organizing another wonderful auction with proceeds going to the Delta Kappa Gamma

World Fellowship Fund.

Each member brings items to put in the auction. If you have Christmas, gift, or special

items you would like to donate to the auction, please bring these items to the November

meeting. Also bring cash or check to purchase these always wonderful and unique items.

The monies collected are given to the World Fellowship Program. The World Fellowship

Program began in 1946 as a project to aid women in war-torn countries. Through the

years the program grew and to date more than 555 women from over 100 countries have

received fellowships to enable them to pursue advanced study in the United States and in

Canada.

Letter from LoisDear Zeta Xi members,

Wasn't that exciting to see the great coverage of our 50th BirthdayCelebration received in the Midland Reporter-Telegram last Monday?I'll bring copies to our next meeting for you to see in case you missedit. Three pictures were printed to go along with the story. Thanks toPatti Groce for helping me get the story and pictures in to the paperwhile I was out of town.

Our next meeting will be hosted by Elloui Moseley on Monday,November 7th, at the Meadow Park Club House at 4800 SpringMeadow. Those who signed up to be a hostess along with Elloui are

Susan Harmon, Virginia Conner, Sandy Hammontree and Celia Munoz.

Start looking around your homes for items to bring for the WorldFellowshipAuction which we will be having that same evening. The auction hasbeen verysuccessful these past few years, especially since some of the itemshave beenholiday related.

Also, we will be having a wonderful meeting presented by Tom Millerabout Family Promise of Midland and its work that helps homelessfamilies in our town. This would be a great meeting to inviteprospective members. To keep our chapter vital and of service to thecommunity we need to expand our membership and let others bepart of all the exciting things we do. Please let me know of guestsyou plan to invite so that the hostesses can prepare plenty ofrefreshments.

Thanks for all you do to help our chapter to continue to shine in Area14!! Ilook forward to seeing you again soon.
