Treasured Times


Presented to me at the Kappa State Workshop in Arkansas
What a month August was for me! Birthday, wedding anniversary, one-year anniversary here at DKG Headquarters - this month has been quite the time for celebration. How fortunate I am to enjoy such treasured times! With an awesome international convention behind me, I traveled to Arkansas to enjoy a weekend with the Kappa State members attending the 2012 State Workshop. The workshop included an amazing selection of breakout sessions, general sessions involving Society business and a delicious luncheon where we celebrated the accomplishments and goals of the incredible women who are Arkansas DKG. I returned with lovely memories, beautiful souvenirs and a framed certificate charging me with my new responsibilities as an Arkansas Traveler!

 

As a member of this great Society, we are so fortunate to enjoy friendships with other members from around the world! With opportunities to gather at conventions, conferences and even meetings, we can also enjoy a personal visit from time to time in addition to all the electronic communications across the distance. What a joy it is to see each other and reconnect each year! DKG Administrative Board members and international committee chairs will have treasured time to connect and plan when we all meet together in Spokane next week for the biennial planning meeting. I look forward to the greetings, hugs and excitement - but I also look forward to the journey as these progressive women guide the Society into yet another biennium filled with great accomplishments. So, make your plans to get involved:  I think you will be glad you did!
