President’s Message
Dear Beta Chi Sisters,
How wonderful to meet together with so many
sisters and friends at the Peter Allen Inn House!
How fortunate that Eileen Niemi could share that
lovely evening among us as our honored Charter
Member. Her eyes sparkled all night long.
Fall is here with winter quickly encroaching.
Soon those weather forecasters will be predict-
ing that four-letter word (SNOW)! Lest we allow
this autumn season to slip through our fingers,
let’s take time to consider the beautiful diversity
of colors; the red, the gold, the brown, the or-
ange, the yellow. Each one enhances the other
simply by being different. The following poem
was written by a student. Perhaps, she was talk-
ing about more than leaves.
I like sunshine, I like trees.
I like dancing in the breeze.
I turn orange, I turn brown.
I go sailing to the ground.
I am crispy. I can crunch.
Get raked up in one big bunch.
During the Thanksgiving and Christmas sea-
sons, as you gather with family and friends, sa-
vor their sweet smiles and laugh at their corny
jokes. We can choose to be tolerant of others’
opinions and Aunt Betty’s five-pound fruitcake!
We hope you relax and enjoy. Looking forward
to celebrating on December 6th with our Alpha
Omega sisters and each one of you!
DKG Love,
Ann and Wendy
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Alpha Delta State Ohio

Throwback to Teaching
Kathy Morrow
Young, preschool children can be very en-dearing and their affectionate comments and gestures keep me going. Recently, a pre-school special needs child asked me if I own a car and inquired about the type of car I drive. I told her I have a Jeep. She ex-pressed to me that she has room in her gar-age for my car. She had an idea that she wanted to run by her mother. She suggested that I come to her home, park my Jeep in her garage, and play with her and her kitchen set. She said she would ask her mother if I could sleep over too!
