Do You have Reservations?

Anticipation.  It is one of my favorite feelings.  Watching each scoop of ice cream make its way to the top of the cone that will soon be in my hands.  Waiting for that loaf of bread to come out of the oven.  Sitting on the edge of my seat as the movie begins. Looking forward to that next chapter meeting. And I am already making plans to attend my state organization convention - what about you?

So, it's almost time:  regional conferences are right around the corner!  Look for information in the DKG News and on the website soon.  Make your plans to attend the conference in your region. Or travel to a new region where you can make new friends and enjoy a new experience!

Remember, you will need your Member ID to register online, so find your membership card, ask your chapter treasurer or call us here at Society Headquarters.  You should use your member ID number as your Username.  The default password will be shared by your chapter or state organization president who received it through her mailed copy of the President's Page or President to President. Or call or email Headquarters.

So, Get Ready, Get Set, and Go!

Please Tell Me About It!

Communication is key to marketing any new or great idea.  We all agree that membership in DKG changes lives, develops women as professionals, and promotes richer learning at all levels.  So, spread the word! Find a way to communicate that works best for your chapter and state organization.

California State Organization did.  I recently subscribed to the email distribution list the state organization has developed.  They are sending to all the subscribers on the list a weekly email that is informative, positive and inspiring.   The one I received this week recounted the story of a young educator who received a Cornetet Grant from the DKG Educational Foundation and was so inspired by the experience that she has since joined DKG! Not only will this amazing story inspire members to share the benefits of membership with other women educators, it will also perhaps remind us all about the membership benefits we forget to enjoy ourselves!

Think about the ways that you can best communicate to your community, state organization, members and potential members about DKG.  Explore the options.  Then, Spread the Word!
