President’s Message
Dear Beta Chi Sisters,
Over the ground lies a blanket of white… WHAT? ALREADY?!!!! But it’s too early! Like it or not, snow fell prematurely this year, maybe before you’d even bought your Thanksgiving tur-key. In this wonderful season, with its hustle and bustle, we hope you make time to relax and enjoy the beauty and promise it offers. Perhaps you will snuggle in and binge watch the newest Hallmark movies or your favorite holiday clas-sics. Do the following words hold a special memory for you?
“Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Perhaps Christmas means a little bit more.”
“Teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings!”
“God bless us, everyone!”
“Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace and goodwill toward all.”
“May your days be merry and bright….”
Whatever your own special traditions, let us crawl out from under that cozy blanket to re-member the lonely and less fortunate by sharing our time and our blessings. A call, a text, a visit, a card may brighten someone’s day with the re-minder that Christmas brings light and joy, peace and hope, and love to all.
“….and may all your Christmases be white!”
DKG Love,
Ann and Wendy
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Ohio State Organization
