1. Headquarters Receiving Numerous Inquiries about Books & Manuals

The National Headquarters has received a number of inquiries regarding when chapters could expect delivery of the 2001-2003 version of all books and manuals. All of you should be aware that there have been major restructuring of the books this past biennium, and as a result, we will only ship three books: The Chapter Operations Handbook & Constitution; The Guide to Membership; and the Ritual.

We are still receiving changes to the old books as a result of the 2001 National Convention, but all are nearing completion. We hope to ship hard copy versions within the next six weeks. Until we have them back from the printer, all books will be available for download from our website as soon as they are in final form (please check http://www.kkytbs.org/forms.html for all available books, guides, and forms currently posted).

Current status of all publications is as follows:

KKPsi Guide to Membership -- Available on-line now; at printers now. Estimated date for shipping hard copy: mid November.

KKPsi Chapter Operations Handbook & National Constitution -- All changes have been received and are being made. Will go to the printer October 15. Estimated date for on-line availability: October 12. Estimated date for shipping hard copy: mid November.
