The state convention was going to take the place of our March meeting, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. It is currently scheduled for July 24 and 25 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Kenner. More information will be sent out at a later date.

If you are willing to be an officer, please contact Ellyn. We really need officers, so don't be shy about saying which position you are interested in. Most positions aren't very time consuming and past officers are always willing to help.

At every meeting, each sister is expected to wear her Alpha Delta Kappa badge. If you forget to wear it, you should donate at least $1.00 to the "pot", which will be donated to the food bank in addition to donations from members that will be collected in November and March.

This year we will again award sisters for various levels of participation. Sisters will earn "violets" as they complete the activities listed below. The sister with the most violets at the end of the year will receive a prize from the Violet Store. The prize will be a magnetic badge unless the winning sister already has one in which case another Violet Store prize will be awarded. The current totals earned so far this year are in the document below the activities.

Activities:

-one violet awarded for responding to the rsvp for each meeting

-one violet awarded for each meeting you wear the badge to

-one violet awarded for wearing pearls or ADK colors to a meeting/event

-one violet awarded for posting on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter (send screen shot to Ellyn)
