BETA THETA CHAPTER

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and it's back to school time!  Our first meeting this school year will be on September 9th at the Senior Center at 4:00.  Hopefully by then you will have received your new yearbook for this biennium and seen the hostess and committee assignments.    For those who wish to participate, we will be drawing for Secret Sisters.  If there is anyone who would like to coordinate this, please let me know.    I look forward to seeing everyone on the 9th at the Senior Center.                                                                                                    Fraternally,                                                                                                    Anne

Member NewsFrom Sister Karla Jennings

Karla Jennings, along with her sister and niece, traveled to Italy May 9 - May 24.  On their 15 day trip they traveled to Venice, Lucca, Cortona, Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, and the Isle of Capri.  They traveled by plane, boat, and train and stayed in bed and breakfast during most of the trip.  They had a great time meeting many Italian locals and eating authentic Italian food.

Have you ever visited the ADK website? It contains lots of great ADK information. There is also a section for sisters to submit poetry. This is one poem found there.

Teachers are ForeverA laugh—a smile—a stern reproachWhere are the children who earned them?

"They have gone on to greater things."Say teachers they left behind them.

For sayings go by those who knowThat each student's life endeavor

Is the result, product, and proofThat teachers' lives are forever.

—Gwendolyn Grossman

From Sister Amy Fraboni

Each summer my son, Andrew, has the opportunity to spend a month in upstate New York with family, and attending a variety of camps. His favorite activity at camp this year was sailing. (He is in the orange hat.)

The Lamp of Alpha Delta Kappa
