NEW CUMBERLAND - The September meeting of the Alpha Tau chapter, Alpha Delta Kappa International Honorary for Women Educators, was held at the Swaney Memorial Library. The meeting was called to order by President Amy Hannahs. The Thought for the Day, a reading from "A Teacher's Heart," was given by Chaplain Kathy Griffith.
Secretary Velda Icard presented the minutes of the May meeting and June Executive Board meeting, which were approved by the group. She also read three items of correspondence. Treasurer Angela Cunningham gave the financial report. President-Elect Fran Jones discussed the chapter booklet and reminded members to make any corrections for their information on the International website. Committee reports were given.
Names were drawn for Teacher Buddies, which pairs a retired member with a member currently teaching or working in the educational system. The purpose is to provide encouragement and support through notes, emails, cards and other forms of communication.
Hannahs announced that the chapter had received the status of a Seven Pearl Chapter from International Headquarters. Only three chapters in West Virginia received this recognition.
Special guest, Ohio Valley District Chairman Marge Politz, spoke to the group regarding the upcoming state convention which will be held at Oglebay Resort in the spring. Chapters in the Ohio Valley will be hosting the convention and have been notified of their responsibilities in preparation for the event.
Alpha Tau will also host the Ohio Valley District meeting which will be held at Scaffidi's Oct. 28. Members attending must register by Oct. 23.
Hostesses for the meeting were Hannahs, Mary Lou Martindill and Pam Robinson. The members enjoyed participating in a series of games and activities before enjoying refreshments.
The next meeting will be held Oct. 10.
