At this time of Thanksgiving, it is important to take some time to express gratitude for the people that have touched our lives in so many ways. Our family and friends have helped us develop into the person we are today.  As educators, we are thankful for our students, our mentors and our supportive parents. As DKG members we are thankful for the friendships that we have formed that reach across the borders and the many benefits we reap as a member of the Society.  As an employee of Delta Kappa Gamma, I am also grateful to my colleagues who are so dedicated to our members and the work of the Society. So on this special holiday, I want to to extend a heartfelt thank you to each of you. You have touched my heart in a special way!

Have you ever wanted to travel to Ireland, Scotland and England?  Well, don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity that is now available to DKG members, their friends and family. Some have wanted to take a trip like this, but felt nervous about taking it alone.  This exciting adventure gives you an opportunity to develop new friendships with other DKG members throughout the Society. The first inaugural trip is scheduled July 17 to July 26 or 2016. Go to http://dkg.grouptoursite.com/ for more information.

Congratulations to our newest chapter in Texas!  Four transfer members, two reinstated members and twenty-seven new initiates formed Nu Alpha.  This chapter has been sponsored by Alpha Chapter in Texas.  Many gathered in the Leander/Cedar Park area to celebrate the installation of the chapter.  How exciting to see growth happening!  It is our responsibility as members of DKG to honor key women educators with the gift of membership.  Have you recently honored an educator in your community?
