Greetings from the President! e ta r h o c h a p t e r o f d e lta k a p pa g a m m a

Jeanette Lancaster

Hello, ladies! This year is just flying by! With the holidays approaching, I am reminded to be thankful for my many blessings. One thing I am thankful for is this wonderful group of ladies with whom I associate every 2nd Tuesday of the month! I enjoy knowing you and learning from each of you. I hope you each have an opportunity to reflect on your blessings, not just today, but each day of the year. We got our membership dues sent off on time! Woohoo! Thank you, Perki, for taking care of that, and thank you to each of you for getting your dues in! Also, our yearbook was sent in to meet the early deadline. Thank you, Debby, for taking care of that for us! The yearbook really looked great!
Upcoming Program and Activity

I'm really looking forward to this month's program with Dr. Ayers on Tuesday, November 13 at Bacon Heights Baptist Church. I hope you are, too! Invite a friend if you can!
Christmas Tea

Next month, we will enjoy fellowship with the other Lubbock chapters at the annual Christmas Tea. I hope you all are able to make plans to attend this, as well. Of course, we would love to have 100% attendance from Eta Rho if possible. (See the information on Page 2.)
