September 2022 - First meeting at Trinity Lutheran Church; collection of Busy Boxes, catered chicken dinner, a word of inspiration to take members through the year, and the program on the Olive Branch ministry - Sew Powerful Purses Project.
Pictures of Melissa (an NEA representative and our US Forum chairperson) at the White House.

April 2022 - last meeting of the year: distribution of Busy Boxes; Teacher Enrichment Grant book sale; a rose for the past officers; installation of officers for the 2022-2024 biennium; a handmade bookmark for everyone and the reveal of secret sisters; and the program on the Lokota Friends Circle work with the Pine Ridge Reservation - our donations, gathered through the year, were presented after the program.

March 2022 - The Heinz History Center: tour of the Special Collections Gallery; catered meal and meeting - one of our favorite venues!

Food at the Celebration Luncheon is always so beautiful and so delicious. . .
Picture
. . . topped only by the gorgeous birthday dessert.
Picture
The centerpieces were comprised of materials for educators, new to the profession. We took enough materials to create the centerpieces and then some. Three people at each table got to take them back to a new educator in her community.
Picture
Melody has enjoyed singing in the state chorus the past couple of years. This is before the final rehearsal.
Picture
The chorus is singing at the Saturday night banquet.
Picture
Phyllis, Barbara, and Melody enjoyed the Saturday night banquet. Barbara participated in the procession as our chapter president and received a red rose.
Picture
At the Celebration of Life Service on Sunday morning, candles were lit for those members we lost in the past year. Barbara lit one for Lois Crummie.
Picture
At the Sunday morning breakfast, the chorus split up to lead the blessing, sung by all in a round - twice (it was so beautiful).
Picture
At the Sunday morning assembly, the scholarships and enrichment grants were presented. Three of our members were worthy recipients. Phyllis put her grant toward a trip to Hawaii with her family.
Picture
Terry is applying her grant to her river cruise in Portugal.

And Barbara is spending hers on her cross-country road trip in her RV.

The Alpha Alpha State Convention was so good this year. Join us in 2014 at The Nittany Lion Inn!
