ATTENTION !
LEADERS NEEDED


                                January 23, 2023
Dear friends,
It is time to consider the future of DKG, Alaska State.  Please be thinking about members who would make good leaders for our organization.  To quote President Amy, “Our organization still has great purpose and meaning so we stand together in strong unity and carry on.”  In order to “carry on” we need leadership for 2023 – 2025. Think about someone who would be an excellent President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary and 3 for the Nominating Committee.
When you have a suggestion, contact someone on the 2021-2023 Nominating Committee.

There are many exceptional opportunities listed below. Feel free to join in any of these events that interest you!  We are fortunate this week to be invited by the European Forum Friday, January 27, 2023, 8 a.m. Pacific time, to a very informative program. Some of you may be familiar with the excellent book, Four Perfect Pebbles, written by Marion Blumental Lazan, a DKG Honorary member and a survivor of the Holocaust. Marion will be the speaker. What a great opportunity for all of us to hear such an excellent presentation and to support the European Forum. See below for the Zoom link. 
 
There are other sessions this week, including one on Oral Language Skills for Children. Check out the schedule below, and also get a preview of activities ahead in future weeks.
 
Of course, all of these are optional, but we all grow when we are lifelong learners and Zoom has allowed us to connect with many members we might not get to know otherwise.  If your state or chapter is having virtual sessions, please consider inviting others to attend.  That is the spirit of inclusivity we like to see in DKG.

INVITATION TO WEBINAR from the Europe Forum
Maria Katharina Heimbach, Chair, Europe Forum, invites DKG members and guests to attend….
Four Perfect Pebbles by Marion Blumenthal Lazan, DKG honorary member
Friday, January 27, 2023 at 11am EST, 10am CST, 9am MST, 8am PST
There are still women and men among us who bear witness to the devastating, terrible events of the years when the Nazi regime reigned Germany.
As one of them, Marion Blumenthal Lazan incessantly advocates for tolerance and respect when she addresses her audience of students and adults all over the USA and in Europe while speaking of her family´s odyssey during the years of 1939 to 1948.
The DKG members of Germany are honoured to present a virtual visit with Marion Blumenthal Lazan and her Holocaust story—a message of perseverance, determination, faith and hope.
Four Perfect Pebbles is the award winning memoir in which Marion recalls her childhood spent in concentration camps. It is a story of horror and hardship, but also of courage and the will to survive.
