Dear Wisconsin A𝚫K Sisters,

Even if there is still snow on the ground in March, we know that spring is coming! We have so many exciting events to look forward to as sisters of A∆K! I hope to see many of you soon at our Wisconsin State Conference on April 28-29. Your Zeta sisters in Kenosha can’t wait to welcome you!

Another A∆K S/P/N president recently shared the following poem in her newsletter. The poem puts into words the relationship we have with our A∆K sisters~

Sisterhood

Sisterhood is many things.
It’s a warm smile on a cold and rainy day, a friendly hug,
a cheerful hello...
It’s all that a good and lasting friendship is, only better.
It’s treasured.
It’s sacred.
It’s knowing that there will always be someone there for you.
It’s dreams shared, and goals achieved.
It’s counting on others and being counted on.
It is real.

I am so grateful to be part of a wonderful organization filled with such amazing women as each of you! Thank you for everything you do for students, each other, and your community!

With A𝚫K Sisterhood, Theresa

2023 Barbara Beetow Memorial Grant

Congratulations to all of the recipients of the 2023 Barbara Beetow Memorial Grant! A complete list of recipients is attached to this newsletter. The state executive board approved each grant at the state board meeting on January 21. Let’s give a special thank you to sustaining members Beverly Lee and Elsie Goulding, co-trustees of the AΔK Barbara Beetow Grant Fund. They dedicate their time and expertise to make sure each chapter is able to present a Beetow Grant to a well deserving 501(c)(3) charitable organization in their community. Thank you for all you do, Bev and Elsie!

Wisconsin AΔK State Conference, April 28-29
Our Wisconsin A∆K State Conference is just around the corner! I have attached the registration form with this newsletter.

Dear Wisconsin A𝚫K Sisters,

Happy New Year! The New Year is always a time of reflection of the year that just ended, and anticipation for what the new year may bring. As teachers, January marks the halfway point in the school year. By January you know your students, and your school year has developed its rhythm. January is a natural time to set goals and plan how you will achieve your goals. After a busy fall and holiday season, now is a great time for all chapters to make sure they are on track to meet the goals they set for themselves in their Chapter Needs Assessment. Please let me know if I can assist your chapter with goals or in any other way.

With A𝚫K Sisterhood,  

Theresa
