President's Message

Welcome to the Upsilon State (Iowa) website!  You will find an array of information about the exciting educational events in our state.  During the 2009-2011 biennium, our theme is “The Magic of Teaching and Learning.”  The “spell” of magic includes the following:

M = Membership -- We've added 13 area coordinators.  Click here to find your area coordinator.
A=Anniversary -- We will be celebrating our 75th state anniversary in June 2011 in Burlington.
G=Gift of Reading -- Either start or expand a reading project to
encourage reading among students, teachers, and community members.  Donating books would be fine, but try to also find a way for members to
participate in reading.
I=Iowa -- We will support Carolyn Rants, our Iowan, with her international presidency.  Feel free to send Carolyn encouraging messages!
C=Communication -- We have added a wiki page for each committee chair.  Click here to check out the information provided.
   
   

There is magic in the air in Iowa!  Add to the magic through your own chapter and by participating in the  next state convention on June 11-13, 2010, at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in Waterloo.

I’m excited about this biennium.  Please email me with any successes, suggestions, or concerns.  I’ll look forward to hearing from you!
