State Days
Arkansas
Arkansas State Day, hosted by the Northwest Arkansas alumnae chapter, will be held in conjunction with the Alabama-Arkansas football game on Saturday, Sept. 25, in Fayetteville. NWARKD received a $500 grant for the first KD State Day in Arkansas, and details are being planned for this event. For more information, contact Kristi Callaway at callaway3@sbcglobal.net.
Georgia/South Carolina
“KD on My Mind: Remembering the Past, Planning the Future” will likely stay on the minds of the 140 KDs who attended the Georgia/South Carolina State Day, thanks in part to the introduction of the theme song, “KD on My Mind,” written by alumna Jan Lammert and sung to the tune of “Georgia on My Mind.” The event, held on July 30-31, was hosted by the Greater Atlanta Day alumnae chapter under the direction of co-chairmen Dot Mears and Pat Anderson Tooke and was attended by representatives from Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia Council as well as KDs from eight alumnae chapters and 10 collegiate chapters.
In addition to several high-spirited singalongs, the program featured speakers “Sister Schubert” (Patricia Woods Barnes), National President Beth Martin Langford and National Vice President-Collegians Jody Jenkins Corry, a White Rose Tree table, a silent auction, awards and an ongoing photo presentation.

Friendships began to warm up when KDs from six alumnae chapters and two collegiate chapters gathered July 23-24 in Columbus, Ohio, for “Summer in the City,” Kappa Delta’s 2010 Ohio State Day. The weekend event included a casual pizza party on Friday evening and a luncheon on Saturday with keynote speaker Margaret Holt Duncan, former national vice president-membership.
Also on the program were a White Rose Ceremony that recognized Joyce Swartley Tilton and Polly Petrash Kaserman for 50 years of KD membership, alumnae awards, a silent auction and a photo presentation of alumnae activities during the past two years. The event chairman was Debbie Conway, Ohio state communicator,with assistance from Pat Todoran, Alicia Notestone, Linda Norris Petersen, and the Akron, Cleveland West, Columbus and Dayton alumnae chapters.
