PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

2011

Dear Xi Sisters,

As our new biennium begins, I would like to take a moment to thank each of you for your confidence and support. I feel honored and blessed to belong to such a fine group of educators. I look forward to serving as president, learning more about the society, and enjoying fellowship with all of you.

After our May meeting, Sandra and I visited a Beta Phi meeting. In a bitter-sweet setting, they decided to dissolve their chapter. I was touched by their hospitality and acceptance of us. Beta Phi members had a wealth of ideas about how to help their educational community. Their community will benefit from their sincere and giving hearts.

Sandra and I felt honored to be a part of their final meeting and privileged to invite these wonderful women to transfer to Xi Chapter. Many Beta Phi sisters accepted our invitation and we will have 6 new members joining us in October. We may also have Beta Phi members visiting our meeting who are considering transferring their membership to Xi chapter.

This summer was full of firsts for me and I can’t wait to share all that I have learned with each of you. The International Convention in New York was more amazing than I could have imagined and there is a lot to share. Sandra and I will be bringing some ideas from the convention for you to consider.

I hope that you all enjoyed your summer as much as I enjoyed mine. It always goes by so fast! But, now it is back to the real world and time to help our students grow and learn. Let’s get out there and make a difference for the children in our community.

I look forward to seeing all of you October 6th at our first meeting. I hope you will make it a priority to attend all 5 meetings this year and to learn the Delta Kappa Gamma song!

Your DKG sister,

Michelle Bergozza

President

Mindful of our sisters needing

Aid and guidance from those leading,

Helpful may we be!

Faith we pledge forever!

Hand in hand, our loyal band,

Forward, moving ever!

Onward! ‘tis our sisters need us,

Courage, Faith and Honor lead us!

Wrongs in truth and justice heed us!

Firmly shall we stand!

Guardians of the faith yet sleeping,

For our sister’s watch e’er keeping,

Deeds of others now we’re reaping,

We for others stand!

To us pioneers have given;

We return their gift to Heaven;

Work for others is the leaven

That inspires our band!

Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma,

In thy fold we gather;

Unity and Liberty

Shall be our watchword ever!

Education e’er we’ll further;

Each is bound to each as brother;

With this faith in one another

We shall win for aye!
