A Word from our President

Picture
 Upcoming and Ongoing

 The DKGNJ State Convention is postponed due to the pandemic.
State leadership is working on the details for the transition, but the bottom line is the new dates are May 29-31. 
    It is up to you to cancel your current room reservations for March 27-29 and if you are available for the new dates, hold off until after March 24th to make the reservations because our block of rooms won't be ready until then.
    Thanks for your understanding and stay safe. (We'll keep you posted on any updated convention options as they arrive.)

​* Book Drive - "For The Love of Books"
All NJ State Chapters are collecting books for underprivileged children from grades Pre-K through High School.  This project supports the President's Project of Ingrid Williams, our new State President. 
Here are  the details...
 Our goal is 25 or more new or gently used books per member.  
 Sky, as the committee representative, will report Sigma's total. Thanks for  all your donations so far. As of January 3rd we have collected 1050.
Here's what you can do...
Ask family and friends if they have any gently used books for grades k-12 to donate.
You can  drop off books to  my house at 137 Eaton Way, Cherry Hill or Sky's house at 17 Mindy Drive, Moorestown. (Please box and count your books.)

DKGNJ Yearbook 2020
I just received a copy of the 2020 DKGNJ yearbook.  Since this information was submitted in September, please don't use the Calendar of Events as a reference as some dates have changed. 
​The individual membership information is a great reference. I usually save it to my desktop or you could print a hard copy of the Sigma section only.​

This year's event was wonderful! It was held at The Riverwinds restaurant in West Deptford...a beautiful setting right on the Delaware River. The guest speaker was Mr. Hal Tayor, author of The Illustrated Delaware River. The food was delicious and the presentation fascinating.

   Our friend and sister, Laura Lewis, passed away on November 3rd in Tampa, FL
   She was in the army, taught at Lenape H.S. for 35 years, was a Charter  member and strong supporter of Sigma  and stayed active with us throughout the years and all her travels, as did her friend and partner, DKG sister Carolyn Smith.
      Peg Madison reminds us, Laura " was truly an amazing lady with a contagious zeal for life and laughter. "
     We hold our memories of her in our hearts.
