President's Message...
Greetings from Ann:
 
    We are living in a Winter Wonderland this year.  Our blanket of snow is quite impressive.  It is giving me a chance to develop my skills operating my snow blower.  On those days, my fragrance is “essence of snow blower exhaust.”  I am longing for the fragrance of spring flowers and the sound of birdsongs.  But, I find solace in my sunny classroom, working with my students as they develop their clothing design skills, and in knowing that in a little over two months the green grass of Spring will be here.   
     I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, Feb. 20 at our meeting at Zandbroz Variety, 420 Broadway, Fargo.  Our business meeting will start at 4 p.m. and we will dine at 5 p.m.  Afterwards, we will go to the Fargo Theater at 314 Broadway, to attend the program “A Celebration of Women and Their Music”.  The cost of the dinner is $10 and RSVPs to either Ann.Braaten@ndsu.edu or Jo.Cavins@ndsu.edu.  Tickets for the program are $15 and are available at the door, at the Fargo Theater Box Office or on-line through Fargo-stuff.com.    
     Building our membership is an important goal this year.  Invite perspective members to this meeting and others.  Our initiation of new members will occur at our May 1 meeting when our State President Karen Walz will be present.  Recommendation for membership forms will be available at the meeting and can be accessed at http://www.deltakappagamma.net in the Forms/Applications section under General Society Forms.
