Notes From The Basileus

Greetings Sorors,

Welcome to February, the month of love! This month we celebrate Black History and Valentine’s Day. I hope you feel Black Pride and experience moments of heart-felt love every day of the month. Since our January meeting, our Standing Committee Chairs and Officers met for the 2023 Eboard Kickoff meeting. We had a wonderful time of sisterly bonding while Sorors began planning and preparing to best serve you. Sorors, we are at our best when we feel connected while working together sharing our time and talents. If you have not yet signed up to serve on at least one Standing Committee, please sign up now using the provided QR Code.

Here are a few reminders:

1) Dues: If you did not pay your 2023 dues and Regional Conference Assessment by February 1st, you have now incurred a lapse in membership. Please email: treasurer@akaduo.org if you still need to pay your assessment and dues. If there are circumstances pertaining to your dues that you would like to discuss, please contact me.

2) The 94th Far Western Regional Conference: Registration is now open. Information about registration and hotel accommodations have been emailed. Additionally, guests can now purchase tickets to the Masquerade After Party through Eventbrite for $50. Please spread the word so guests can purchase tickets to this “Masked Affair”. Check your email for more details.

3.) Delegates: We will vote on delegates for Regional Conference at the February chapter meeting. You must meet the requirements as outlined in our Chapter Bylaws in Article V to be considered as a delegate.

I hope to see you at our February Chapter meeting and our Founders’ Day Observance immediately following our Chapter meeting on February 11th .

Sisterly with a smile, Kristie Thompson
