Summer/Fall Issue, Volume XI #II
Dear Sisters,
I hope you have had a refreshing summer and are
looking forward to the new DKG year as I am. We
have lots to do and lots of news to share!
We are trying out some new meeting times and I
hope that you can come for a dinner meeting at 5
PM at the usual Covenant Reformed Presbyterian
Church. We will order salad dinners from Luella’s
Barbeque as you arrive. You can check their menu
at luellabbq.com. It will be simplest if we just order
dinner salads (they are quite satisfying), and we can
share news as we eat.
We do have plenty of business as shown in the agen-
da, but it is important to remember the fellowship
we share. Bring your ideas, willingness to serve, and
love for each other. See you soon!
Best wishes,
Vicki
Our Next Meeting
When: September 14th, 2017 at 5PM
Where: Covenant Reform Presbyterian

BBQ so please check out their menu at
www.luellabbq.com

Alpha Phi Membership and News:
Alpha Phi works hard to support and care for its members– to celebrate the good times and help each oth-
er through the trials that come with life. Lois Jones has taken on the role of Sister Care Communicator.
She has done an excellent job in letting our sisters know about hardships and triumphs. If you have news
to share or would just like prayers and support, please contact Lois Jones at otarre@charter.net . Thank
you once again Lois!
Sister’s Sister Program:
The membership committee encourages you to maintain contact with your Alpha Phi Sister throughout the year. Emails, phone calls, cards (birthday, travel postcards), goodie packages, etc. Think of something that makes you smile and consider doing the same for your new Alpha Phi sister. GOAL: Support and Nurture our own as we grow from the inside out.

Each newsletter I will be adding a tip to help you get the
news out about our chapter. Make it a habit to either talk to
someone, or have someone ask you about DKG and Alpha
Phi.
Tip #1: Make a personal connection to a prospective mem-
ber/colleague. Get to know them, invite them to a meeting,
and be ready to explain what Alpha Phi/DKG means to
you.
Tip #2: When you are interviewed or are submitting an
article to the newspaper about an accomplishment, include
your membership and roles in DKG, specifically in Alpha
Phi Chapter.
Tip #3: Invite student teachers and graduates looking for
jobs to sessions to help them practice interviewing strategies,
plan units, discuss interdisciplinary plans and learning envi-
ronments, classroom management, the common core, and
dealing with stress. Let them know they have resources avail-
able.
Tip #4: Work with local school boards and secure a place
on the agenda during their annual awards and scholarship
meeting to present a DKG chapter or district scholarship to
a deserving graduating senior.
Tip #5: DKG has an entire line-up of merchandise that
many of us have already in our possession. It ranges from
logo bearing cell phone microfiber cleaners to tote bags to t-
shirts Wear , carry or distribute these as gifts as a way to
broadcast our chapters and organization.
Tip #6: Volunteer to be a guest speaker and give a pro-
gram about the Society at local community meetings such as
Women’s Clubs, Service Clubs, or Chamber of Commerce
meetings.
Tip #7: Write and submit pictures and short articles to
local media outlets, showcasing the wonderful things your
chapter is doing and how others can get involved.
Tip #8: Volunteer as a mentor to younger teachers. Show-
case not only the best strategies in education, but also the
way to help out locally, statewide, nationally and internation-
ally.
Tip #9: If retired, volunteer in schools to help our younger
teachers with their everyday struggles and tell them about a
network of teachers ready, willing, and able to help out.
Tip #10: Share what happens in your meetings and for your
service projects to let prospective members know the good
your chapter does and how they work in the county, state,
and world.
Tip #11: Branch out at local professional development.
We all know that we are getting CEU’s we can also Broad-
cast about how our chapters are working in other ways to
broaden our horizons not just in content, but in personal
growth as well.
Tip #12: When speaking at different events, share your
chapter’s website address or pull potential members over to
peruse your chapter’s Facebook page to showcase all the
good work and fun you have in your chapter.
