Lambda Sigma President's Message
Dear Lambda Sigma Sisters,
What a wonderful meeting we had with our speaker, Jim McIngvale, and his informative message about OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Also, I want to thank MaryAnn Dolezal for initiating our fundraiser and Nancy & Leroy Shafer who donated the 4 rodeo tickets and our members who collected $350 worth of gift cards as well as donating a beautiful purse and wallet. Ed Roger, one of Ann Thompson’s ticket buyers, held the winning ticket. What hard work for such a great cause! Our chapter fundraiser raised over $3,000. Part of this money will go to our SEE committee to be distributed to Early Educators who have a need for funds to purchase school supplies. Another portion will go to a new fund for Actice Educators that supports our own members who are currently teaching. A committeee will be established to decide the details. If you are interested in serving, please let me know.
I believe love is in the air! At our February 11th meeting, we will show our love and appreciation for our dedicated past Presidents and Charter Members and honor their hard work for Lambda Sigma. I would like for them to share something that happened during their presidency. One idea might be how our chapter has changed over the years. We will celebrate our 37th birthday with a cake provided by our Hospitality Committee.
After the recognition of our Founding Members and Presidents, bios for prospective members will be distributred and their sponsors or members who know them will speak on their behalf. After this, we will vote.
We need to see who wants to go to our State Convention in Arlington June 20-22. I will bring information to the meeting so please sign up if you are going! It’s a lot of fun and you will learn so much about DKG.
We will have a short review of Grants due March 1st. I sent an email to you about where to look for Scholarships/Grants at dkgtexas.org (on homepage, click on 3 lines at left of page andscrolldowntoScholarships). Why wait? Read the guidelines and you can print them and get an application to fill out.
See you at the February 11 meeting at FUMC- First United Methodist Church, 431 Eldridge Rd. Sugar Land, Tx. 77478 in Noah’s room.
Thanks, Christi Chrisman

Fundraiser Big Success

Guess what the formula is for a successful fundraiser? The answer is rodeo tickets and gift cards to local eateries as well as members who sold the tickets! Getting the information out before Thanksgiving and Christmas (great stocking stuffers) sure helped along with the three tickets for $20 which was a great deal. Thanks to everyone who participated either by selling or buying tickets or making a donation. We raised $3,200; the best fundraiser I can ever remember.
“Mattress Mack,” Jim McIngvale, did the honors of selecting the winning ticket which belonged to Ed Roger, one of Ann Thompson’s husband’s friends. There were 429 tickets sold by thirty one (31) members. The top three sellers were Frances Courville selling thirty (30) tickets; Carla Meuth who sold thirty-seven (37) tickets; and the top seller with 49 tickets (drum rollllllll) was Ann Thompson! Honorable mentions: Mary Crochet (20) Cathie Ritchie (22) and Mary Ann Dolezal (27). Way to go, ladies.
Now the SEE (Support Early Educators) Committee will decide the best way to share the proceeds in the way of the amount and the number of gift cards to local teacher supply places. Women educators with less than four years of teaching experience will be selected. The Active Educator Assistance Fund (AEAF) was approved at the meeting. This will make grants available to our own chapter members who are teaching. Guidelines to follow on exactly how and when these grants will be distributed in 2019. This was an outstanding fundraiser due to a great team effort. The proceeds will impact many educators and students in our community which supports our mission: “The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International promotes professional and personal growth of women educators and excellence in education.”
