Inspiration -- at Spring Convention! 

Here are some announcements:

1. Spring Convention's theme was "SEE Things In A New Way." Here are some highlights:

• Delta Kappa Gamma Beta Beta State T-shirts are ready to order. The next deadline is August 1, 2015. If we can gather enough orders (25), then we can place the order earlier. Please read branding information: http://deltakappagammahi.org/attachments/Tshirt_order/BBS_Logo_info.pdf Click on following link for the order form: http://deltakappagammahi.org/attachments/Tshirt_order/order_form.pdf

• We were asked to pick a committee to be responsible for the 2017 Southwest Regional Conference. Alpha Chapter will be responsible for the All States Breakfast. This requires centerpieces, favors, meals, program, music, printed program, etc.
• Katherine Sakuda is asking for at least six volunteers for the May 3, 2015 Hawaii Convention Center Art Awards to be held from 11:30 am - 3 pm. Please contact Kathy Sakuda at bbsdkgks@hotmail.com should any sister be able to assist.
• We voted on the proposed amendments to BBS By-Laws and Standing Rule. We experience an new way of voting and I think we should try it as a chapter.
• A few photos have been posted on our website: http://alphachapter-hi.weebly.com/photos

2. I attended the "Tell Your Story with Impact!" session by Jo-An Goss and Joyce Tokuda. I loved the hands-on session. We created a message about joining Delta Kappa Gamma using Adobe Voice. Here's the link to the final product: https://youtu.be/gRG7b5XPZHc Please share :)
