This upcoming year!!!

Hello Sisters!!

To start this post, why not give a little bit of a background on who Jane is. Well, I am a very recent graduate of Bowling Green State University. Right now I am jobless but am on the search. I have an interview this Friday with the Akron Public Schools, this is my first big kid job interview!! I also will be interviewing for other summer jobs. Along with that I have nothing going on besides watching my new niece grow up!! I can't wait until this summer to get more involved in TBS, FUNction is coming up and you should register! There is also National Convention, which is the first time I will ever get to go and you should register if possible!! There will be a great time had by all!!!

For this upcoming year I would like to do a Penny-War all throughout the year at each district event, I will have the cups available for all chapters to either put in pennies (positive) or other change/bills (negative). We had a great turn out for this at District Convention and I figured why not see how much we can make the district in a full year. I also have a few District T-Shirts that have not been sold in many years, I am going to make them into pillows and they will be available for sale at district events for $5. I also have TBS stickers that can be bought for $2 each. I also would like to continue doing the raffle for a reserved table at District Convention for the whole chapter. I am going to have these at each event and the sale will go through the whole year to help make it a little more competitive, all you have to do is write your chapter name on it and when the ticket gets pulled at the last block of the year someone from your chapter needs to be present to win. If you have any ideas for fundraisers please let me know!! I am always looking for ideas. I can't wait to see you all at FUNction!!!

MLITB,

Jane

Summer FUNction: Register!

Hello Sisters of the NCD,

This is a very exciting time to be the VPSP for the district.  Summer FUNction is less than a month away, which means that your chance to register for a fun-filled weekend is drawing to a close!  Here's some information about FUNction that may help you make an informed decision to attend or not:

Where: Dune Lake Campground in Coloma, MI
When: Friday, June 21st-Sunday, June 23rd (you don't have to stay the whole time)
Why: SO many activities with the Brothers and Sisters!

Here is where to register:


Registration Deadline: THIS Saturday, June 1st

The total cost for registration is $25 to cover campground sites and food.  You will be fed the entire weekend.  More details will be given out once the date draws closer.  All the information you need should be on the link above, and if not you may always ask me anything.

I'm very passionate about FUNction not only because I'm putting it together, but also because it's the only time during the year we can come together as a district and just have a fun weekend.  Sure Blocks and Leadership and Conventions are fun, but there's also quite a bit of work to be done at these events as well.  FUNction is different because it is purely social and is a great opportunity to meet some new friends and establish the strongest sense brother and sisterhood we can.  Please consider coming, you would make my day!

In The Bond,

Zach

Ideas Please!


Sisters,
I want to take a moment and let you all know about the wonderful world of Dallas. I go to The University of Akron, majoring in Communications. I am currently working two jobs, at Chipotle and Chick-fil-a (What a couple, right??). I don’t do too much outside of school and work anymore and I cannot wait for my TBS adventures this Summer!
With that being said, I would like to thank you all for electing me for VPM this year. It is such an honor and the faith that you have all put in me in incredible and I promise to do my best and help maintain the greatness that is the NCD!
I just want to let everyone know what is happening in the world of VPM right now. I haven’t been too crafty getting started on any big projects yet. (I mean, hey, I need a couple days to recoup!) But I have been trying to talk to many people and have been answering all the questions that have been thrown my way.
I do have some questions for you and would like for you to get in contact with me with some answers! What do you guys want to see at MER this year? I have heard a few small ideas from some people however I would like to hear more. It is about you guys and I want to present relevant information that you guys can use.

Summer

Dear Sisters of the NCD -

Here at Illinois State, this past week was that dreaded time of year that can either make you feel better about yourself or make you cry... finals. However, now that those are over, it is summer!

Not only is summer a time of freedom, but it is also a time of preparation and excitement. In other words... the district councils of TBS and KKPsi have a lot planned! We have a time to meet, there is Summer FUNction, and, of course, NATIONAL CONVENTION!

Now, there are all of these wonderful opportunities during the summer, but I want you to know that your council is using this time effectively. We are having monthly Skype meetings, as well as frequent e-mails. Our goal is to be as prepared for every event and activity by the end of summer. This means that we can do more for YOU! We all want to have a successful year, which means that not only are we prepared, but YOU are prepared.

The council will frequently be communicating with you over the listserv, Facebook page, NCD website, and personal e-mails. What does this constant communication do for you? Well, it allows you to be informed, plan, and collaborate with others about the event or information given.

So, here is some information that could prove very important!

June first is a magical date this year! This is the date that the Chapter Summary Report is due over the online system, the MEPs are due to Trudy, and registration and payment is due for Summer FUNction... Make sure you are staying on top of these things! It is extremely important that they are submitted on time. Remember, the CSR and MEPs need to be completed and submitted on time in order to be eligible for Counselor's Cup!

Before I go, I want to say one more thing. Have a fantastic summer with whatever you are doing. Do things with your friends that will produce great memories. No matter what time of your life you are in, you can always make time for fun!

Cannot wait to see many of you this summer! :)

MLITB,

Anthony
