Arkansas Alpha Delta Kappa
May 2019
Hello sisters,
MAY is here and school is almost out for another year. I know that many of you are looking forward to summer and time with your family. Our regular meetings with Alpha Delta, will also go on a summer retreat. The minutes I’ve read this year tell me your meetings have been really fantastic! What a great year this has been! But, there is still time to join your Alpha Delta Kappa sisters this summer July 17th -20th at the International Convention in Minneapolis, MN. Cindy White, our past state president is running for South Central Region International Vice President that will be voted on at the Convention. I hope that you all saw the article about Cindy in the Kappan. It would be great if you could attend and support her.

Brenda D. Keisler, AR Altruistic Chair
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
