May 2009 Newsletter
Rachel’s Ramblings
If you are like me, you can’t wait for summer to get here! Heading out for vacation, taking the kids to the pool and some relaxation are on my agenda for this summer. The CAKD officers hope that you have a nice, relaxing start to the summer – but don’t forget about your beloved Kappa Delta. I’ve attached a quick update on all things Central Arkansas Kappa Delta. As always, feel free to get in touch with my by e-mail at centralarkansaskd@hotmail.com.
May Lunch Bunch
5 KDs met for lunch at Pei Wei in Little Rock on May 14th for a quick bite to eat. We hope that you can come out to one of our future lunch bunch or happy hour events.
UALR
CAKD has no new report from nationals about the upcoming colonization at UALR. However, we expect to hear more throughout the summer, and especially after convention and the new CDC’s begin their duties.
The Scholarship committee has begun discussing the UALR scholarship that the Central Arkansas KD AA is going to help get started. We have completed the criteria, and now will begin the process of finding ways to fund the scholarship. There is still room on the committee for you, so please let us know if you are interested in helping us with the scholarship.
Panhellenic Tea / Little Rock Potential New Members
The panhelleic tea was held on April 26th, and that can only mean one thing for us – The reference book will start to be filled up with the potential new members from the Little Rock area. Please send an e-mail to centralarkansaskd@hotmail.com if you are able to help us out with references from specific schools, churches, or community groups.
KD Magazine Agency
You may have received an e-mail about this, but the Kappa Delta Foundation is wrapping up sales for year end on June 30th. They are still short of their $500,000 goal, and would love some help from the Alumnae. You can help out our local Alumnae Association by using the pull down menu and finding “Central Arkansas,” or you can help support any other chapter (but all the money raised goes to the Kappa Delta Foundation, and not individual chapters or AA’s) Click Here for a link to all the magazines that are available.
CAKD Officers
During the past month we added two new officers to the CAKD board.
Secretary – Mimi Mangrum
Social Chair – Amanda Pace
Mimi will help keep the records, and stay current with mailings. Amanda will help coordinate the happy hour events, among other duties. Welcome Mimi and Amanda to the officer board! Thank you for your willingness to serve!

2009 Annual Business Meeting Minutes
Sixteen (16) Kappa Delta sisters met at Buffalo Grill in West Little Rock on April 16, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. After some fellowship and catching up with each other; the following business items were discussed.
Business Items
1. Officers – There are several openings on the CAKD Board. These positions include secretary, membership, and public relations. Please consider an officer position in our group. Rachel Lipsey is willing to stay on as president for two more terms (2009-2010 and 2010-2011); however she feels that it is best for the group, as well as herself, if someone else takes the overall leadership role in 2011-2012.
2. CAKD Events for the Year – The remaining three scheduled events for the year are as follows:
Recruitment References and Recruitment Goodie Bag Preparation: Wednesday, July 29th
Battered Women’s Shelter Philanthropy: Monday, November 16th (DATE CHANGE)
New Year’s Bunko Night: Tuesday, January 26th
Other events for the year will be lunch bunch and happy hour groups (monthly), as well as events associated with the colonization of UALR. Please check your e-mail and our Facebook group page (Central Arkansas Kappa Delta Alumnae Association) for the latest dates and times of these upcoming events. We will be setting the May Lunch Bunch and Happy Hour groups by the end of April.
3. Convention – Rachel will be representing the Central Arkansas Kappa Delta AA at convention this year, and is excited about the opportunity to attend. She has asked the AA for a reimbursement of $200 for convention expenses.
4. CAKD Philanthropy/Scholarship/Other Activities – One idea that some members have considered is starting a scholarship for the UALR chapter as a way to help recruit quality members to the chapter. If you are interested in joining the scholarship committee, please e-mail CAKD at centralarkansaskd@hotmail.com.

Annual Business Meeting Notes
We had a very nice first meeting of the year for CAKD. We held officer elections, gave money to the KD Crisis fund, wrote notes to invite area KD's to join our group, and discussed this year's upcoming events. Ten of us had a great time eating and catching up with each other, and meeting new sisters! We hope to see even more of you for the July Goodie Bag meeting.
