Lambda T-Shirts May 2025

5/25/2025

Dear DKGNJ Sisters,
For those of you who missed out on getting your own “What Happens with the Sisters Stays with the Sisters” tee shirts at Convention: We (Lambda) do have some left. In fact, I will be bringing a few to sisters at the state meeting who wanted to get one or to get an additional one for their ‘biological’ sisters. I could do the same for you, if you’re interested. Just email me and I’ll put one into my bag for you. You can pay me $25 for your shirt at the meeting. BTW, we thank you all for helping to make this a successful fundraiser for our chapter initiatives/projects. See you on the 30 th 1

March 20 - Inside Impact

3/13/2025

 
Picture
Inside EEC has been renamed Inside Impact because as you all know what we do in Educational Excellence makes an impact on communities, schools, and around the world.  Our next Inside Impact features a global art project presented by CityArts.  The founder of this arts organization was made an honorary international DKG member last year. ​Contact Cathy Fortunato for the Zoom link.

DKGNJ-Committee Chair Interest/Intent Form

1/31/2025

 
​As we look toward the future of DKGNJ, it's time to start searching for women who would be interested in serving at the state level.  While we already have a slate of officers for the next biennium, it takes much more than state officers to keep our organization going.  The incoming president will select her committee chairs to lead us forward. Members may self-nominate and/or nominate someone else. It would be great to have every chapter represented on a committee at the state level!  

The most frequently asked question is " How much time is involved?"  Not all state chairs have the same time commitment.  Some chairs keep us informed on issues by forwarding emails from International, while others have the majority of their work centered around the state convention.  There are 3 state meetings a year (September, January, June) and the convention in the spring, but not all state chairs are required to attend all state meetings.  We encourage every member to come to the state meetings to see and hear what is going on in the state, whether they are a state chair or not.  Not only that, it's a great way to meet women from other chapters.  

I encourage you to consider accepting a committee chair position   Consider encouraging someone who might be a little reluctant. Sometimes, all it takes is a little encouragement and being recognized by a colleague.  We are an organization of volunteers and it takes all of us working together to keep us ever-moving forward! Have them call, text, email me!

Please respond to this form no later than March 29, 2025.

Remember...You Are Amazing!
We need YOU and your VISION!

On Friday, May 3, 2024 Lambda Chapter Celebrated Our Fourth Early Educator Award Recipient!

5/6/2024

 
Picture
The EEA was founded by Dr. Marilyn Gonyo who set the guidelines to help a female graduating senior to embark on a career in education, especially those most in need of financial assistance, in order to defray the costs of the state testing and certification.  The annual award continues under the leadership of Kimberly Falcone.  This award and mentorship directly enacts the DKG Society International policy and vision to Support Early Educators (SEE).

Members of Lambda Chapter met on the campus of Georgian Court University at a luncheon to honor graduating senior Lauran Schwerthoffer and to meet with her family.  The photograph includes Wilhelmina Bryant, DKGNJ State First Vice President Cathy Fortunato, EEA recipient Lauren Schwerthoffer, Lambda Chapter EEA Chairperson Kimberly Falcone, DKGNJ State President Irene Maskaly, Dr. Marilyn Gonyo, and Noreen McHale.

Congratulations Lauren and welcome to the profession as a new educator!
