Beverly Utz
President
Thanks to everyone that made our November meeting
a special one. We learned by our speaker, Kim
Brainard, that movement trumps sitting, talking
trumps listening, images trump words, writing
trumps reading, shorter trumps long, and different
trumps same. Our state president, Eileen Little,
joined us for our eventful meeting. Thanks for those members that
volunteered for a position in 2020-2022, As we know, we are still
seeking a president. I have enjoyed my almost four years. In order
for us to continue, it is important that someone takes the position.
Remember, we discussed two people could consider a co-president
position. We welcome our new member, Laura Young.
Merry Christmas!
Beverly Utz

State Convention in State College,
June 12-14, 2020
The incoming Chapter President should
plan to attend the leadership training
starting Thursday evening, June 11,
2020. Leadership Seminar for members
and incoming Chapter Presidents will be
different this year. The leadership committee shared
the idea of having the Leadership Seminar in connec-
tion with State Convention. Incoming Chapter Presi-
dents would be invited to come to State College on
Thursday, June 11, 2020 for a meet & greet at
7:00PM. Then Friday, June 12, 2020 their day would
include breakfast, a morning session, lunch and an
afternoon session ending at 4:00PM. PA State would
pay for ½ of their room on Thursday evening, and
breakfast and lunch on Friday. During the Saturday
workshop sessions at State Convention there would
be training during the morning and afternoon. Thus,
Incoming Chapter Presidents would receive 10 ½
hours of training (ACT 48 hours available). We are
thinking that combining Leadership Seminar/
Incoming Chapter Presidents training with State
Convention would be more convenient to busy
schedules. Incoming Chapter Presidents would regis-
ter for State Convention and there would be a sepa-
rate registration for their Leadership training. It is
the hope that more Incoming Chapter
Presidents would be available to attend.

The Downtown Marriott Hotel in Philadelphia was selected as our 2020
Convention Hotel.
The Philadelphia Marriott Downtown is situated in the heart of a vi-
brant downtown district just 15 minutes from Philadelphia Internation-
al Airport (PHL). A skywalk conveniently connects it to the local transit
station, Jefferson Station.
Tuesday’s opening session on July 7 will begin at 6 p.m. with the bienni-
al procession of the flags representing the many countries and cultures
of members in our Society. Welcomes delivered by such U.S. historical
personages as Ben Franklin and Betsy Ross will set the tone for a week
devoted to historical sights just outside the doors of the Marriott Down-
town Hotel, site of the convention. Shortly after 7 pm, the ticketed
event at the Reading Terminal Market directly across from the hotel’s
main entrance begins. You will be able to choose to eat from the many
food vendors. You will be entertained by local musicians and browse the
sales stalls. Tickets for the opening night event at the Reading Terminal
Market will be available for purchase on the convention registration
form, scheduled for posting on the DKG website by January 6. The hotel
room block will be available for reservations December 1.
