Kappa Alpha Theta alum ( at Vanderbilt University) Amy Grant entertained at lunch at the Theta Flaming Festival at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. She sang some new songs and old favorites to the 400- plus crowd.

She was gracious in her remarks in acknowledging the 50-year-Thetas and also in helping promote the purchase of the centerpieces which also included an Amy Grant Christmas compact disc. She talked about her family members including her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were in the audience.

It was the 53^rd annual Flaming Festival and there were 35 festively -decorated and themed tables by Theta alumnae and area merchants. Themes ranged from “Birthday Party for our Granddaughters” by Cathy Cross, Ann Fleming and Janie Cook to “Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom Luncheon” by Barb Munneke and Cherry Kay Clifford.

Home-baked cookies were served at a table with former past alumni presidents pouring the tea and coffee. (This lovely tea table is traditional ). The Thetas also had a major bake sale with such items as cakes, cookies and fudge sauce and barbecue sauce for sale.

Co-chairmen of the 2009 Flaming Festival were Susie Kemp and Johnna Schick. President of the local Theta alumnae chapter is Kim Joseph.

Proceeds go to Food 4 Kids and CASA of Oklahoma County.
