How wonderful to be able to see the Wall of Roses come to life at the artist's studio!  This Planned Giving piece of artwork will be hung at DKG International Headquarters in February as a way to honor our members who make significant contributions to the Society. There will be room for 100 members to be recognized for giving levels of $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000.  Start thinking about leaving a gift that will advance the work of the Society.Watch for more details.

I flew back to Connecticut to see family and friends over the holidays. The photo was taken Christmas day at my mom's place. My brothers and sisters, their spouses and the 8 grandchildren all gathered to celebrate this wonderul time of the year. Mother Nature even brought us about 12 inches of snow that afternoon and evening.  It certainly was a winter wonderland.! We will cherish these family memories.

The University of Texas football games are always exciting to attend.  Although it has not been a good season for the Longhorns, it has been a fun time to get together with friends.  Pictured with me is Marilyn Gregory, the Texas State first vice-presdient and friend from my Golden Gift Leadership/ Management experience. Marilyn and her husband offered me wonderful advice when I transitioned from Connecticut to Texas.

DKG members from Alpha chapter met with an exciting program where teachers with less than 10 years experience presented a problem they were facing.  In round table discussions, advice was first given by teachers with 10 ten years or more experience.  It was then followed by advice from retired educators. At the end, a recorder from the group shared the situation and options with the whole membership. The teacher left the meeting with all kinds of options to help her deal with the situation.  This is another example of Delta Kappa Gamma members in action helping each other.
