President Message
As we see the Summer come to an end for our Alpha Delta Kappa teachers, we close the book on vacations, sleeping late, and eating whenever we want! Teachers are blessed with this break to renew, refresh, and reset their lives.
My wish for all of you, whether working or retired, is to enjoy the smell of a box of new crayons, buy a new "first day of school" outfit, and watch the buses full of children as they travel to and from school.
I look forward to traveling to your District and seeing many of you at Leadership Seminar this fall. Make connections with those in your school and community and invite them to learn about Alpha Delta Kappa.
As we navigate our individual paths, let us remember that the threads we weave with others are the ones that give our tapestry its depth, its color, and its meaning.

Our state altruistic project for this biennium is Pace Center for Girls. Pace is a non-profit organization that provides academic classes, counseling, and social services to middle and high school girls. The mission of Pace is to provide girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training, and advocacy. There are 23 Pace Centers in Florida. Visit pacecenter.org for additional information.
If your chapter does not have a designated President-Elect or Vice President, please send me the name and email address of a point of contact for your chapter that I may use for any information I need to send. Otherwise, I will send any correspondence to your Chapter President. You can email me at denisefenicle@aol.com. Thank you.
Membership Moment, Paula Byrd, VPM
I hope all Chapter Membership Chairmen have registered for the ZOOM training. You can choose from Aug. 10 or Aug. 17, both at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The same information will be presented at each session; there isn’t any need to do both. A lot of information was shared in the July “Weavings” Membership Newsletter. If you aren’t receiving this newsletter, please email me your correct email address. If your chapter doesn’t have a Membership Chairman, I’ll send the newsletter to the President.
Important things to do:
Update your chapter roster in the International Directory. Make sure that all member email
addresses are correct. Here is the pathway to instructions :
