November Newsletter
Hello, Ladies,
Well, November has arrived, and the elections have come to an end. Hope all those elected will be looking out for the people they represent whether that be the city council or school board.
At our last meeting, Bonnie Young and Beth Dwyer presented a fantastic program on their trip to the Holy Land last Christmas. They gave the members a PowerPoint tour. Thank you ladies for a great program!!!
Our 2013-2014 Program Books were passed out. Dorothy Sanchez and her daughter, Susan, once again, did a
fabulous job. We thank you two for your hard work at getting them typed, printed, and put together. If you do see any errors, please let either Dorothy or myself know.
Everyone has paid their dues!! YEAH!! Thank you all for being so prompt.
We need updated information on the Tuesday Evening Club's two scholarships. Shirley and Dorothy were going to get updates and report back this month.
It was unanimously decided to give $75 to each school District. I checked into giving the money to the
Longfellow fourth grade in Salida for field trips. The principal, Mr. Chuck McKenn, was delighted with the idea. Kathy Roman was going to talk to someone in the Buena Vista Schools. She will report back at this upcoming
meeting.
Janet Steiner wrote an article about our project, "Books for Babies." She put it in both local papers and the Omega Peaks. It was half a page with a picture in the Salida Mountain Mail!! Thanks so much, Janet, for doing that for Upsilon Chapter. We received an e-mail from a citizen concerning the project. I will bring it to the meeting.
I went to Denver to the Omega State Fall Board Meeting on October 19. I was installed as the Omega State Corresponding Secretary so now it's official.
The Omega State Strategic Action Plan was updated in all areas. I am also the Communications Committee Chairman, so that was the section my committee updated. We will be updating SAP in our Chapter this year as well. The State is asking us to do a member profile and then compile it into a chapter profile. We will work on that at the next meeting.
Our next meeting will be held on November 19, 2013 at the Grace Fellowship Hall in Buena Vista at 6:00 p.m.
Our program will be presented by the Mighty Pickins' Music. These young people are students of Carole and Randy Barnes. Hostesses are Denise Scifres and Beth Dwyer.
We will be talking about our December 7th Christmas Brunch. I have invited the Omega State President, Beth Barzdukas, to join us. She has accepted, and the only thing that would hinder her from coming to Salida is the
weather!
Thank you all for being members of Upsilon Chapter.

Hello, Ladies,
Well, fall is here. The leaves are turning, and the weather is getting cooler! My how time flies.
On September 17, Upsilon Chapter met at the Grace Church Fellowship Hall in Buena Vista at 6 p.m. for our annual pizza party. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal.
During the business meeting, I informed the membership on the New Committee Structure of DKG. Our program books will reflect the new structure. The membership was updated on the dates and programs for this coming year. Dorothy Sanchez was unable to attend, and she had not gotten the program books completed. They should be completed by the next meeting.
On October 14, I will be attending a meeting in Eagle at 5:30 p.m. concerning a new committee---Chapter Strengthening Committee. The meeting will be led by Chairman Donna Hoover. Shirley Lambert and perhaps Kathy Roman will attend with me. I appreciate their willingness to participate.
After the business meeting, we bagged the books that Janet Steiner and Kathy Roman bought for our project "Books for Babies." This time enclosed in the bags was a pamphlet listing websites that parents could log on to
for information concerning the importance of reading early and often. We thank Janet and Kathy for their hard work on keeping this project going forward. I personally want to thank everyone for their time and funds given to this project. The nurses at the hospitals natal ward continue to tell me know much the parents appreciate the books.
Janet Steiner volunteered to write an article for the local papers about "Books for Babies." We all thank her for doing that. Shirley Lambert volunteered to write an article for Omega Peaks about our September meeting. We want to thank Shirley for doing this.
The Omega State Board meeting will be held on October 19, 2013 in Denver at the Holiday Inn Stapleton. Billie Love is planning on attending with me. If anyone else is interested, please let me know. I do have to go on the 18th since the Executive Board is having a dinner meeting Friday evening, but perhaps we can work something out and carpool.
REMEMBER, DUES MUST BE PAID BY OCTOBER 30, 2013--- ACTIVE DUES $65. RESERVE DUES $37. YOU MAY SEND CHECKS TO SHIRLEY LAMBERT.
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 6 p.m. at the Grace Church Fellowship Hall. The program will be given by Bonnie Young and Beth Dwyer. Hostesses are Billie Love and Kathy Roman.
Thank you for all you do for Delta Kappa Gamma!

