Dear Members,
Our Founders' Day luncheon is just around the corner and the deadline for reserving your seat is May 9th. Have you mailed your payment and reservation form to Rhonda!?! I've attached an extra form in case you misplaced the one that I send a little while ago. Don't forget that you have the opportunity to tour the museum for a discounted rate following the luncheon.
If you're interested in taking a self guided tour be sure to add $5.00 to your reservation payment to cover admission. We've been told that the full price of $9.00 will be required if your reservation is not made early. Remember that this year's event will be a covered dish luncheon. Please remember to bring your favorite lunch dish, along with a serving piece.
Alpha Kappa members revealed their artistic talents during our March meeting. Each member created a scrapbook page for our chapter's memory book. Each page was unique and special. I never realized how many talented folks we have in our chapter!
During the meeting we also held a drawing for our first year teacher mentorship basket. Kristina Black from Ft. Braden was our lucky winner. Dawn James and LaTressa Oder presented Kristina with the basket of wonderful teacher tools!
A number of additional items were covered at our meeting. I've attached the minutes to this message so that you have the opportunity to review them. One pressing piece of information concerns our upcoming Founders' Day Luncheon and the book drive that Whole Child Leon is promoting. Please consider bringing at least one new, or slightly used book, to our luncheon for a child between the ages of 0 -13 years. Connie Lewis volunteered to deliver the books to the project.
One last "heads up"….Mark your calendar for our summer luncheon. We will meet at Old Town Café on July 13th. This luncheon provides the opportunity to gather as friends and chat about our summer life. It is also a great time to talk about prospective members for our chapter. This is the best time of the year to discuss DKG with a prospective member who you feel would represent the society's values.
I look forward to seeing everyone on May 16th!
Smiles,
Janice
