Request and Instructions from our State Treasurer

 From Marlea Steiner to our Chapter Treasurers:

I hope you are collecting dues for 2025.  Please send your $15 per
member, state dues, to me as soon as you have them all collected.  They are due to me by the end of December, 2024.  I would appreciate them sooner, along with a list if you have them collected.  I usually
suggested by December 1, 2024 so you are done with it before you get
busy with the holiday season.

You will need to send your list and $40 per member to International by
December 31, 2024.  The address is on the back of the front cover of the Kappan.   It is 1615 W. 92nd Street, Kansas City, MO 64114-3210. 
Members can pay their international dues on line if they would like.  If
you have questions for International, their phone number is
800-247-2311.  They will usually respond within a couple of business days.

There is also an ITE (International Teacher Education) fee of $20 that
all chapters must pay to International.  If you have any questions,
please let me know.  My new email is msteiner11964@gmail.com.  My phone numbers are home 608-523-5331 and cell  608-293-5331.

Blessed Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Nu Chapter Has Been Busy!

Nu chapter delivered baby baskets to Mayo and Marshfield hospitals in Eau Claire. They were given to the first baby born at each hospital in October in celebration of ADK Month.

Nu sisters celebrated ADK Month by making cards to be shared with veterans on Veterans Day.

Diane Kornesczuk delivered Birthday Bags to Dove South nursing facility. These were created by Nu chapter sisters at our November meeting.

What wonderful projects!

Delta Fundraiser at Culver's

Here is a picture sent by Kris of four of our Delta sisters working the first shift at Culver's last night.  It was a blast!  Thank you to ALL the workers and to those members who came to dine and support us. It was another fun night and hopefully a lucrative one. Left to right are Carol Ross, Sue Talarczyk, Kris Bauer, and Mary Thompson.  This was a fundraising event for our Scholarship Fund.

State Board Meeting, October 2024

Our first Board Meeting of the year was this weekend, starting with Policies and Procedures yesterday afternoon, and continuing this morning.  We started with generous treats from Carol.  Here is Marilyn smiling at how delicious the goodies look.

There was a pretty display in honor of our Founders.

Marilyn outdid herself with these darling table favors!

The reading was her intriguing Reflection for the Day.

Jan did our Fraternity Education and it was so fun!  It was a quiz "What's on Your Cell Phone?"  It was similar to the old shower game of 'what's in your purse?' You can imagine the giggling and cross-talk while we figured our points, not to mention the tech learning.  Here's Theresa, our winner.

And a closeup of the Fraternity Education idea.

Here we are at our working lunch.

Several thank-you notes were read. They were from Angela Steinmetz, Nu Chapter, for the Excellence in Education award,

Ann Ainslee, our Regional President,

The Longest Day,

and the Southwest Wisconsin Community Action Program.

It was a very productive two days.