Hello, Ladies,
Yes, summer is over and fall is here. Upsilon's Executive Committee met on August 21, 2013. Unfortunately, only Janet Steiner, Shirley Lambert, and I were able to attend. However, we got the program for 2013-2014
and rewrote the committees with their new names. Dorothy is working on printing our program. Shirley Lambert and I audited the books. All money was accounted for and verified.
From May 31 to June 2 the Omega State Convention was held in Loveland. I was unable to attend, but I was elected Omega State Corresponding Secretary. My installation may come at a later date or not... as I have been
working on the Omega State Directory in that capacity already.
Upsilon's first meeting will be held on SEPTEMBER 17, 2013 AT 6 P.M. AT THE GRACE CHURCH FELLOWSHIP HALL. We will have our annual pizza party, so I will send an e-mail out around Sept. 12 to get the number of members attending. I will call those members I don't hear from and the four ladies who do not receive e-mail. The executive committee will hostesses. During the meeting we will discuss the new names of the Society's committees. Our program will be bagging books for "Books for Babies". Janet and Kathy bought more
books.
Dues must be paid by October 30 to Shirley Lambert, Upsilon Chapter Treasurer: Active dues $65; Reserve $37
Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

Hello, Ladies,
On February 19, 2013 in Buena Vista at the Grace Fellowship Hall, Upsilon Chapter held their monthly meeting. The program, "Whale Watching," was given by Kathy Roman. Kathy had always wanted to see whales so that's just what she did! In Baja, she saw many whales up close and personal while kayaking. The pictures were fantastic!! She also saw the Pacific Salt Works and platforms for California condors. Thank you, Kathy!
Janet Steiner filled out a grant application to Monarch for a donation to our project, "Books for Babies." She will send it immediately.
Members decided to deliver flowers on Mother's Day. Bonnie Young will head that project. Two teams of our members delivered flowers on Valentine's Day. Janet & Kathy had the pleasure of delivering 80 roses to a gentleman who was celebrating his birthday. Pictures are on our website. A big thank you to the members who delivered for Valentine's Day!
Remember we do have membership forms and forms for our two Upsilon Chapter Scholarships. If you need either of these forms, just let me know.
I will be attending the Omega State Spring Board meeting on March 16, 2013 in Denver. At our March meeting I will inform you of items discussed there.
Billie Love was honored at a surprise 85th birthday party on March 3, 2013 at the Grace Fellowship Hall. Her daughter Susan and niece Bonnie did a great job. There was lots of food and a beautiful cake. Pictures are on our website.
After checking the Health Fair schedule for Buena Vista & Salida, I set our April luncheon:
APRIL 6, 2013 AT 11:00 A.M. AT THE UNITED METHODIST FELLOWSHIP HALL IN SALIDA.
The ladies are excited and are trying to cook something new for us. The cost is $12.00, and I need reservations. Please mark your calendars!

Hello, Ladies,
Our January 15 meeting was held at the newly remodeled Grace Church Fellowship Hall. Those present were entertained by a local youth band, "Might Pickin' Pickles," taught by Randy and Carole Barnes. They were very good and played a variety of folk tunes. We hope they will come back again next year!
Bonnie Young will organize those members who are able to help with the Valentine's flower delivery. If you are able to help and have not been contacted by Bonnie, just give her a call at 395-8414.
On January 30, 2013, Coletta Sanchez, Bonnie Young and Theresa Cortese visited the women teachers at Avery Parsons Elementary School in Buena Vista. The purpose was to get new members. Coletta initiated this, and we thank her for setting it up and taking time to help our Chapter.
Upsilon's local scholarship applications are due by March 1, 2013. If you can use this scholarship, please put in for it. We can give 2.
Also, if there are any potential members, please bring their names to the next meeting.

Dear Ladies,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had a great holiday! Can't believe it's 2013.
On December 8, 2012 twelve members and one guest, Carole McIlvane, attended Upsilon's Christmas Brunch in Salida at the United Methodist Fellowship Hall. The Methodist women served a delicious brunch as usual. We really love having them cook for us. We collected "Toys for Tots" and Kathy Roman took them to Buena
Vista High School. Thanks, Kathy! I did a story about the Nightingale for World Fellowship, and Carole Barnes
played the guitar while leading us in Christmas Carols. I believe everyone enjoyed the brunch.
Everyone should have received their Omega Peaks Newsletter. Janet Steiner wrote an article and we appreciate that. Thank you, Janet. You may have also read my bio as I am running for Omega State Corresponding Secretary.
Our next meeting will be on January 15, 2013 in Buena Vista at the GRACE CHURCH FELLOWSHIP HALL at 6 p.m. The Grace Church Fellowship Hall has been remodeled and is ready to be used. YEAH! For our program Carole Barnes' music students will play for us. Hostesses are Janet Steiner, Shirley Lambert, and Betty
Farrington.
Don't forget to fill out your biography paper to update our scrapbooks in March. Feel free to bring it to any meeting after you fill it out, or you may mail to me. See you on January 15.
