Dear Sisters,
As
February comes to a close we can “see” spring. It may be several weeks
before the ground starts to thaw, but thaw it will, and before you know
it we'll be out digging in the dirt. I am so looking forward to doing
that! It may take me longer to accomplish all that I want to do, but
we'll get 'er done!
Plans
for our state convention are well underway. Thanks to the chapters that
have volunteered to take over the necessary duties/responsibilities.
The
chapter presidents should be receiving the state convention
registration form shortly. This should be filled out and sent in no
later than March 15. Hopefully, we will have a great turnout for this
convention. Due to COVID we have not had an in-person convention or
conference for the past two years. Let's make this one one to remember
and to renew old friendships and make new ones.
An
altruistic suggestion: Michigan is collecting mittens for an altruistic
project, and will collect them at the North Central Conference in
Frankenmuth in July. If you or your chapter would like to do this, we
could deliver the mittens in July either as a group or individually,
whatever and however you wish.
If you haven't checked out our state website yet it's fairly easy to access.
1) Google Alpha Delta Kappa International website
2) Sign in
3) Under Quick Links click on ΑΔΚ websites
4) On right side, click on S/P/N website
5) North Central, scroll down to WI. Click
6) And there you be!!!
Thanks to Joanne Loy for all her hard work setting up the website and updating it.
Information
has been sent out for the NC July conference in Frankenmuth, MI. I
hope to see many of you there! It looks like it will be a wonderful,
learning, and fun time.
