Hey there...
Check your (snail) mailboxes - the latest issue of the Angelos has arrived - the 100th issue! Judy Thorne & staff have once again done an incredible job. If you don't receive the Angelos by the end of next week, maybe HQ doesn't have your correct address. You can update it online at http://www.kappadelta.org or send an email to kappa delta@kappadelta.org.
Now, on to your messages! :)
AOT,
Annie

Beta Pi's new webpage is up and running! The web address is www.ufkappadelta.com Also, we may add an alumnae link in the fall. It would function similar to our sisters only link. We have it set up as a forum where anyone registered can post messages. I'll have more information to follow in the future.

Attention to any Alpha Alpha Chapter Alumnae or any KD Alumnae in Michigan
near Michigan State University:
We are starting a Kappa Delta alumnae listserv for our chapter which will
include info on upcoming events, things going on regarding our chapter, and
any other interesting news to keep everyone updated and in touch. Our
alumnae relations are not what we would like to be and I would really like
to change that for our chapter. I am just starting this listserv up and need
help getting e-mail addresses and it would be awesome if you would send me
yours or tell a friend about it too. My e-mail address in Nussbau2@msu.edu!
Hope everyone is having a great summer and I look forward to hearing from
you soon!

I am a Kappa Delta, mid-career, in New York City looking to meet other KD's who work in mid-town. I know of one nearby KD, but there must be more! I wanted to see if there is interest in meeting in the summer in Bryant Park (42nd and Sixth) or another outdoor area at 45th and Sixth. This would be a bring your own lunch get-together to share personal and professional tips. There is so much to learn from each other no matter what our age! Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks!

Hi!
I am retiring from a teaching career that began in 1962 in Los Angeles. I am an Alpha Iota graduate who has lived in Scottsdale, AZ for the past 35 years. At the present time I am a mortgage/loan consultant and would love to help any of my sisters who are planning to move to Arizona. We have many planned communities to choose from, and I would be happy to guide people to their retirement home, or find that first home for Kappa Deltas who are relocating.

For those who are fortunate enough to still be blessed by having your Mom
with you, this is beautiful. For those who don't, it is even more beautiful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the long way?" she asked.
And the guide said "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before
you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."
But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything
could be better than these years.
So she played with her children, she fed them and bathed them,and taught
them how to tie their shoes and ride a bike and reminded them to feed the
dog, and do their homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on them,
and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this!"
Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path was sometimes dark, and
the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and
covered them with her arms, and the children said, "Mother, we are not
afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed
and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the
children, "A little patience and we are there."
So the children climbed, and as they climbed they learned to weather the
storms. And with this, she gave them strength to face the world.
Year after year, she showed them compassion, understanding, hope, but most of all ... unconditional love.
And when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you."
The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years,and the mother
grew old and she became little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage.
And the mother, when she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said, "This
is a better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are
now passing these traits on to their children."
And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave her their
strength, just as she had given them hers.
One day they came to a hill, and beyond the hill, they could see a shining
road and golden gates flung wide.
And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the
end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk with dignity and
pride, with their heads held high, and so can their children after them."
And the children said, "You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you
have gone through the gates."
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed
after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A
Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence."
~~~~~
Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk
down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you
pick and perfume that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're
not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She
is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow,
she is Christmas morning.
Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear
drop. A mother shows every emotion..........happiness,sadness, fear,
jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy sorrow.....and
all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow
with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend,even your
first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space..............not even death!
We pay tribute to all Mothers, our angels of compassion and support!
