1.  United in Music to Race for the Cure

by Carolyn Steckel, Tau Beta Sigma National Chapter Field Representative

 

By no means is the fight against breast cancer an easy one.  As our National Administrator, Dixie Mosier-Greene, is faced with this challenge, we realize how influential support from others is during this time.

 

The national councils of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma have united in their support for Dixie and urge chapters across the nation to do the same.

 

Over the course of each year, most every major city is host to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race for the Cure.  This race is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks around the world. Money raised goes towards funding research and increasing awareness of breast cancer.

 

The national councils are challenging each chapter to become involved in their local race for the cure in support of Dixie.  This can either be done through volunteering individual member’s time on race day, actually entering the race (it’s okay, you can walk!) or making a donation.  Information on race dates can be found at www.raceforthecure.com

 

A T-shirt in support of Dixie will also be available through the National Headquarters.  A portion of each sale will be donated towards breast cancer research.  They would be an excellent choice for the chapter to wear on race day! Watch for order information soon!!!

 

More information will be available soon!  Watch new notes and the listserve for more announcements on this project!

ed. note:  Attached to this article is a PowerPoint Presentation created by Carolyn that you should see.  It would be a great way to let your entire chapter know of this special, important project!

Please ensure widest possible delivery to all chapters, colonies & members in your respective districts!  

The idea of this electronic newsletter is to be able to quickly and efficiently send out information to every individual member.  Therefore, it is up to the District Leaders to designate someone to be responsible for forwarding on to the chapters or Chapter Presidents in their district.  Once the Chapter Presidents have the newsletter, please ensure every member of your chapter receives it!  Unfortunately, I regularly talk to chapters members who have do not received NewsNotes On-Line.  Please help us to communicate to the individual member!

 

All NewsNotes On-Line issues are available on-line at http://www.kkytbs.org/newsnotes.html. 

 

Many thanks,
