Happy Thanksgiving to Alpha Chi Sisters!

Hostesses for November: Mary, Charlene, Sue & Celia

Proud to support TARC our state Altruistic project!
Sue, Nancy, Barbara, Celia

What a great time Alpha Chi shared together playing Bunco for TARC, our state altruistic project.  Fun was shared by all that attended our November meeting at Rasco.  The competition ended up having more ladies loose various categories than those that won!   Our annual Christmas party was discussed, and will be held at the Picket Fence in Lake Jackson on December 1st at 6:00. The meeting will be short and will be followed by a Dutch Treat dinner. 

Barbara & Rita sorting Pecans!

The biggest news Alpha Chi is happy to share is the Pecan Fundraiser is in full swing, the Pecans arrived and have been distributed to everyone who placed orders.  There are extra pecans to sell, so feel free to keep selling---the profit we make from the pecan sales will go toward scholarships for seniors at Brazosport and Brazoswood High School Seniors that want to pursue teaching degrees.

"FALL" into Founder's Day Celebration, Pecan Sales & Alpha Delta Kappa Month

Alpha Chi celebrated Alpha Delta Kappa Month with a pumpkin activity led by Sharon Roeder & Linda Burns.  October is recognized as Alpha Delta Kappa Month and teachers have shared various ways they have  shown their campus that Alpha Chi is active and supportive. We are gathering Pecan orders for our major fund raiser this month.  One  of our projects is offering a Pecan Pie along with two bags of pecans for a silent auction that will be held at the Lake Jackson Museum Fund raiser, all proceeds will go to the museum. 

We are definitely embracing our biennium theme, "Connections...Moving Forward Together."

Many Davis, Rasco Middle School Assistant Principal, presented the program "World Understanding: Hispanic Culture."



She shared personal experiences, ideas, and  successful strategies that she has used in her teaching and administrative roles.


District X President Sharon Talasek



District X held Founder's Day at Southshore Harbor in League City and was hosted by Beta Theta.  Barbara, Jacque, Cindy and Coni attended the luncheon and meeting.  The guest speaker was Dr. Carroll Lassiter who shared various healthy ways to live a longer life.  Sharon Talasek, District X President presided over the Founder's Day celebration.

Guest Speaker

Alpha Chi is honoring our past and present leaders along with our members who are willing to make a commitment, and step outside their comfort zone and assume responsibilities for bettering the future of education.
