Fraternity
leaders to get new ideas and get energized about our Fraternity.
And believe me when I say you all make my job so easy! There are obviously many fantastic chapters but
there are also many more that are just making it in most or all of the categories mentioned. I get asked all
the time how we do it and what is the key to our success and honestly I don’t have one pat answer. You
have to have great leadership, passionate members and a common purpose and we have all of that for
sure. We are successful as a group because we are constantly evolving and recognizing that what our
members need and want changes all the time.
Last year is now in our rear view mirror and we are focused on the future and the upcoming season. It’s a
convention year so we will be working on our applications for awards while also striving for the 5 Star
Award again in 2014. I look forward to going to Phoenix and representing all of you and hopefully winning
another award (or two)! You all know how much I love talking about them!
It’s time to take a look at our calendar and read the articles in this newsletter to find out what’s in store for
the upcoming season. Join us as often as you can and know that you will be welcomed with open arms.
Let us know what we can do to make this chapter even better. If you haven’t been involved in awhile or
never, do not let that stop you. We are bound together as Delta Gammas and we signed up for lifetime
membership. So dust off that anchor and come on back, you’ll be glad you did!
ITB,
Lisa

Hat’s Off To Greater Naples – Founder’s Day 2013
Founders
Day 2013, Hats Off to the Greater

Meet Chelsea Jasper
Scholarship Recipient
By Meredith Doupe
I had the pleasure of interviewing Chelsea Jasper from Furman University
in Greenville, South Carolina, the Meredith Nassif Doupe Honorary
Scholarship recipient. Chelsea is a delightful young woman with stellar
academics who is very active not only in Delta Gamma but many other
campus activities. Chelsea is from Fort Mill, South Carolina outside
Charlotte and has two younger siblings. She is a Chemistry major in her
senior year who is applying to dental school following in the footsteps of
her mother. Chelsea is doing research this summer in the Chemistry
Department at Furman, which she does during the school year also. She
has held many positions in Delta Gamma starting as P.R. Director. Last
year, she was V.P. Membership and in charge of recruitment…a huge job
as we all know and served on Honor Board…another challenging position
of which I know firsthand. For her senior year, Chelsea was slated to be
V.P. Foundation for the upcoming year but will now be the Head
Panhellenic Recruitment Counselor. She will be in charge of 22
recruitment counselors leading them through helping incoming freshman
with recruitment. Interestingly, recruitment is held in the spring at Furman
University, so Chelsea will have to disassociate from her DG Chapter for
the entire Fall and part of the Spring semester. Luckily, several of her good
friends are also recruitments counselors with her. Chelsea’s activities don’t
stop there. She is the President of Operation Smile on her campus.
Operation Smile is a wonderful organization that provides free surgeries to
repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around
the globe. In addition, she is involved in the American Chemical Society. I
so enjoyed talking with Chelsea. As you can see, she is an outstanding
example of a Delta Gamma collegian, and it makes me very proud that the
Greater Naples Delta Gamma Alumnae Chapter can continue to support
exceptional young women like Chelsea.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA & GREATER NAPLES
As most of you know we have never been affiliated with a collegiate chapter because there is no local Delta
Gamma Chapter. Well, that’s about to change! Karin Herrmann reached out to our VP Alumnae at EO and
together they identified a chapter that could use alumnae support from afar – University of Florida. Karin has
been in communication with their chapter advisor and developed a list of possible areas where we could help
such as:
1) Advising from a distance
2) Support for planning their Founder's Day event
3) Support for planning in and participating in Foundation events such as Anchor Splash or Dance Marathon
4) Attendance/support at initiation
5) Implementation of an Aunt Hannah Program where the Fall new member class is assigned to an alumna
who acts as an additional mentor the new member. This can be done via letters, email or a once a semester
mixer.
Obviously some of these require a bigger commitment than others so at our next board meeting in August, we
will discuss where we think we can add the most value to their chapter. If you have any thoughts on this
opportunity or would like to be involved in the implementation, please contact one of the board members. Stay
tuned for more information on how you can participate in this new endeavor with the University of Florida.

