October 2010
Race for the Cure – October 16th. We know that many of our Kappa Delta alumnae are participating with other groups, and if so – that is wonderful! If you don’t mind, can you please send us an e-mail (centralarkansakd@hotmail.com) so that we can note how many of our members are participating with other organizations? If you don’t have a team to participate with, please consider joining the Kappa Delta Team. They will be meeting at Jason’s Deli in North Little Rock at 6:30 AM on Saturday morning. For more information, give Eta Sigma VP Community Service Holly Gibbs a call at 870-917-5249.

We will be honoring all the Diamond, Emerald, White Rose, and Nautilus Circle inductees in the Central Arkansas area, as well as introducing the “Ever Loyal” campaign of Kappa Delta. We hope you can join us for this event!
Arkansas Homecoming – October 30th. TBD. Because game time has not been released yet, I assume that CAKD will hear later this month about Zeta Gamma’s homecoming plans. When I hear any information, I will pass it along to you.

December 2010

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!
