Rachel's Christmas Message
Can you believe six months have passed since the International Convention? Time is flying by and racing towards a new year. As you spend time with family and friends this holiday season, remember the gifts that you can give Alpha Delta Kappa----your time, attention and talents. Get those dues in by the end of the month using personal contacts to see if there is a situation where a sister needs a little help. Spread a little help around by you good will towards men.....as you offer items, gifts and help to agencies in your community....and as you prepare big meals and beautiful decorations for your loved ones. My hope for you is Peace, Prosperity and Passion for all the things you love. Know that you are treasures to me regardless of the holiday you are celebrating.
Faithfully,
Rachel Shankles
