References 2010
CAKD is entering reference season, and we need your help to gather information and write references on qualified potential new members. Each year we receive requests from collegiate chapters, local panhellenic associations, and individual potential members for references. Last year CAKD wrote over 130 references to 16 collegiate chapters.
CAKD will hold 3 separate reference meetings to organize and sort references: June 10th, June 29th, and July 18th (in conjunction with the annual Mexican Fiesta Chapter support meeting). If you can make the meetings, GREAT -- if not, we can still use your help! CAKD also is looking for reference writers. These sisters let us know if they are connected with area schools, churches, or community groups that PNMs might have been associated. Please send us an e-mail at centralarkansaskd@hotmail.com if you are willing to be a reference writer with area schools, churches, and community groups that you are connected.
Thank you for your help with references this year!

Networking 101
By: Tricia Fredinburg Curreri
Our first Networking 101 session was a true power hour! After visiting over catered lunch from Olive Garden, we received invaluable information from certified business coach Marcia Cook with Pinnacle Performance Solutions. Marcia's session "Using Kappa Delta in Your Network" focused on why, where, and how to use networking to make you more successful not only in your business, but in your everyday life.
Did you know that referrals generate 80% more results than cold calling? And, approximately 60% of all new jobs and contacts are made through networking?
There are almost 350 Kappa Deltas in the local area. Imagine if you would engage with our common circle of friends on a professional and personnel level. Your networking circle(s) just grew tremendously! With active listening, an important networking skill, you could help other business colleagues, friends, and family fulfill their needs. According to Marcia, networking is learning about people, what they do, and how you can help them.
Networking is an important aspect in being successful in today's fast paced and challenging environment. It happens everywhere - community organizations, referral groups, faith communities, and online. Go one step further and add KAPPA DELTA to your repertoire for networking.
Marcia Cook was voted Best Business Consulting Firm in 2009 by Arkansas Business. She works with executives to facilitate communication, improve interpersonal skills, and achieve peak performance. For more information, please visit www.pinnacleperformancesolutions.net.

Rachel's Ramblings - 6/1/2010
Even though the calendar says summer doesn't start until June 21st, I'm pretty sure that Mother Nature thought we should get to summer just a few weeks early! I hope that you each enjoyed a wonderful Memorial day weekend, remembering the sacrifices of so many who have made our country free. As several people have mentioned this weekend, "Thank you" just doesn't seem to say enough to our military personnel and their families, but I know that it is the heart of so many grateful citizens.
As we enter the hopefully relaxing summer months, I hope that you will keep KD in mind. June, July and August have reference meetings, chapter support events, networking meetings, and just general summer-time fun that we would love for you to attend. Also, we currently have 28 paid members as of 5/30/2010 for 2010-2011. CAKD's goal is 75 members for 2010-2011, so we still need many of you to consider joining us to make this the best year EVER for CAKD. Please consider joining as a active ($40) or mailings ($25) member. You can find the membership form in the 2010 annual newsletter, posted here: http://tinyurl.com/2010ANL.
Stay Cool this summer!

Rachel

January 2010 Newsletter
January Eta Sigma Colony Events
Eta Sigma will have a busy month with 3 separate CDC visits, Second Degree, and Initiation this month. Check your calendars to see if you can help out on any of the following days:
• January 14th at 6:00 PM– New Member Exam. Eta Sigma is in need of non-CAB proctors for this event in
the UALR Donaghey Center, Room D. CAB will be meeting with the CDC national officer in town at that
time, and so we are in need of some KDs to help out for that night. Contact Jessica Holcomb at kdjesi570@hotmail.com or 479-979-8300.
• January 18th at 5:00 PM – Second Degree. Because of CDC and colony scheduling, 2nd Degree has been
planned for a time when no national officer, or assisting chapter, can help with the Eta Sigma 2nd Degree
ceremony. The Eta Sigma CAB has been placed in charge of preparing and presenting the 2nd degree ceremony to the Eta Sigma New Members. This event is much more meaningful if we have Kappa Delta sisters attend and start the first step to welcoming the sisters into our sisterhood. We will have a review at 5 pm in the UALR Donaghey Center, Room D; with the ceremony starting at 6 pm. Contact Rachel Lipsey at
rachel.lipsey@sbcglobal.net or 501-413-0954 if you can help us out.

Eta Sigma at UALR Donaghey Center, Room D. You are invited to come and participate, as well as help
prepare and serve at in the Initiation Reception following. While there is no real need to practice (as Zeta

Our Girl Scout committee has been brainstorming this past month on an activity for our February Girl Scout event, and is currently talking with local troops to see how we can best be of service. We’ll post the date and time of this February event ASAP.
March Shamrock Event
CAKD has decided to do a shopping event at White House Black Market for our 2010 Shamrock event. Appetizers will be served, and 10% of all total sales for the shopping party will go to Prevent Child Abuse America’s, a KD philanthropy, projects and services. We haven’t nailed down the specific date, but are planning it for a Sunday evening in March. Stay tuned for more details to come!
