Arkansas Alpha Delta Kappa
April 2019
Hello sisters,
April has begun and Spring has gotten the flowers and trees blooming. Happy Easter! Happy rejoicing, singing hallelujah, wearing of new clothes, wiggly and giggly children toting baskets and candies, hugging bunnies, eating pastel Peeps and searching for eggs.
I can’t believe that it has been almost a year since I was initiated as your state president. I am retiring at the end of this school year and hope to get a chance to visit all the chapters in the state beginning in August, so look for me at one of your meetings.
Wow! What an awesome tour many of our state sister had at St. Jude’s hospital on March 29th. We had 20 sisters from Arkansas and three husbands.
Reminders-
· A reminder that July 17th -20th of 2019 is the International Convention in Minneapolis, MN. There is still plenty of room availability at the Hilton Hotel starting on Monday, July 15th and over the main dates of the convention. It is rather expensive this year, but I encourage chapters to encourage members to attend, maybe your chapter could pay for registration, that would help with expenses. Cindy White, our past state president is running for South Central Region International Vice President that will be voted on at the Convention. It would be great if you could attend and support her.
· Collecting money for our State Altruistic project Ronald MacDonald House and the International Altruistic Project TeachToo.
Your Sister,

Arkansas Alpha Delta Kappa Chapter Presidents and Sisters,
Sisters, as you know, our Spring membership campaign is in full swing. Please try to get those who are prospective members initiated this month if possible, to be counted in the campaign.
Also, if your chapter is interested in receiving a list of former chapter members, please contact me and I will be happy to compile one for your chapter. Reinstatement is a wonderful way to build membership.
Your new members do not pay international, state or local dues until December. There is an initiation fee of $25 to process their membership with international and needs to be sent in with form H-103 prior to initiation. After initiation, you will need to submit H-133 which can be completed online. The new initiate has the option of purchasing a badge/pin at that time, but it can be purchased later, and some members choose not to purchase one at all. You can use one of the members' badges/pins in initiation if wanted.
If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to call, text or email me. I am here to help.
Love and hugs,
Cindy
