The amendment to the state by-laws passed with a unanimous vote of 352-0. We can now conduct a business meeting electronically. Thank you for voting! All members are encouraged to log into the International website (dkg.org) to make sure your information is correct. When we did the email for the Amendment vote, we found many incorrect emails.

(if you don't have a membership card with your id on it, contact your chapter treasurer because she will have it)PASSWORD: MUST include 7 characters – including at least one letter and one number. If you have never logged in, use dkg2014society as the password and change it when you get in. Go to to the MYDKG tab and check your information. We found many errors when we were sending refunds and voting emails! If you have trouble, use their contact chat/phone number - they're used to people who can't make it work :).

Your DKG Membership We didn't get to go to Philly for the International Convention - and the Jersey Girls didn't get to go out to dinner! The International Convention happened anyway, of course. We're teachers and we always rise to the occasion. The convention was virtual and many of us did not get to "attend" when it was held, but you can catch up! There is a page on the DKG website (yes, you have to be signed in) that is "BEYOND THE VIRTUAL EVENT, Highlights and Links|Available for a year" and to help us out, there is a pdf of the links at a glance - you can get it here.  Member Spotlight Dr. Bea Card Kettlwood - Kappa Chapter We in DKGNJ know Bea as an artist and a member of Kappa Chapter. Whenever Kappa has had the assignment of place cards for the head table at convention, Bea has done them all as hand painted works of art. If you Google Bea, she pops up all over the place! "An essay assignment for students by a Butler High School English teacher 70 years ago was significant enough for a class member to include it in a book she recently wrote to tell her life story. The teacher, who in 1946 told her students to “Write an Autobiography Looking into Years in the Future of your Life” was Muriel Benoy. The student is Dr. Beatrice Card Kettlewood of Pompton Plains, who was a 16-year-old junior when she wrote her essay. Today Kettlewood is a renowned artist whose work includes the stained glass windows and bas-relief sculpture at the Interfaith Chapel at Chilton Memorial Hospital; a full wall back lighted window with the theme of Fire, Earth, Water and the Tree of Life at Morristown Memorial Hospital; stained glass with a theme of trees representing different religions at Morristown Rehabilitation Institute and windows with the theme of the Seven Days of Creation at Hackettstown Community Hospital – Adventist Health Care. She also did three transom windows for the First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains with Rev. Vincent Fasano for the 250th anniversary of the church."

Prior to her retirement, Dr. Kettlewood was a high school art educator and part-time Extension Division at William Paterson University. She elected to remain a high school art educator and has many former students in art careers." Deadlines: Don't miss anything!
