Chapter Projects Beta Chapter, Pennsylvania, is committed to a number of projects that benefit our immediate community, the education of future educators and the education of women around the world. We offer a $200 scholarship to a student at Kutztown University who is studying education. To increase money for chapter scholarships, a plant sale is held at each meeting, with members pre-ordering plants at the time they reserve their luncheon meal and picking them up at the meeting. We offer a grant-in-aid to a high school senior who plans to study education. In 2002 we raffled a hand-tatted doily framed under glass in a small wooden tea tray to raise money for The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International World Fellowships Fund, which offers $5000 fellowships to women graduate students from countries other than those with Delta Kappa Gamma organizations who are studying at universities in the United States or Canada. Throughout the year members collect items on the wish list of the Berks County Women in Crisis Center to distribute at Christmas time. Items such as toiletries, disposable diapers, stationery, books, magazines, small clothing items for children and babies, toys, etc. are welcomed there with open arms. Our budget includes an annual contribution to Alice Lloyd College in Pippin Passes, Kentucky. In addition to the budgeted amount, a collection basket is passed at the December meeting for individual contributions from members.
