PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We had an enjoyable meeting on February 8 at Robert E. Lee Elementary School. Gail Holland and Joanna Miller served us a delicious assortment of cookies and goodies. Dr. Linda Walden blessed us with a beautiful devotion. We all enjoyed "Keeping Fir with Tai Chi" as Belinda Riddle led us with a few exercises we can try at home.

Our next meeting will be Monday, March 8, at Hickerson Elementary. I hope everyone will be able to attend. Vicki Young will give our devotion and Rebecca Langford and Linda Jernigan will be our hostesses.

Our new slate of officers will be presented. Many thanks to everyone for your support and words of encouragement during my service as president.

Don't forget the Xi State convention which will be held at Sewanee June 10, 11, 12. The Delta Kappa Gamma International convention will be held in Spokane, Washington Junly 20-24, 2010.

COMMITTEE CORNER

Yearbook Committee . Thanks to Joan Pockrus for a wonderful new yearbook. Please let her know if you have not received you 2009-2010 copy through the mail.

Website Newsletters . The newsletter will be available from the Alpha Pi website this year. Members will receive an email letting them know when each newsletter is available for viewing. This change is part of an international emphasis on paperless communication in Delta Kappa Gamma.

Delta Kappa Gamma International The 2010 International Convention will be July 20-24 in Spokane, Washington.

Go for the Gold . Martha Scarbrough has volunteered to chair an ad hock committee for striving to become a gold chapter this year as Delta Kappa Gamma celebrates its 75th anniversary. Here are some ideas to begin thinking about:

  1. Donate some art or craft object to be used in our silent auction at Southeast Regional.
  2. Submit an article for the Book of Memories.
  3. Plan and prepare a display of our chapter history and memorabilia for the 2010 Arts and Crafts display.
  4. Volunteer to perform in a special anniversary program to be presented on Thursday evening at the 2010 Xi State Convention.
  5. Request that our chapter donate $1 per member x 3 to be used to help fund the celebration.

XI STATE NOTES

The Xi State convention will be held at the University of the South, Sewanee, June 10-12. Registration forms are included in the February 2010 Xi State News.
