Tinker Day Parties 2009

Alumnae chapters from across the country joined in on the Tinker Day tradition by hosting parties during October 2009! From hiking local mountains to celebrating with happy hours, dozens of chapters declared their own Tinker Days.

Each received a Tinker Day declaration from President Gray and box of goodies to help the Tinker Day spirit spread.

We encourage everyone to seek out a Tinker Day party in their area in the fall or contact the Alumnae Relations office for more information on starting one!