Introducing Andrea Pandazi by Carole Feagler
Hello Sisters!
I would like to introduce one of the newest
members of our Greater Naples Delta
Gamma Alumnae Group! Her name is
Andrea Pandazi, and you will be seeing
more of her this year at meetings and
hearing from her in her new role as VP
Communications. She has had a fascinating
life and I want to share some of it with you.
Andrea pledged DG at Lawrence University
in Appleton, Wisconsin. She is an attorney
with an MBA as well. Her resume is very
interesting to say the least! She has worked
for the EPA in California, Bank of America
and Security Pacific's merger, Cargill in
Minneapolis where she traveled fifty weeks a
year internationally, living in Singapore,
London and back in California.
After becoming involved with the Women's
Shelter in Naples, she started a business called
S.A.F.E. of Florida (service alliance for elders of
Florida). She has also started it in Wisconsin,
and its goal is to provide assistance to elders in
the form of advocacy and services.
Finally tired of the hectic pace, she quit to
start a wholesale Greek cookie business -Yaya's Cookies was the brand name. Upon
sale of the business in 2011, she had
customers in 47 states!
Andrea's parents are 89 and 90, respectively,
and in mostly good health. Her father was
working until just last year!! She and her sister
are very devoted to their care. Andrea is
blessed with many little people in her life through
cousins and friends. She is a godmother to four
girls!
CANCER PREVENTION STUDY 3
Our chapter members, our loved ones and our friends
have all been impacted by cancer and we have all had
that helpless feeling of not being able to help. Well,
this October you can make a difference! Our
community will have the unique opportunity to
participate first hand in a landmark new cancer
research study, Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3)
being sponsored by the American Cancer Society.
This is an opportunity for those of us between the
ages of 30-65 who have never been diagnosed with
cancer to actively get involved and to help prevent
cancer for this and future generations. Enrollment will
be taking place at NCH, Downtown Naples Hospital
nd
rd
and North Naples Hospital October 2
and 3 .
Please tell your friends, families and co-workers about
this study and encourage them to participate. For
more information and to make your appointment
please visit www.cancer.org/cps3florida.
She has many hobbies and sports that she
enjoys--photography, reading, sports, traveling,
gardening, and hard work! I asked her what her
favorite food is, and she confessed that she likes
absolutely everything except brussels sprouts
and caramel! In response to the favorite
fantasy, dream or goal question, Andrea said,
"someday I'd love to start a foundation." That
sounds totally in character, doesn't it?
We are so fortunate to have Andrea in our
chapter, so please welcome her when you
attend a meeting!

A Volunteer’s Perspective By Judy Falkinburg
In early spring of 2012, I received an e-mail
from the Naples Delta Gamma alumnae group
announcing the opening of the newly renovated
Lions Eye Clinic in Bonita Springs. There was
to be an opening ceremony and a tour of the
facility. All interested persons were invited to
attend.
occasions mentioned the difficulty they had obtaining
ophthalmologic care for their indigent patients and
since I was currently looking for a volunteer position
this invitation seemed to be meant for me. I attended
the event, began my training a few weeks later, and now
my time at the Clinic has become a large and
meaningful part of my life.
Service to others was deeply instilled in me as
a Delta Gamma pledge, and consequently
volunteering has always been a large part of my
life.
The clinic is a lovely facility, very light, bright, nicely
decorated, well equipped and staffed with very
competent people. DG volunteers work, hand in hand
with other volunteers from the Lions Club, as well as,
the volunteer Doctors. We all share, interact and
become friends.
My husband, an active volunteer at the
Neighborhood Health Clinic had on numerous
I have found this volunteer work to be a win win
situation for all involved.
The patients receive
competent health care that they could not otherwise
afford and the volunteers receive the satisfaction of
participating in something very important that helps our
patients lead more productive lives.
Our patients come from all walks of life and most face
unbelievable challenges – health, financial and or
cultural. Over the years I have found there is something
for me to learn from every interaction I have with other
people and I treasure the opportunity to learn from the
patients the Clinic serves. If you have time to give,
please consider joining us at the Clinic. I guarantee you
will not only make new friends but you will leave with a
feeling of having done something meaningful for the
lives of others.
Breast Cancer
Support Group
In March 2011 we started the Greater Naples Delta Gamma Breast Cancer Survivor and Support
Special Interest Group. Our get togethers allow us to be able to share our stories of hope and survival.
We talk about new treatments, testing and living with cancer. We support each other and welcome
anyone who has been touched by breast cancer and would like to discuss breast cancer issues. Our
group meets a few times a year, and information will be sent by e-mail. The Greater Naples Delta
Gamma Alumnae Group will participate in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer Walk on Saturday, October 12th and in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday,
March 8th. Everyone is welcome to join our team including spouses, children, grandchildren, friends,
etc. If you would like more information please contact Karin Herrmann at [email protected] or (239)

Why Membership Is Special by Karen Smith
Dear Sisters,
Welcome ONE and ALL…to an exciting alumnae year which will capture the interest and
enthusiasm, but mostly the caring spirit, which has embraced our sisterhood since the moment we
accepted that beautiful invitation to pledge Delta Gamma!
Many of us made that journey to initiation quite a number of years ago, but continue to…or perhaps
reunite with…our sisterhood. On the other hand, we are meeting and attracting many recent
college graduates who add so many exciting ideas and warm support and technical expertise to our
entire membership. I was so appreciative to receive my 50 year pin last spring, just months before
my darling Mother passed away and I buried her with her original initiation pin AND with her 75th
anniversary pin from Kappa Kappa Gamma. She was so delighted for me when I pledged DG, as
did my younger sister, and when we were both elected house president our senior year.
Our Greater Naples Membership reached another record number of 100 this past year…and we are
so grateful for those who are able to be frequent attendees and also those who support our chapter’s
goals and involvement without regular participation. All assist in the fine and fun effort that Lisa
describes in her President’s Report. (By the way, we are the most fortunate and grateful alumnae
chapter in the nation to have Lisa lead our chapter for a second term after she accepted a major
position with the American Cancer Society last winter.)
Our membership application is on the last page of this newsletter. I hope you know that we love
meeting and greeting you as members of our alumnae chapter, but membership is not required to
attend any of our events. Involvement may be as much or as little as time and energy permit and
may vary from year to year or season to season. Some Sisters find their commitment is focused on
volunteer activities while others frequent the Saturday luncheon meetings or are only able to attend
the Girls Night Out gatherings. And some of us occasionally try to do it all!
I anticipate another beautiful year of Greater Naples Sisterhood with old friends and new ones as
well.
