Several of our members met on Saturday to plan for the upcoming year and close out the present year. Information about programs, altruism, and hostesses for each month is in the notes that Genie sent, but I am including this as a reminder for me as much as information for members who weren't present.

This meeting concluded the meetings for this biennium.

I can't wait to hear about all the fun those attending Fun Day will have. Enjoy! Don't get kicked out of the hotel!

I remembered to post details and pictures from our last meeting, but I can't find my notes listing details and names! Maybe I need another New Year's resolution: To post Beta Beta updates immediately after a meeting. In January, we met to conduct our auction for the Marjorie Clark scholarship. We raised an amazing $500+ to bank toward that scholarship. We also heard from two of April's friends who are set to go on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. While they are going through their church, they are excited to get an opportunity to visit a local school so they can see education in that country. Best wishes to them as they travel. Gail was back to show off her auctioneering skills. Check out the pictures from the auction. If you weren't there, you can be envious of the goodies that you missed getting.

The Beta Beta Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa hosted the Athens District meeting in Gainesville at Gainesville First United Methodist Church. On Friday afternoon, we put the pumpkin patch in order in this lovely facility. There were pumpkins of every size and shape, and thanks to the kids at Chicopee Woods Elementary, there were the cutest original pumpkins to decorate our tables. Kudos, Jackie, for making the arrangements for us to use this beautiful facility, and a big thanks to the staff members who helped us!

Then Saturday morning arrived, and we welcomed our guests. April, our president, officially greeted guests, and business began. Officers met in groups to get new ideas. Ways and Means tables provided opportunities for some shopping, and old friends enjoyed getting together again. Jean rounded up delicious box lunches, and everyone visited and lunched.

The meeting concluded with an invitation to the next district meeting to be held in the spring.

Take a look at some of the pictures from the meeting.
