Florida Alpha Delta Kappa Vol 1 November 2022
President's Message
Dear Sisters,
The month of November is National Gratitude Month. Gratitude is one of the simplest ways to change one's view of life. It helps us to value the positive, rather than focusing on the negative things that happen in life. It helps us appreciate the little things in life that we often take for granted. Thinking about Alpha Delta Kappa, there are many reasons for me to thankful, such as the opportunities for grants and scholarships, for traveling to places I may not otherwise visit, for building leadership skills, and for meeting sisters and making new friends. I am grateful for each of these opportunities, especially for each one of you.
