Congratulations Erin Marshal-Cunningham for your dedication to women's sports and to your students. 

At our first meeting of the biennium, we learned about Andrea's President's Project, Habitat for Humanity. A project near and dear to her heart, she invited two wonderful recipients of a Habitat House in 1999. Laura and Brittany Burnett have been living in their lovely home for 25 years and have never forgotten the hard work and amazing opportunity they were given through this empowering program.

A great deal of business was conducted. The Finance, Membership, and Communications Committees reported their work over the summer, and Jane Crosby (right) shared some heart warming correspondences from our sisters who cannot make it to meetings but are with us in spirit. Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to prepare for the coming year. 

Communications Chair Renee Williams created a newsletter called "Sisters Sharing" that highlights some of the things we have been doing. In the first issue, we got to check out a great list of books to read and what sorts of PD our active sisters are part of. Look for more opportunities to share and stay connected. 

New Member Tea

The Membership Committee hosted a New Member Orientation today. New members had an opportunity to learn about the ways that joining Delta Kappa Gamma brings membership to the national, state, and local chapters. The types of membership, service projects, and benefits of membership were shared.  Most importantly, this relaxed atmosphere allowed for a variety of questions to be asked.  Alpha Tau is looking forward to adding these talented educators to our membership!
