KANSAS HONORS 2008-2009

ESA Named Benefactor of the Year by Goodwill Industries Easter Seals of Kansas.

Approximately 27 Kansas ESA members attended the Goodwill Industries Easter Seals of Kansas Annual

Meeting at the Marriott in Wichita, Ks on September 23. "Supporting Branches of Opportunity" was the

banquet theme. A delicious prime rib dinner was enjoyed. A video of activities that had been held at

Goodwill/Easter Seals was shown during the dinner hour, including the Festival of Trees, the Client Birthday

Party, and the work areas of the employees.

During the Award Presentations, Epsilon

Sigma Alpha was named Benefactors of

the Year. Joy Thornbrugh, Kansas State

President accepted the award on behalf of

the Kansas Membership. Charmaine

Nichols and her committee were

recognized for their participation in the

Festival of Trees.

Following the presentations, Jerry Traylor

was the guest speaker. Traylor was born

with cerebral palsy and even though he

had a disability, he did not let it slow him

down. He was fitted with leg braces to aid

him when a child and walks now with two arm crutches. He has finished 28 marathons, climbed 14,110 to

the top of Pikes Peak, jogged 3528 miles across American from San Francisco to New York, and parachuted

from 12,500 feet. He gave a very inspiring and humorous talk about the possibilities that each of us possess.

Traylor pauses to take a picture with President Joy Thornbrug, Clara Ginn, 2007 Easter Seals Chairman, and

Current Committee, Delgene Sealey and Easter Seals Chairman Sue Gosslin.

According to Goodwill Industries Easter Seals, “It is hard to imagine Goodwill Industries Easter Seals of

Kansas without the support of Epsilon Sigma Alpha. Out 2008 Benefactors of the Year have been involved

with our organization for more than three decades. Epsilon Sigma Alpha [ESA} is a premier leadership and

service organization for women. Their purpose is to inspire leadership and service by bringing people

together to pursue programs and projects that make a positive difference in the local, national and global

communities.

One focus of ESA's charitable giving is Easter Seals. ESA's involvement with Goodwill Industries Easter

Seals began when the local Easter Seals chapter started producing a telethon. The three-day event required

countless hours of volunteer support to answer phones, serve food and helped with logistics. That

relationship grew over the years and when Easter Seals and Goodwill merged in Kansas in 1986, ESA

continued to support our mission.”

Over the years, ESA's involvement grew from telethon support to helping year round. With 49 chapters and

about 800 members in Kansas their efforts have been instrumental in the success of our fundraising events

from the sports auction, cosmic bowling, and the telethon and of course The Festival of Trees. Without the

support of ESA there might not be a Festival of Trees, ESA members serve on various committees, organize

volunteers, donate trees, bake cookies and attend the Festival of Trees events to support it financially as well.

When Goodwill Easter Seals has a need there is always someone from ESA ready to help. This year, ESA

chapters even organized a birthday party for the organizational employment clients so no one went without a

birthday party this year. May ESA chapter even organize their own fundraisers and have done several poker

runs, bowling events, style shows and much more.

Epsilon Sigma Alpha's impact on Goodwill Easter Seals cannot be measured. Whether they've purchased

tickets to an event, served on a committee, baked cookies or donated items to our stores, ESA members have

helped to change the lives of Kansans with disabilities and further our mission"

International Recognition for work accomplished in 2007-2008

Kansas Women Recognized for Outstanding Leadership

The 2007-2008 Kansas State President, Pam McElvain, was recognized

in the top five Outstanding State President's by the International council

this year. As third runner up to this high honor, Kansas is very proud of

its Past State President.

Kansas delegation returned home to Kansas with many top honors for

Kansas this year. Kansas is proud of its ESA members recognized for

outstanding work at the International Convention held in Chattanooga,

Tennessee July 6-13.

(L)Achieving the Sixth Degree Pallas Athene is no small

achievement. Charlene Hansen achieved this high honor

by fulfilling the education, service, and association

components of the Pallas Athene program. The education

component was achieved by becoming a "Certified lay

speaker" which can be used at the community, chapter,

and state levels. Her lay work can be an asset to the ESA

Care connection. For the service component Charlene

hand-knitted 70 stocking caps for Hats for Hope in 2007.

