President’s Message
Change is Healthy and Beautiful.
I am so impressed with the work going on by our Florida DKG chapters and committees. The chapters are donating aid to community initiatives and awarding grants-in-aid to students preparing to enter teaching fields. Remember to adopt a new teacher and encourage her with cards and supplies for five years. The five-year anniversary for teachers is a critical time.
Beth Hess in Pasco County leads a high school program at River Ridge High School preparing students to become teachers. Hopefully, this program will be duplicated in other counties in Florida. Many of these stu-
dents come back to Pasco County to teach. Wonderful program!
In January, Dr. Vivian Posey, Chair of the State Legislative Committee, facilitated an all-day Legislative Zoom meeting with our state representatives from both the House and the Senate. Some of the representatives knew our four initiatives because Dr. Posey sent the information to their respective offices before they were interviewed. For those who did not have time to review our agenda ahead of time, she stressed to them the importance of these four issues. It was truly a fantastic time for us to interact with our representatives. In February, many of our members will attend Rally in Tally to reconnect with our representatives. Kudos to Dr. Posey and her committee.
I have been asked by International to encourage those of you planning to attend one of the three international conferences to sign up to volunteer. We need ticket takers, table hostesses, greeters, help at registration, and
many other opportunities. The volunteer form is available on the International website.
As we prepare for our 100th birthday, we need to take action and make changes in our organization. In the Collegiate Exchange, Volume 89-2, pages 9 -15, seven possible actions are suggested which will help us as
we enter a new age. Please read this article to understand changes which may be in our future.
Our State Convention is scheduled for April 28 – 30, 2023. Please make plans to attend. Our bank will only accept checks made out to Delta Kappa Gamma. No abbreviations will be honored.
Mary Kay Pieski is working with a group who will be
sending teachers to Poland this summer to help with
the children flooding into Poland from Ukraine. If you
would like to donate to this cause or volunteer to travel
with the group, please talk to Mary Kay.
I am very proud of our Florida members. Everything
you do is making a difference in the lives of students
and educators. Thank you. Thank you.
I hope to see you April 28 - 30, 2023, at the Lake Mary Marriott Hotel. Register early. We need YOU!
