Alpha Delta Kappa Vol. 1 Issue 4 Oct. 15, 2021
Rachel's Message
It is a wonderful time of year with crisp fall mornings and milder afternoons. I hope you are enjoying your Founder's Month activities with sisters from around your state or nation. I know some are still zooming meetings and some are in person now. Do something for teachers this month. A bowl of apples in the teacher's lounge with a sign celebrating Alpha Delta Kappa and listing the members at that school. "Take one--You are the Best!" Get a mayor's proclamation. Plant a tree. Ask the principal to announce it. Celebrate all month the love that we share in our organization. And pass it on. Share the Love. That is the International theme this biennium and how fitting this month. Remembering Agnes, Marie, Hattie, and Marion, our four founders who breathed life and goals into this sisterhood. We still follow those goals and just add to them as we move forward. We expand and modernize our views as they did, sometimes grudgingly, just like us. But they knew it was the path to keep a viable organization. And that is why you see so many changes lately. We're movers and shakers. We are catching up with what other modern, viable organizations offer their members-----online submission of forms and reports, new members can pay on the spot, now all members can pay online, and we will stop duplicating offices when the IC and IEB merge next biennium. We are just moving forward to keep up. Offering new ways for the newest members to take care of business. You can still do things the old way......but don't you want to keep moving forward?
Contact me if you have concerns.
Have a great Alpha Delta Kappa Month,
Rachel Shankles
