Yes, It's Beautiful British Columbia!

Vancouver and the British Columbia are indeed beautiful-- lush and green with huge splashes of wonderful color in varied blooming plants. The pre-conference training and tours have started here on the campus of the University of British Columbia.

Smiles, hugs, and laughter tell us it is a Delta Kappa Gamma meeting. The conversations and topics confirm that we are, indeed, Key Women Educators. Tonight we met with state organization presidents and executive secretaries for the first night of leadership training. Wednesday we will add State Organization Program of Work and Membership chairs, plus editors and treasurers.

Our first general session will be Wednesday night. Wish you were here!

SW, SE Regionals Hold Members Close

Members attending the Southwest Regional Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, enjoyed excellent speakers, interesting workshops, and close friendships. In an atmosphere of caring and nurturing, Southwest Regional members bonded, learned, laughed, and learned.

Our first two regional conferences of the summer have been a tremendous success. Jensi and Lorraine (regional directors) are very proud of these events, especially the steering committees and all the women working to "make it work."

Southeast Regional members saw the real New Orleans-- celebrating and strong. The women of Louisiana have "true grit" and can rise to any occasion. I saw rebirth of damaged buildings and lives. The 11 state organizations of SE created a cookbook to raise funds for the Emergency Fund and are selling it at each regional conference. Log onto the Florida website to order your cookbook if you don't have one yet. We are blessed.
