Message from the President!
From Madame President:
Our December meeting will be December 1, 2016 at Priceville Elementary School Library Media Center from 4:30 - 6:00pm. This will be another busy meeting with plenty to do! We will have our "meet and greet" for our prospective members, which will entail orientation for each of them. Please make them feel welcomed as we invite them to join our wonderful group of women!
Mary Beth Henry will be distributing Mu Chapter Mini Grant applications. This is a wonderful opportunity for our DKG sisters to receive a grant to assist with classroom and student needs. Please apply for only one mini-grant.
We will be celebrating the birthday of Delta Kappa Gamma at our December meeting! What a great celebration to look forward to sharing!
The Membership Committee will be our hostess for the upcoming December meeting. All members are to bring appetizers. We usually have a large group of members at our December meeting and have several prospective members in attendance, as well. This is why we are asking all members to help with providing food in some way. :)
