In June we were extremely busy preparing for the DKG Regional Conferences. Our first Regional Conference was held in Denver, Colorado from July 29 to July 2, 2011. One hightlight was having the opportunity to meet and listen to keynote speaker, Carlotta Walls LaNier. Carlotta entered Little Rock Central High School with eight other black students on September 25, 1957 and the journey for equal access to education began. Carlotta has received the Congressional Gold Medal, two honorary doctorates and has been inducted into the Colorado Women/s Hall of fame. She shared her story of courage, strength and passion. It was wonderful!
