her shoulder and will begin therapy this week. Remember Carol P. as she
has knee surgery this week. Prayers, cards, and visits would be
appreciated- Mother Francis hospital through Friday the 12th.
JANUARY MEETING
Yum, yum, time for food and fun. This is our soup,
salad, and desert meeting. The phone committee will be calling you during
the week of January 15th to ask if you plan to bring soup, salad, or
dessert. The phone committee needs to report this information back to
Mary so she can let Linda Ann know before the 19th.

CHANGE) FOR THE INITIATION CEREMONY FOR JAYNE.
If you are not sure of directions to Linda Ann's,
please ask your telephone chairman when she calls.
ALTRUISTIC REPORT
Be compiling all your altruistic moneys
and hours. Peggy must have that
information at the February meeting. Remember the cost of items you
donated for the silent auction and the money you spent at the auction. We
raised approximately $300 for our altruistic projects. (Wow! you are
awesome!)

Hi Everybody, Well, if you missed the last meeting, you missed another fantabulous meeting. We were thrilled to initiate Jayne and welcome her as a new member. Then we enjoyed some delicious soups and salads, and of course great desserts. MMMMMMM good. Our next meeting is Monday, February 26--6:30 at ALPINE CHURCH OF CHRIST. Please note that this is a change in location. Its not much of a change. Go to the Loop and head toward Mobberly Baptist Church. If you are traveling east, get in the right hand turn lane right after you go under the Eastman Road (259) bridge. Look up. You will see the new water tower. Immediately past the tower there is a drive that goes up the hill beside the water tower. Turn there. As you get to the top of the hill, you will see a parking lot in front of you and one to your left. Turn into the lot on the left and follow it all the way to the flag pole and the covered entrance. Park near the covered entrance (if you look down, you will see Mobberly). Enter through the double doors under the covered entrance and walk all the way to the end of the hall. You're there. Please try to be on time since I will have the Sgt. at Arms stationed at the locked doors. Remember that this is our joint meeting with Theta. Carolyn has come up with another great program. We will have a humorist speaking to us. We will have the financial planner at a later date ( Theta has already had a financial speaker--therefore, the change.) If you would like to help with refreshments, contact Rhonda, Yvonne, Sharon, or Rachel. If you can help, give them a call. Happy birthday to : Cecelia - Feb. 12 Chloe - Feb. 17 Janice - Feb. 21 Reflections of ADK: Mary Peggy Shirley Counting on a good turn out. Let's make Beta Lambda proud. If you get lost, call 903-746-4026. Peggy wants to remind our members of the importance of bringing their altruistic reports to the meeting Monday or mailing it to her next week. You understand the importance of everyone doing one and how if reflects on our chapter report. Please remember to bring your report.APRIL A.D.K. Newsletter Publisher Patsy Green Volume Number 9 Issue Number April 2007 SPRING IS HERE! (Maybe) How have you liked these nice crisp mornings? I love the cool breeze and the chirping birds. Our tomatoes, though, would love some warmer weather. But after last year, I am so thankful for God’s blessings of rain and cooler weather. APRIL MEETING Can you believe, our last meeting of the year is upon us. We will meet on Monday, April 23 at 6:30 pm. Back to our meeting place at Mobberly Baptist Choir Suites on the Loop. Be sure to be there for the fellowship, program on relaxation (massages), and planning for the GARAGE SALE. We have had absolutely fantabulous programs this year. If you missed any, you missed a treat. Don’t miss this last one. Caroline did a super job this year. Be sure to give her a hug and a thank you for a job well done. DISTRICT V MEETINGMarian, Janice, Linda Ann, and I traveled to Marshall/Elysian Fields to the District Spring Meeting. As usual, the Carthage sisters did an absolutely fabulous job hosting the meeting. The Council voted to increase the District dues for next year by $1. That will make District dues $4 per person for the 2007-2008 year. If the need arises to reconsider that increase, it will be discussed at next spring’s meeting. As you may recall, when I placed this matter before you in November, our membership agreed to a $2 increase. At our April meeting we will address how you wish to handle this increase. The fall District meeting will be the first Saturday in October in Nacogdoches. Start now to make plans to reserve that Saturday for a fun, informative trip. The more the merrier. NEWS & NOTES I tried to forward the News and Notes to everyone, but some of you said you could not open yours. Sorry, technology is so wonderful it keeps everyone screwed up. Of course, most of the state’s focus at this time is toward the International Convention in San Diego, CA . I’d love to have several of you join me on a trip out there. I have a room reserved with a harbor view. Texas will host a Texas breakfast and a Texas reception. An of course, District V’s own Ann Hudson will be installed as International President. Yea, Ann! REFLECTIONS OF ADK will be shared by Katie , Cecilia, and Janice.April Birthdays: Carol P 25th May Birthdays Carol S 16th Rhonda 29th
