Chapter Presidents,
I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed the holidays, and, perhaps, rested just a little.
Wow, time goes by so quickly! As we approach the last months of your chapter presidency, I do hope you are planning to attend the Xi State Convention June 7-9 so we can recognize your service to DKG. The biennium paperwork and information needs to be collected and disseminated. Note the dates listed below – especially the deadline for the chapter reports. These reports are vital to determining how we are doing not only on the chapter level, but also on the state and international levels. Let me know if you need any assistance with them.
Have you already identified your new chapter officers? If so, please share with them the training information and registration form. Also, be certain to ask some Young DKG members in your chapter to attend the “Chat Session” for them at the same time as the training.
Thank you for all you do to make our Society such a strong support system – so desperately needed – for women educators. You do make a difference.
Believing in DKG,
Kathie
