The next few months are busy

times for Psi State. Right after

our January meeting is an

opportunity for you to attend

State Executive Board in Macon.

The last time Executive Board

met, Tau was represented with

five members. Maybe we can

have a repeat performance--or

better! Also, note that Psi State

Convention is coming in April.

This bi-annual event is also held

in Macon. Lastly, DKG members

from all over the Southeast will

convene for the Regional

Conference. Start locally--see

you in Blackshear--and then

travel with us! Lots of fun!

The fall in south Georgia is quite lovely. Having grown up in south Florida, the changes throughout the year were not

so evident. In fact, I believe there were four official seasons: 1) hot, 2) hotter, 3) still hot, and 4) “Why exactly do I live down here?” Nevertheless, I was

grateful for the warmth--of the place and of the people.

Here in our area of Georgia, warmth

abounds, even as the temperature dips. You, too, are grateful for many things and people in your lives. Members

attending the November meeting took a moment to express thanks.

•I am thankful for good friends, good health, and great DKG leadership.

•I am thankful for having the opportunity that we can all come together as professionals outside the

educational setting.

•I am thankful for my family, church, and friends.

•I am thankful for family, friends, P.E.S.,

freedom...

•I am thankful for the women in DKG who have impacted my life.

•I am thankful for all present/past members of our military for their efforts and sacrifices to maintain our

nations’ freedom!

Beyond your gratitude, as women of DKG, you yourselves are full of greatness. Your dedication and diligence

add so much to our profession and to our organization. You truly are grateful...and great-full!

Delta Kappa Gamma members are grateful and great-full.

“WHOO” IN DKG HAS

POSITIVELY IMPACTED YOU

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR GRATITUDE WITH YOUR SISTERS...AND ABOUT YOUR SISTERS!

 It’s official!  Delta Kappa Gamma, Psi State Day at the Capitol is Tuesday, February 10, 2015!

Representative Nikki Randall of Macon and Representative Amy Carter of Valdosta  have agreed to sponsor  Delta Kappa Gamma Day at the Capitol.  We are expecting support from Representative Keisha Waites of Atlanta and have reached out to Senator David Lucas and Senator John Kennedy. 

This is a busy time for the legislature, of course, as Governor Deal has been sworn in and the Legislative Season 2015 is off and running!
