A∆K Wisconsin March 2022 Newsletter

Dear Sisters,

It's hard to believe that March is almost over, and yet, with the exception of a few nice days, March weather has been nasty- too much cold, rain, snow, and wind!  Let's hope April will be much better in all ways!

  

The new International website is up and running. There is a tutorial to watch which may be helpful to you. Signing in is pretty much the same as before. Your user name is your ID # found on the back of your Kappan on your address label.  I did have to reset my password but that was not difficult to do.

 

New chapter officers should be elected by now and installed shortly.  Chapter presidents need to fill out form H-107. The form can be found on the International website.

  

The State Convention will be held April 22-23 at Wintergreen Resort in Wisconsin Dells.  Plans are well underway to make this a wonderful convention.  Thanks to all the chapters who have volunteered to take on responsibilities needed for a successful convention. There is still time to register, get in touch with your chapter president for details. Friday evening will be the Board meeting and also hospitality time, a great opportunity to meet friends and make new ones. Our sisters are the best!  If you can't make it Friday evening, please come to the convention on Saturday. The new officers will be installed and our speaker will be Judy Ganzert, a past International president. I hope to see you there!!

  

I wish you all a wonderful April, a meaningful Easter, and a terrific spring.  Just think, a month from now we'll have new chapter and state officers. And hopefully, I'll have some of my vegetable garden (onions, potatoes, cold weather plants) planted and the flower beds cleaned out and ready to enjoy.
