| MU CHAPTER GUEST SPEAKER Tunisia Bullock, professional teacher and flutist, was the guest speaker at a recent Mu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International Society meeting. Although an accomplished musician, her speech was not on music, but rather on organ donation and transplantation awareness. Tunisia spent eight years of her life fighting kidney disease caused by systemic lupus. In addition, she was on kidney dialysis for over five years, before receiving a kidney. As a result of her struggle, and gift of life, Tunisia is planning a future in the medical field. Her ultimate goal is to become a nephrologist, so that she can help others, who suffer from kidney disease. After an informative speech, Tunisia entertained the group with a flute solo, and an encore. |

| Mu Chapter
Meeting - February 18, 2014 The highlight of this DKG, Mu Chapter meeting was the program. Mu Chapter was entertained by Ann Davis, and a couple of her best friends, Scooby and Grace. Ann is a French teacher at RMHS, and a MU Chapter member. Scooby and Grace are therapy dogs. They have earned their therapy certificates and are registered with Pet Partners. Therapy dogs are different from service dogs in that they provide comfort and affection to people in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and to people with learning disabilities. There are many benefits to the use of therapy dogs, as well as programs they have been trained to do. One of these programs is R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dog) teams. In this program, a child reads to a dog. Also participating were Cornelia Singletary, Family Services Program Manager at Down East Partnership, and her dog, Sophie. Another guest of Mu Chapter was Belinda Carter, a retired teacher, and past president of Nash-Rocky Mount Reading Council. Belinda assisted Ann, and treated the group with delicious homemade, ginger cookies in shapes related to the theme of dogs. |
