Vol 17 No 5. February 1997

I would like to invite everyone to meet our three prospective members this month. They are Carol Anderson, Helen Mate and Judith Fisher. After our chapter orientation, Marie will present a short travel show for us. There are two forms attached to the newsletter. One is for registering for the State Convention in Grand Rapids (you will find this in your winter Wolverine as well). The other is for a Leadership Conference (anyone can attend this conference). Also included in the bulletin are the guidelines for awarding a Friend of Education certificate. We have not given a certificate for a few years. So read over the guidelines and bring any names you might have to the February meeting. I hope you are all able to attend. Alice

Photos from the January meeting

Grace Morgan is planning on a short trip to Florida. She will be visiting Abby Roche. Have fun in the sun, Grace.

Daphne Smart, Jackie's mother-in-law from Nottingham, England, came to January's meeting. Daphne is a retired needlework teacher and enjoyed our meeting. She also picked up a lace table cloth from the Nottingham Lace Centre for the World Fellowship Auction from our chapter. She told the group that Nottingham is the lace making center for all of England.

Cindy Dietz shook Eileen DeHart's hand during Ms. DeHart's door-to-door campaigning before last fall's election.

Alice Duke's son-in-law was in a serious car accident in late January. He is recuperating at home now, but will not be able to work for at least six months. This was supposed to be a better year for Alice. Our prayers are with you.

There are several interesting workshops being offered at the State Convention in Grand Rapids. Be sure to register now for the convention.

If you have questions or concerns about Society publications, items for the Delta Kappa Gamma NEWS, or questions about submitting articles, art or poetry to the Bulletin soceditr@onr.com is the e-mail address. Jane Posten, Communications Administrator, will answer your questions.

The address for questions about general Society concerns, such as scholarships, membership, travel or programs and projects is societyd@onr.com. Those questions will be answered by Dr. Theresa Fechek, Executive Coordinator or Dr. Isabel Wheeler, Program Services Administrator.

Deadline for articles for the March Bulletin is February 20. Send your copy to Jackie Smart. Please drop me a line!
