January 2011

February 2011

24^th – Recipe Exchange Event /Shamrock Cookbook sale at the Home of Rachel Lipsey – Are you tired of cooking the same old things week after week? Need some new recipes to share with family and friends? This event is for YOU! Here's how it works- everyone get out 3 of their favorite recipes (it can be anything) and copy them to one piece of paper. Make copies for everyone and at the party we will all exchange recipes so you'll have tons of new dishes to make. Bring one of the 3 favorite recipes cooked to the party for everyone to try. The more people the more recipes, so be sure and mark this event down on your calendar today! Eta Sigma and CAKD are partnering up to sell Shamrock Cookbooks this year, with all proceeds going to a local children’s shelter and Prevent Child Abuse America. Those cookbooks will be available to purchase at this event (hopefully!) Rachel’s address is 33 Daniel Drive, Sherwood, AR  72120. Time TBD

March 2011

16^th – Annual Business Meeting at Loca Luna – The annual business meeting is when officer elections, bylaw changes, and just the business of the AC takes place. We try to make it fun for all members, and this year will have the event at Loca Luna (3519 Old Cantrell Road, Little Rock, AR 72202). Time TBD.

Nominating Committee

As the New Year begins, it is time to begin thinking about the new leadership of our organization. The first step is to appoint a         nominating committee to accept and solicit applications for our groups 9 executive officer positions.  The past president (Rachel Davis Lipsey) and 2 other CAKD members, who are not running for an executive officer position, are needed for this committee. If you would be willing to serve on this very important committee, please contact Rachel at centralarkansaskd@hotmail.com by January 20, 2011.

Leadership Opportunities for 2011-2012

Officer elections for CAKD occur in March each year at our annual business meeting. This past month, a poll was taken of our current officers; and only 3 of the 9 executive officer members are planning on returning to their position next year; including the office of President. Because of this, we would like the CAKD membership to begin thinking about the various officer positions that are available and begin to think if you could apply and take on the position. Positions marked with an asterisk are positions where the current officer is not planning on returning in 2011-2012.

                VP-Membership*

                VP-Public Relations

                VP-Programming*

                VP-Collegian Relations*

                Secretary*

                Treasurer

                Panhellenic Delegate
