For example, I love the anticipation of a gift. Beautifully boxed and wrapped. I shake it and turn it and examine it in hopes of identifying what is inside. Anticipation can be sheer joy.
But until the box is opened and the hidden contents are taken Outside Of the Box, the gift cannot truly be enjoyed.
So, open your box. Expand your horizons. Find ways to think outside of the box in your life and in your DKG chapter. Here is one idea: Arizona State Organization is hosting its Fall Conference at a tech high school where they will enjoy a delightful luncheon and breakfast prepared by the culinary students. What a wonderful way to connect DKG with the community and school.
I just heard from a young educator in California who wants to connect with the chapter who mentored and supported her as a student teacher. While she was not eligible for membership at that time, their relationship to her is paying off because she is now employed and ready to connect with them again - this time as a member. Thanks to the great network of DKG members in California, I am confident she will be a member soon!
More to come...don't climb back in that box yet!
