The President’s Corner
“The State of Our Chapter. . .”
Dear
Sisters,
Happy New Year
from your President!
I am certainly learning a lot in this new
leadership role! We
have a great group of
executive
board
members (both officers and committee
chairs) who wish to
keep our society vibrant and growing. I want to personally thank
each of them for their service to our Delta Chapter. I ask you to seriously consider prospective
members and encourage them to join us. Why?
Our chapter supports beginning teachers, literacy
in education and Schools for Africa. It provides
a valuable network of diverse professional colleagues, celebrates our achievements and is
striving to include more "fun" social activities
(a request from you!). We have a chapter website in the making and we are planning a
Zumba fun time (easy version!) for the spring.
We are all very busy, but I know that I am
never disappointed when I leave a DKG meeting. Just being together as a professional
group can be invigorating. I wish you well and
I hope to see you all at Cypress Glen on February 12. Don't forget to send your money
($13) to Tara Parker prior to the meeting.
~Joy
