Hello SED!
Hope you all are excited for convention. It’s just days away. The weekend will be packed with fun and excitement as well as important business. Please make sure that you are checking your email, facebook, twitter, and tumblr for any last minute updates.
It’s been a long time, but I would like to remind you that I will be recognizing the chapters that participated in Service in Music Month back in October at convention. Afterward, I will post their accomplishments on the blog with pictures. Didn’t get a chance to participate in Service in Music Month? No worries.
Despite the fact that the term is coming to an end, there are still projects for you to participate in. You can still participate in the Service Database Challenge. All you have to do is submit entries via the SED Website – http://www.kkytbs.org/sed/tbs/index.html. You can find more information about that at http://sedvpsp.tumblr.com. The winning chapter will receive a commemorative brick in the walkway outside Stillwater Station in Oklahoma.
You can also view the Women in Music History blog series at “The Corner” so be sure to check that out as March is Women’s History Month!
I will also be collection scrapbook pages at District Convention. The district is asking for one scrapbook page from each chapter and colony in the district. Please include pictures of your chapter supporting music, serving the bands or the community, and having fun social events. The dimensions of the SED scrapbook are 19.5” x 16.5”. Please make sure that your page is cut to these dimensions so that it can be added to the scrapbook.
Lastly, I wanted to let you know of some other things that will be going on at convention. Just as we did last year, we will be raffling off two $25 e-gift certificates to One Greek Store. They are a local Gainesville Greek Paraphernalia store and they have awesome stuff. Tickets will be $2 a piece. It is open to Sisters and Brothers alike. The drawing will take place at the banquet, but the winner need not be present to win. All we ask is that on the back of your ticket you put your full name, TBΣ or KKΨ, chapter, and email address. We will contact you if you win. Proceeds will go to buy percussion instruments for a local elementary school music class.
There will be a card making station, much like the one at DLC for everyone to make cards and have them sent to Wava. The station will be located in the marketplace. Please be sure to stop by there when you get a change and make a card for her. Pictures are welcome and highly encourage. You can also donate art supplies! Again, Sisters and Brothers are welcome!
Can’t wait to see you in Orlando! Get pumped!
Love in Sisterhood!
