President’s Message
Finally and at long last, the final month of school is here. I know we all
have summer plans and I hope to hear about them at the May Meeting.
Kathy and Ruth are finalizing their plans for the 84th DKG Convention in
Austin and will be begging for more of us to go with them. I have a family
reunion that weekend and have been told sternly that I will be attending the
reunion. They can take care of all of the president’s duties at the
convention. I’ll be working with Bill taking sports pictures on and off
during the summer, and,
of course, getting my
inservice hours. By the
way, going to convention
May Meeting
seminars can be counted
for your CPE credits, too.

Mini Mushroom-&-Sausage Quiches These crustless mini quiches are like
portable omelets. Turkey sausage and sauteed mushrooms keep them light and savory.
Small and satisfying, they’re also a good finger food for your next party. photographer:
