Editor’s Note
Did you know that “the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International was founded May 11, 1929, at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas.. Dr. Annie Webb Blanton, member of the faculty of the University of Texas and a former state superintendent of public instruction in Texas, conceived the idea of an organization for women educators. Eleven women educators from Texas, representing various professional positions [and levels] in education, were initiated by Dr. Blanton and Alpha Chapter was installed on June 3, 1929.
The Founders believed that there was need for an organization in which women educators—rural and urban teachers; preschool, elementary, high school, college, and university teachers; librarians; school administrators; supervisors—might be united for efforts toward better professional preparation, recognition of women’s work in the teaching profession, and scholarships for those needing aid in improving their professional preparation.”
The mission of DKG has not changed over almost 90 years! Recognizing and supporting the potential of key women educators with membership in Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is needed just as much today as in 1929. DKG is a professional organization working to “impact education worldwide” bringing changes some may find challenging. Yet, if this 20th century society is to survive in the 21st, it will need to incorporate fresh ideas, modern technologies, newer ways. Be sure to follow what is happening at this year’s constitutional convention on the www.djg,org website under the Resources tab and let your voice be heard in Austin!
Next Meeting Date
Monday, March 19 – Luncheon at Amici’s Restaurant on the corner of 303 & Rt. 59 at 1 p.m. This would be a great time to bring a friend. Socialize and talk about programs, projects and your involvement with Alpha Eta. Why DID you join and what can we do to encourage others? Contact Marge LaPadula 357-6826 and let her know you are coming!
