On Saturday morning, April 28, Beta Zeta chapter had brunch together and learned about the treasure in our own backyard, The Nimitz Museum (National Museum of the Pacific War). Karen Loeffler described the early days of the museum as well as the recent multi-million dollar renovations that have expanded the museum to a total of 6 acres filled with 900 artifacts and hundreds of historic photographs, and media installations. After the meeting, Beta Zetas took the self-guided tour through the museum.
President Tammy announced that Jerrie won the 5 Star Newsletter Award and that Andrea won the Exemplary Yearbook Award. Janet announced the names of the 10 Beta Zetas who have had perfect attendance at the meetings this year. Jerrie reported that the winners of the Aspiring Educator Awards will be announced at convention in June. We have 11 Beta Zetas registered for the exciting trip to the Las Colinas Convention in June to support the State President, our own Joanne Davis as she presides over the convention.
Our Summer Social will be August 6 at 6:00 PM at the Windcrest Party House.

If you have ever dreamed about writing a book, local author Donna Ketchbaw will be an inspiration for you to finally put your best efforts down on paper. She shared the story of her journey that led to the publishing of her award winning book Savannah's Choices. The book took four years to write and was a finalist for 2008 Indie Excellence Award, named Best Book of Year in Romance of 2010 and is already being considered for a screenplay. She reminded us that we probably all have a book inside of us that we could find a way to put on paper.
