"Greetings from Grace"
Happy New Year! At the December executive board meeting we revised our Strategic Plan for 2000-2001. We developed strategies to coincide with State of Michigan Strategic Plans. Contact me if you would like to see a copy. It is time to be giving thoughts about recognizing a Chapter Woman of the Year and/or State Woman of Distinction award. These need to be identified and submitted to State by Feb. 15, 2001 and March 1, 2001. Contact me for applications and/or suggestions. For those supportive of Education but not educators or Delta Kappa Gamma members, we have Friends of Education Awards and Distinguished Service Awards. Can you recommend someone? Looking forward to everyone’s involvement in Gamma Alpha’s activities this year. Consider attending Detroit Metro Council Luncheon this year and/or the state convention. Grace |
To fight a cold: Help your immune system get rid of it. Drink 12 glasses of water a day when you have a cold - up from the usual eight. MINUTES in a MINUTE The January meeting was called to order by President Grace Morgan at 6:00 p.m. at the Roman Forum in Canton. Marie Canzoneri introduced our guest speaker, Thomas Libertiny of Prudential Securities. He gave us valuable information on estate planning, profolio investments and funding your child’s education. Members received their updated yearbook. If you need to pick yours up, please contact Colleen Retherford. Corresponding secretaries received a letter from Mary Foster wishing to resign. We also received a Thank You note from Barbara Broadley for the rose we sent in memory of her mother, Erene Murdock. Our deepest sympathies go to Marie Canzoneri on the passing of her husband on January 22. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marie and her family.