This brings her total of knitted caps to 174 with 4 cap &

scarf sets. For her association component she taught a 10-

year-old boy how to pearl. This little boy now has all kinds of plans to put his talent to use and Charlene will

be starting a knitting class in the county where she will be one of the instructors. (R) Maureen Wells brings

home the trophy this year for being the International Outstanding State Circle of Life Coordinator. This

coveted award honors the work to build funds for our International Philanthropic Project, St. Jude Children's

Research Hospital. Congratulations Charlene and Maureen!!

(L)Another outstanding effort was Bonnie Templeton's

work for the ESA Foundation. Honored with the ESA

Foundation State Counselor's Award of Excellent,

Bonnie's award recognized her efforts to promote the

Foundation in Kansas by letters, articles, membership

growth, and workshops. (R)Although Susan Winters did

not get elected for the Workshop Coordinator of the

International Council this year she will be serving on the

board as the News Bulletin's chairman. Susan has served

several years on the International Executive board and

has done outstanding work with each post she has held.

We know that she will continue to do outstanding work for the International Council.

Although the awards were not individual awards these

two ladies led the way for Kansas to achieve high honors

this year. (L) Charlotte, Jr. Past President of the Kansas

State Council, was chairman of the Disaster Fund. Kansas

received a first place for the Disaster Fund Chair Award

with a total fund raising of $9,275 and third place for the

State Disaster Fund Award bringing in $185.50 per

chapter to the fund this year. (R) Clara Ginn, as Easter

Seal Chairman led Kansas to a first place win of $4242.86

per member for the Easter Seal - State Monies Award. An

outstanding effort by both these ladies but the first thing

out their mouths will be, "it was the membership that did it."

What Epsilon Sigma Alpha Means to Me

Member under one year - Winning Essay

When I think of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, I see opportunity. ESA provides so many opportunities of

service, education and development, friendship and support.

The right to be of services is said to be ESA members only right. This opportunity of bringing positive

change by service exists on so many levels. We not only support many worthy international and

national charities, but also contribute to causes close to home. Knowing that I’ve brought a smile to

faces after singing at a nursing home or that I’ve helped provide a nutritious meal for people has not

only a positive effect on them, but also on me. The satisfaction of knowing we do make a difference is

tremendous.

I see so many education and development opportunities in this organization. We learn not only from

providing educational outreach programs to the community, but also from the education programs at

local meetings and seminars at Council meetings and conventions. ESA provides the opportunity,

tools, and hands-on experience to develop leadership and many other skills.

My chapter, Gamma Omicron, is a diverse group. There is a wide range of ages and personalities. At

my introduction to this group I noticed immediately the friendship, caring, and support they all gave

to each other. This opportunity to share with these women exemplifies what Epsilon Sigma Alpha

means to me.

What ESA means to Me

Member over 1 year - winning essay

Well, nine years have passed since I attended my first Zeta Phi meeting and I have grown so much, not

physically as you all know, but personally and professionally. I never would have thought that my

experiences in ESA would contribute to my professional life. ESA has helped me to become more self

assured and that allows me to speak out and represent my Directorate with knowledge and confidence.

I am also more willing to initiate contacts and follow-ups with unknown persons because of my work

in ESA.

ESA has helped me make contacts in the community that I normally would not have done and I am

now a member of a Breast Cancer Awareness Association that provides education to all personnel

about cancer and other health issues. This year, we are reaching out to young adults to make them

aware of health concerns that they might face. I first went as a representative from Zeta Phi and have

since joined on my own.

I am amazed at the diversity of women in ESA and the wealth of knowledge and experience

represented. I have stayed for nine (9) years because of the depth of the friendships made and the good

work we do for our philanthropic projects. I have become a better “giver” through my experiences

with ESA. The support and encouragement from sisters all over the State has led me through Chapter

offices and committees, District offices and committees, several State Committee Chair positions and I

am now taking the step of running for State Elected office. I have never been so unconditionally

accepted for just myself and I have grown personally and professionally because of my involvement

with ESA. I am so proud and humbled to be a member of this fantastic organization and thank all of

you for helping me grow.
