Our 1920’s era program is an information session about the history and background of Delta Kappa Gamma.  Come and find out what was happening in the United States when DKG was founded.

Lunch will be foods from the decade and we are asking for $5.00 from each member to cover the cost of the food.

To fulfill one of our requirements for the state report, we will be taking a donation for the DKG Schools for Africa Project.  This will be a Silent Auction and we are asking each member to bring a new or gently used scarf, purse or piece of jewelry for the Auction.  We will have a table set up with the items on it with bid sheets by each item. At the end of the meeting we will close the bidding and the highest bidder on each item will go home with a new treasure! Feel free to bring more than one item!

Thank you for participating in this project!!!!

Please RSVP to Bobbi Momchilovich by Fri., Feb. 14.

The following is an email regarding the passing of Barb Biddick.

My Sisters,
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I send this E Mail.  I received a phone call today from Ann Walser, President of Alpha, that Barb Biddick passed this AM.
I was with Barb on Monday and she said-- "Wow, the women of DKG are awesome. Their cards and notes are so encouraging and inspiring. Tell them I'm fighting. Tell them Thank You."

Cress Funeral Home of Madison, WI will be handling arrangements.  Full obituary at
